A young man was about to finish school．For a long time he had 1 to get a beautiful sports car．He knew his father could well 2 it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted．
Then on the morning of his graduation(毕业), he was called to his father's room．His father told him how 3 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how 4 he loved him．He handed his son a beautiful gift box． 5 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible(圣经)with his name on it．Angrily, he raised his 6 to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then 7 out of the house, leaving the Bible．
Many years passed and the young man was very 8 in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family． 9 that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him．He had not seen him 10 that graduation day．Before he could go, he received a 11 telling him that his father had died．He had to go home immediately and take 12 of the things that his father left him．
When he began to search through his father's important papers, he saw the still new Bible, 13 as he had left it years ago．He opened the Bible and began to 14 the pages．As he was reading, a car key with a tag(标牌)dropped from the back of the Bible．On the tag was the 15 of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”．Sadness and regret(悔恨)filled his heart．
As an engineering student, I had a degree and three good job offers．I couldn’t help trembling when I heard about studies which showed that women are at a(n) 1 when it comes to math．However, I discovered：just because a subject is 2 to learn, it does not show you are not good at it．You just have to grit your teeth and work harder to get good at it． 3 you do, there’s a(an) 4 chance you will enjoy it more than anything else．
In eighth grade I took algebra(代数)．On one test I got only 36 percent of the 5 answers．I failed the next one, too．I started to 6 maybe I’m just not good at this．I was lucky enough to have a teacher who didn’t take my bad grades as a judgment of my 7 , but 8 as an indication that I should study more．He 9 me aside and told me he knew I could do better．Success grows out of struggles to overcome difficulties．I 10 the following tests, and pulled my grade up to an A．
I studied a lot in college, too．I had moments of fear while sitting below the fluorescent lights in the 11 library on Saturday afternoons, when I 12 that the estrogen(雌性激素)in my body was 13 me from understanding thermodynamics(热动力学)．But the 14 in my class had to work just as hard, and I knew that I couldn’t 15 to lose confidence in myself．I didn’t want to choose between my femininity(女人气)and a good career． 16 I reminded myself that those 17 , the ones that say math comes more naturally to men, are faulty．
Here’s a secret：math and science don’t go 18 to most people．No one was 19 born knowing calculus(微积分)．But as a famous saying goes：Y nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it．A woman can learn anything a man can, but first she needs to know that she can do it, and then takes a leap of 20 ．

完型填空
I ran into a stranger as he passed by．“I’m so sorry!” was my reply．Then he said, “Excuse me too…I wasn’t even watching for you．” We were very 1 , this stranger and I．Then we went on our way after 2 goodbye．
But at 3 , a different story is told．How we treat our loved ones, young and old．Later in the kitchen, as I 4 the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still．When I turned, I nearly knocked her down．“Get out of the way!” I 5 with a frown(皱眉)．She stepped away silently, with her little heart 6 ．I didn’t realize how rude I had been．
That night, when I lay 7 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 8 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite…Go and look around on the 9 floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the door．Those are the flowers she brought for you．She picked 10 up－pink, yellow, and your favorite blue．She stood there quietly and you never saw the tears in her 11 ”．
By this time, I felt sad and my own tears began to fall．I quietly went and knelt(跪)by her 12 ．“Wake up, my sweetheart,” I said．“Are these the flowers you 13 for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I wrapped them in a napkin(纸巾), just for you．I knew you’d like them, especially the 14 ．” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today…And I 15 have shouted at you that way…”
16 , she said in a soft voice, “Mommy, that’s OK…I still love you anyway．” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers．”
Do you know that：if you die tomorrow, the 17 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days．But the family you leave 18 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives．And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 19 than into our families－an unwise investment(投资)indeed．
Remember that 20 ＝(F)ATHER＋(A)ND＋(M)OTHER＋(I)＋(L)OVE＋(Y)OU．
