I was a publishing director and was looking forward to embracing a new day of work, as always,that morning.

I would always turn to the crossword, but that day it didn't  31  I'd been doing it for 30 odd years, but trying to read this one was like treading through syrup(糖浆): 32  slow and hard. I thought I must be tired. I said to my assistant. The 33  colleague contacted my wife, Beth, and she drove me straight to hospital. There, confirmation came that I'd had a stroke in the part of my brain that 34 communication. I was now in a condition that means it's difficult or 35 to receive and produce language. It was the only time I 36 .

I was back at home a week later, and my goal was to get better and  37  Work in a couple of months. The way to  38  my language ability was rough. I'd look at simple pictures and try to describe them as my mind  39  round and round in the darkness, looking for words.

As the months passed it became  40  that I wasn't going to be able to go back to my old job. For 25 years, I had  41  myself as a publisher. I was used to a busy day of meetings. I enjoyed colleagues and the 42 I'd had. I didn’t feel ready to say goodbye to my old self. There were times when I felt incredibly  43 .

In the darkest months, I devoted myself to  44 . I couldn't manage novels or newspapers,  45  I tried reading poetry, and found the shorter lines less overwhelming. My speech came back, and I learned how to read again, though much more slowly. I also learned the  46  to keep up. I allowed myself to slow down, and started to enjoy it.

47  , I rid of my old skin. I grieved the past, its passing and its absence, and started to 48  it. Now,  10 years  later,  I look after my grandson a day a week, and my relationship with my family is deeper than ever. If you'd asked me 15 years ago to  49  the importance of the things in my life I might have said work, but now I'm no longer a high-achieving publisher. I'm a  50         man.

I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand.All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap.They did not make me happy, however, as tins was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.I tried in vain lo convince him that I did nothing wrong all the way, but it didn't help.

When we.arrived at the sate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls.I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him."Be a man, "he said."today you truly begin your life.You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave."

I took a few steps.Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view.I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me.I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way.But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, " Who brought you? "

    "My father," I whispered.

    ''My father's dead, " he said simply.

I did not know what to say.The gate was now closed.Some of the children burst into tears.The bell rang.A lady came along, followed by a group of men.The men began soiling us into ranks.We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings.

Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis.From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls.I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.

We played all sorts, of games.In the music room we sang our first songs.We also had our first introduction to language.We saw a globe of Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries.We started lean-line numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe.We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning.

Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded.We had to be observant and patient.It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting.And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold.Even more frequently

she would resort to physical punishment.

The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work.The children rushed toward the gate, which was opened again.I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate.I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there.I stepped aside to wait.
