8.In 2009,my mentor (导师) Sharmishta was diagnosed with cancer.I(41)Athe frequency of my visits to her home for fear of losing a good friend.I always wondered how she could be so(42)Dall through her treatment.She was always elegantly dressed and(43)Bme with a smile.
On my every visit,she was busy(44)Csomething.She kept it a(n) (45)Dand never answered any of my questions about it.I(46)Cmaybe she was setting down her daily experiences.
As time went by,she gradually stopped(47)Bto the treatment.Later,she left this world.I was completely(48)D.Then,one day,I received an email saying that there was a parcel waiting for me to(49)A.They were unable to deliver it(50)Cthe address mentioned was wrong.
I was astonished to find the name of Sharmishta under the sender's name.The parcel was sent by her mom.I was surprisingly(51)Awhen I opened the parcel and found Sharmishta's diary with a(52)C saying,"I know you want to read this diary.This is my(53)Dfor you."
There were 34 pages in the diary,with each page dedicated to a stranger she had met or seen.She wrote to(54)Bhow she met with the stranger with a wish for him or her.She wrote 34 letters with 34 wishes for all the 34 strangers she(55)Amet or seen in her life.(56)B,there was not a single letter addressed to herself.She knew her(57)Cwas worsening day by day and was(58)Athat life would be difficult for her.
I could now understand the silent(59)Dof peace and calm on her face.She left the world with 34 wishes for 34 strangers because she believed-the more you give,the more you(60)B.
