  That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother 26 me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. __27_ , on this special morning, I felt like getting up early.

I stood by my window overlooking(眺望,俯视) the _28_, having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something _29_ in life.

As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and drive off, I 30 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket(水桶) _31_ on its handle(把手) and pieces of old and used cloth in a basket and bottles on its back-carriage(后座). He 32 from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already 33 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.

Several thoughts 34 my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) 35 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 36 would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed 37 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, 38 passers-by(过路人) and stopping to have a free talk now and then 39 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.

There was a noticeable sense of 40 in the way he seemed to be doing things— 41 the windscreen (挡风玻璃), then standing back to look at it proudly; scrubbing (擦净) the wheels and 42 , standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.

It was a 43 to learn, I felt. One doesn’t have to beg for a 44 at any age if one is in good health and willing to work hard. For a while I felt 45 of myself. Though I am young —just sixteen, and there was this old man before me who must have got up very early and been busy working so hard and actively.

My mother came to my bed, night after night, even long after my childhood years. She would  1 down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead.

  I don’t remember when it first started 2 me-her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough 3 my young skin. Finally , one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that any more-your hands are too rough!” she made no 4 and left quietly.

That night, I fell asleep with a new 19 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was  20 to be found.

Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my 36 .I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely 37 , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I _3 8  at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.

I felt tense and _39 It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to 40 myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the 41 before me, the violin under my chin.

The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more _42 and to stay more or less in tune. To my 43 ,I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any 44 at all. Then an old man, without stopping at all, dropped a penny into my   45 as though getting rid of some guilty evidence

I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually acquiring the truth of the  46 by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money-the sight could _47   a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to 48 it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to _49  his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a 50 practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off the cream, but always leaving two 51 behind.

Old _52 were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids. As for men, heavy drinkers were always receptive and so were big guys with muscles. But _53 a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the least _54 of all. Except for retired any officers, who would shout "Why aren't you 55 ,young mad?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.
