Today, many people are starving to death. Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did.
During the first five days he was hungry at his  1  mealtime, but after he had drunk a glass of water, his hunger went away. In the morning, when he ate his one meal, he ate quickly and had a   2   amount. During the next few days,   3 he was not hungry during the day, he quickly   4  every food stall (a table on which food is put to be sold), and the smell of food caught his    5   . During the third and the fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and    6    physical strength. He    7     his one meal and ate it slowly, enjoying every bite.    8    it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work.
　   This   9   changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime. It also  10   him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw   11  leftover food. He realized the importance of   12   for the very hungry person. He could no longer easily    13    by a hungry beggar on the street. But most   14   , he could now sympathize(同情) in a   15    way with the hungry people of the world.

I stood by and watched her and her mother busily decorating her college dormitory.Everything was in place，__1__ boxes under the bed and photos of her dearest friends on the wall.I closely monitored that this time things were __2__.I began to accept that her room at home is no longer __3__.It is now ours，our room for her when she visits.

I __4__ myself thinking of when I held her in my arms sitting in a chair by my wife's hospital __5__.One day old.So small，so beautiful，so perfect，so totally reliant on her new，untested parents.My life changed from the day I drove this little baby home from the __6__.I saw myself different that day，__7__.

Suddenly she looked up，__11__ me staring at her，which caused her to say to her mother，“Mom，Dad's looking at me funny.” She then said，“It'll be __12__，Dad.I'll be home from school soon.” I told her she would have a __13__ year.But I said little else.I was __14__　 that I would say something too small for what I was feeling，__15__ I only held onto our goodbye hug a little longer，a little __16__.

On the way back home，my eyes were wet and my heart was sore，and I realized that my __20__ was changed forever.

 “But what if I break my arm again？”My five-year-old daughter asked,looking very　1　.I knew she　2　very much to learn to ride,but ever since she’d fallen off her bike and broken her arm,she’d been afraid.

“Oh,honey,”I said.“I don’t think you’ll break another arm.”“　3　I could,couldn’t I？”“You know,honey,”I said,“　4　everything you do comes with risks.You could get a broken arm in a car　5　and then be afraid to　6　ride in a car again.You could break your arm jumping a rope.You could break your arm at gym.Do you want to　7　going to gym？”“No,”she said.And with a determined spirit,she stood up and　8　to try again.

I spent the rest of the afternoon at the park watching a very　9　little girl overcome a fear,and　10　myself on being a useful single parent after a painful divorce(离婚)．

“Grandma wanted you to find someone to　12　.”“What grandma wants is for someone to　13　my heart again.”“But Mom...”“You’re too young to　14　it,”I told her.“So I guess love isn’t like a broken arm.”she said. 　15　to answer,we walked the rest of the way in　16　.When I got home,I called my mother and　17　her for talking about this to my daughter.Then I did what I’d seen my brave little girl do that very afternoon.I agreed to　18　Steve.

Steve was the man for me.We　19　less than a year later.It turned out my mother and  daughter were　20　.
