Word came that the government must control the spread of this disease.

“Our job，”said the　26　officer，“is to spray the wall of every house in every town and village in the malaria parts of Mexico.You may be　27　to learn that there are about ninety-nine thousand　28　villages and towns.Some are big places like the capital city，　29　are single houses deep in the forest or upon the mountaintops.The men working with our program say that most of these people　30　within districts which are　31　enough for the mala ria-carrying mosquitoes to live in and spread the disease.That　32　that we must plan to spray the bricks of　33　three million houses once or twice a year for five years.”

“We have　34　everything very carefully，”said the officer　35　.“Our advance guards have drawn　36　of some forty thousand parts of the country for　37　by the spray teams.Each house in the malaria districts has been given a special　38　so that we can work in order.The United States has given us cars and trucks to carry the spray teams and their　39　.”

“The malaria program has been　40　with the people in this country.Everyone wants to　41　.The Defense Department is helping us plan the　42　of men and supplies.The Education Department has printed sheets in Spanish to explain　43　malaria is spread.Resistance is a problem.It was in the neighboring country—the United States that such resistance to spray was first　44　.Take the　45　of the housefly and D.D.T. At fist D.D.T. killed them off.Now it won’t hurt a fly.”

“What worries people is the danger that the mosquitoes may become resistant，”said the officer at last.

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 26 hand. Of course, we may 27 with our guide-books the history and 28 developments of a town and get to know them.

29 then, if we take our time and 30 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 31 it as a whole, we begin to have some 32 , which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 33 this —— this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 34 in this particular way, and not in any 35 way?

Here even the best guide-book 36 us. One can’t find the information in it about how a town has developed to the 37 appearance. It may not describe the original 38 of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it 39 look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine 40 the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 41 to develop.

What is the 42 of studying towns in this way？For me, it is 43 a matter that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A 44 visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive 45 just reading about it in a guide-book.

About 20 years ago, I was lucky to teach a disabled young woman named Audrey. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also very　 21　 in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university, she got two　 22　 , one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such　 23　 areas of study.

Just before her high school graduation, Audrey　 24　 me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolour painting of a mother and her baby. A tear　 25　 from the mother’s eye as she looked　 26　 at her child. Under the painting, Audrey had　 27　 these words: “The deep love from Mother, 　 28　 me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed and　 29　 in my office.

Years passed with many　 30　 from one office to another and I　 31　 the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I　 32　 a phone call from a former colleague who said she had 33　 of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years earlier. When cleaning out a storage room, she had　 34　 my gift.

I was struck that the　 35　 gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old, Audrey had a serious　 36　 . What’s worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She　 37　 it but was disabled.

To　 38　 , it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mother’s love has helped　 39　 a talent and how its　 40　 pushes me ahead.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with 21　 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 22 . But what makes bolgging different from writing in a(n) 　　 23　 diary?

　 The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 25 that he does not want to 26 with others.

　 It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

　 I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 28 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 　29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 30 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 31 that my sister might read it.

The biggest 32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 33 about him in my diary, he would never know. 34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 35　 her blog and get angry.

　 There are also 36 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would　 37 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly 38 and tell her how much they 39　 her. Blogs help people 40 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which, 　 31　 , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something 　32　 in the company should ever do.

I wish I　 33　 give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow — 　 34　 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m 　 35　 , experienced and I know better.

　 　 36　 I work with some very kind and compassionate(富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to　 37　 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 　 38　 they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ 　 39　 ” person here.

One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 　 40　 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely 　 41　 about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would　 42　 to such an extremely embarrassing incident.

As I expected , Lois didn’t pass over the　 43　 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly,　 44　 with empathetic consideration. She listened to my　 45　 . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)　 46　 .

“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to 　 47　 that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s　 48　 . It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her　 49　 to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”

I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those　 50　 words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.
