I never know how well Mother could keep a trust until I was going through her things after she died. I discovered something I had 1 forgotten, something that happened to me as a child.
One night, as I lay in bed 2 my sister and I had said our prayers, I recalled the events of the day and how 3 I had behaved towards Mother. “I must make things right before going to sleep,” I thought.
Quickly I 4 out of bed and picked up a pencil and paper, then tiptoed into the hall. The 5 from the living room shone dimly. I knew Mother was downstairs mending socks.
I quickly 6 a note asking Mother to forgive me for being so 7 . I didn’t want my brothers and sisters to know our 8 so I added a postscript: “Please don’t let anyone see this.” Then I quietly moved 9 my parents’ bedroom and put the letter under Mother’s pillow.
The next morning, when I 10 my bed after breakfast, I unexpectedly 11 a note under my pillow. Mother wrote that she loved me and 12 me.
This became my 13 of apologizing whenever I talked back or disobeyed. Mother always left a note, but she never 14 our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family. Even when we were 15 , she never mentioned them when we brothers and sister recalled our childhood.
When Mother 16 , I had to go through her personal belongings. In her desk was a bundle of notes tied with a faded ribbon （布条）. On top was a message in her handwriting. It read, “In the event of my death, please 17 these.”
I 18 the packet and glanced at the handwriting on the bottom. To my surprise, I 19 my childish writing, “P.S. Please don’t let anyone see this. Love, Edie.”
I gently placed the unopened bundle in the 20 along with other things for the rubbish burner. “Lord,” I prayed, “make me like my mother.”

阅读快车系列答案Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure？Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
Last week when I was on the train, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation—in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying.
Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were worried at the thought of driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.
There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and learn all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom, there is always one for you.
It surely beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.
