I’d worked for the same company for twenty years and had worked my way up to department director.2, one afternoon last May, I was called to the office, and it was 3explained to me that they were letting me go. I just sat there 4they talked on and all I could think was, “I’ve 5.” I’d been so well respected, but 6I was of no value.
For six weeks, I was in a very 7place. I wandered around my house like a zombie (僵尸). I could 8things needed doing, but would not do anything. My beliefs in looking forward and seeing the positive (积极的) in everything 9me.
Then, in late June, my youngest son’s football team made the city cup final. The year before, he’d been very sad when I10the same final, so he was 11when I told him I’d go. Not only did they win, but the look on his face as he saw me 12him on was unbelievable, From then on, I spent the summer enjoying my some and their passions (激情). I attended match after match and performances of my elder son’s band — I 13went to another city to watch him play. These moments were so 14. My life had been so much devoted to 15for so long, and I felt 16that my sons were happy to welcome me into their world.

It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas, but I had to stay to tidy the office. The only thing that ­1 my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a 2 sent to me by a fellow I was dating—a dozen long-stemmed red roses.
Suddenly, our receptionist came and said there was a lady outside that urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young 3 woman with a baby in her arms standing there. 4 , she explained that her husband—a prisoner in a nearby prison—was my next patient. She told me she wasn’t allowed to visit her husband in prison and 5 he had never seen his son. So she 6 me to let her wait here ahead of time. I agreed. After all , it was Christmas Eve.
A short time later, her husband arrived—with chains on his feet, cuffs on his hands, and two armed guards 7 him. The woman’s tired face 8 when her husband took a seat beside her. I watched them laugh, cry, and share their 9 . He seemed like a gentle and honest man.
