A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl, would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers. It was years later that finally understood what role modeling  16 in your life. Little did I known you were  17 every penny you earned to go to  18  school.
I cannot thank you enough for  19 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework. I wanted into the dining where you were buried  20   piles of law books. I was  21  .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for  22  ?When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t known. Moms 23  be lawyers too. You smiled and said,“In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was ,that statement kept   24  in my ears. I watched as you faced the   25  of completing your studies, staring companies with Dad, while still being a   26  and a Mom if five kids. I was exhausted  just watching you   27  .With your words of wisdom in my   28  mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world   29  .I set out to live my life filled with   30  ,seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I   31  found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary)  32   one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your   33  , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and   34  meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m   35  it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in boyhood, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and low. They could not depend on them for an education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way up to fame.
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
Some young men have no ambitions(抱负) to do anything; and they are to be pitied. They can never succeed unless they see their foolishness, and change their courses. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of parents and teachers, and depend upon their own honest and serious efforts.
【小题1】The best title for this passage is ________.

Dear son,

The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.

If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I spent   31   it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   32   the same things thousand and one times, do not   33   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   34   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   35  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   36  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   37   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking( 嘲弄 ) smile. I taught you   38   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the  39   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   40   to me.

If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   41   I need to and when not. When my   42   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   43  , the same way I did when you gave your first   44  . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   45   any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get 46  . Someday you will understand.

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the   47   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent( 无可奈何 ) for seeing me   48   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 49   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   50  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.

I love you, Son.

Your father
