---I’m so sorry! I _______ .

I was on the shoulder of a busy highway in Chicago, looking at my tool-box and spare tire (备用轮胎). I had   31  tires before—that was not a big deal—but I was   32  about being approached by another person while stuck on the side of the road, or being   33  by a passing car.

As I bent into the trunk (后备箱), I heard a man’s   34  from behind and to my left. I had no idea what he said,   35  when I heard his voice I screamed and ran toward the   36  building. After a moment I realized he wasn’t  37  me, so I turned to see what he was doing.

38 , I saw a minibus full of boy scouts (童子军队员). They then   39  in front of my car. And I heard the man tell the boys to remove the spare tire from my trunk to   40  my flat! As I timidly (胆怯地) walked back, I could hear him speaking to the   41 .

“See, boys,” he said to them, “this young lady is terrified, and for good   42 . Thousands of young women are   43  every year. She did the right thing   44  like that.” He then told the boys how they, as men, are   45  not only for   46  and protecting them. After he made that  47 , he gave step-to-step instructions on changing a flat on the side of the road   48 .

The boys learned a lot that day, and so did I. I’m so grateful there are   49  men in the world. I saw one,   50  our youth to be honorable, making the world a safer place for women, for everyone.

As I sat beside the window of our classroom that afternoon, my heart sank further with each passing car. This was a day I’d looked forward to for weeks: Miss Pace’s fourth-grade, end-of-the-year party.
I had happily volunteered my mother when Miss Pace looked for cookie volunteers. Mom’s chocolate chips were well-known, and I knew they’d be a hit with my classmates. But two o’clock passed, and there was no sign of her. Most of the other mothers had already come and gone, dropping off their sweet offerings.
The three o’clock bell soon took me away from my thoughts and I took my book bag from my desk.
I decided I would slam the front door, and refuse to return her hug. But when I arrived, she wasn’t at home.
I was lying face-down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door.
“Robbie,” she called out a bit urgently. “Where are you?”
I could then hear her rushing anxiously from room to room, wondering where I could be. I remained silent.
Coming through the door, she said: “I’m so sorry, honey,” she said. “I just forgot. I got busy and forgot.”
Then my mother did something completely unexpected. She began to laugh! How could she laugh at a time like this? I rolled over and faced her, ready to let her see my rage (愤怒).
But my mother wasn’t laughing at all. She was crying. “I’m so sorry,” she said. “I let you down. I let my little boy down.”
I was moved by her tears.
I tried to remember her kind words from times past when I’d skinned knees or cut myself, times when she knew just the right thing to say.
“It’s okay, Mom. We didn’t even need those cookies. There was plenty of stuff to eat. Don’t cry. It’s all right. Really.”
We didn’t say another word. We just held each other. When we came to the point where I would usually pull away, I decided that, this time, I could hold on, perhaps, just a little bit longer.

I ran into(偶然撞到) a stranger as he passed by. “I'm so sorry ！”was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too. I wasn't even __36__ you.” we were very polite, this stranger and I.

__37at home, we treat our loved ones differently. While I was cooking, my daughter came up to me quietly. When I turned, I nearly knocked（撞） her __38__. “Get out of the way！”I barked（咆哮）. She ran away with her little heart broken. I didn't realize how __39_I'd spoken.

That night，as I lay awake in bed，God's quiet voice spoke to me, “While __40__ with a stranger，you're calm and polite, but with those you love, it’s easy for you to __41__. Go and look around on the kitchen floor. You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself. She stood there __42_， and you never saw the tears in her eyes.”

By this time，I felt sad and my own tears had begun to __43__. I quietly went and knelt by her bed, “wake up, my dear，” I said，“ are these the flowers you picked for me？” I asked. She __44_，“ I found them out by the tree. I knew you'd like them.”I said, “I'm so sorry that I missed them today. And I shouldn't have shouted at you that way.”She whispered，“ Mommy, that's okay...I still love you __45__.”I hugged （拥抱）her.

Are you aware that: if you die tomorrow, the company that you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family will feel the __46__ for the rest of their lives. We pour(倾注) ourselves more into our work  47   into our families—an unbalanced investment （投资）indeed.
