Just at that time，a telegram arrived from his brother．Mr．Jameson opened it quickly．It said，“Come home at once．Your wife is ill and in a critical（危急的）condition．West End Hospital．”Mr．Jameson began to think．Since the work at the mine was going well，he decided to go home at once．He just told himself again and again that he couldn't lose his wife，or his life would be meaningless．

　　At about 6 the next morning，he and one of his assistants reached Lamesa，where they were going to Chicago at 6：30．There was still half an hour left before the train started，so Mr．Jameson decided to telephone to Chicago to ask about his wife．And after that，if still enough time was left he could see a doctor and have the piece of coal or the piece of metal removed out of his eye．His eye and his whole head ached now．

　　After he sent his assistant to the railway station to buy tickets for the train，he went to make the phone call．When the operator put through his call，he sat down and waited．His eye felt like a piece of hot iron．And he was worried about his sick wife．The phone rang．Soon Mr．Jameson talked with the hospital in Chicago．A voice said，“Yes，sir！Your wife is here．She is much better．There is no danger now．You don't have to return．”

Everything was all right．His wife was going to live．He would not lose his wife．Quite excited，Mr．Jameson began to cry like a little child and could not stop．Big tears rolled out of his eyes and down his cheeks．Soon his eye felt better．He touched his eye and felt something in the corner of his eye．That was a small piece of coal．His tears had washed it out of his eye！

I got a cancer when I was 18. This was a big deal for someone to 31. I chose to fight. After treatments, I 32 from my illness. Life couldn’t have been any 33. When I became fit years later, I met a wonderful man and got married. 34, I still felt something missing and eager to find my 35.

As my 20-year anniversary (周年纪念) of being a cancer 36 approached, I wanted to do something special and 37. I organized a fundraiser, calling it “A Mission (使命) of Love” and thanks to my 38 family and friends, raised﹩4,000 for St. Jude’s, planning to 39 it myself. Three quarters of the money would be given as a (n) 40 to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying 41 for the children. I also organized a T-shirt 42 activity for any child who felt well enough.

Thanksgiving Day seemed the most 43 day of the year for the mission, and so it was all arranged. We went to a store and 44 three shopping carts with toys. It was 45 we were celebrities (名人) when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing.

On Thanksgiving Day, as we got to St. Jude’s, I became 46 emotional, as my eyes were filled with tears of 47. After dropping the toys off, we arrived where six children were waiting anxiously to begin painting. To me, it was as though they weren’t sick, and to see them smile was the greatest gift I could have ever 48.

Leaving there that day, I knew I had finally found my purpose. All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t 49 why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you 50 in life. It’s what you do for others.

myself off from her and never talk back to her. So every time she would say something，

____41_____I disagreed with her I would just say，“Okay，_____42_____you want，Mom"

　 But I_____43___got cold quickly. One night I just_____44_____talking to my mom about

the school homework and she said，“‘Oh，that's 45　 ”and then went back to mop

the floor.

　 “Don’t you ever_____46____？”I thought.　 But I didn't say anything and stormed off.

She had no idea I was even____47_____．She would have been willing to____48_____to me had I

told her how important it was to me.

you want me to do and I just do i‘because it's______51____than quarrelling. Well，I’m sick

　 After my blowup，we felt like we were starting all over in our 53　 ．But it's

getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always　 54　 my feelings with her.

　 If you adopt Lose-Win as your basic attitude toward life，you'll be　 55　 your
