Whenever I recall my childhood, there is one thing I remember clearly. My father used his   36  to let my mother   37   her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the   38  . One evening, our father came home and there was no   39  , not even a piece of bread. My father had no money and he was as   40   as we were. My brother and I went to bed without having anything.

   41   I knew from the expressions on my father’s face that he could not    42   us be hungry for long. He left the house, and about two hours later he   43   and woke us up. He had two small potato pies in his hands. I didn’t know where he got the money for the food but somehow he   44   to find a way. It was clear that he wanted to get his children    45  .

My father did not eat and had    46   all day but he sat there and felt   47   at seeing us eat. This has always stuck in my   48  . At that moment, I felt moved   knowing that he tried his best not to let us   49  , and he wanted us to know he was always there ____50______ us.

In   51   times, I think, it is important not to   52   weakness but strength.   53   the mother is the cement(黏合剂)that   54   a family together, then the father is the steel that strengthens(加固) that cement.

It is his values and    55   that have carried me forward and helped me deal with my own problems in life.

I met Ryan, a young man with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), in my biology class. My simple "Hello!" and his cheerful reply were the   36  to our friendship from the first day of school. There was a time when Ryan was not able to come to school. He was in a great deal of   37    after having a surgery on his legs, but he   38  his sufferings from everyone.
In our junior year, we found that we didn't   39  a single class. This was not a problem, though. We just talked a little more in the hallway   40  passing periods. That year seemed to fly by. One day, Ryan asked me to hold the torch (火炬) runner's flag that would   41  the spot where Ryan would   42  his Olympic torch run. He gently explained that he would be honored   43  I would accept this position for him. The Olympic committee sent a letter saying that the person that holds the flag for him must be someone   44  to him. He said I was the only true friend he had   45  made that talked to HIM and not to his wheel chair. How could I   46  such a request?
On the morning of June 5th, as I walked down the sidewalk, my heart   47  and my mind became a factory of questions. I kept wondering how everything was going to happen and how Ryan would   48  the huge crowd of thousands of people.
After the van arrived, the other runners got out and lined up outside the van, chanting his name, "Ryan! Ryan!" Then all of the people   49  in, “Ryan! Ryan!” The lift then lowered Ryan to the ground. There he was, in all his   50 .
It all became slow motion at the sight of the arriving torch. The runner lit Ryan's torch and then Ryan began his   51 . As he took off down the street, the chanting became louder and louder. The   52  filled the air and even I felt like I was on cloud number nine. I could not have been any prouder of Ryan！ He   53  this moment in time --a historic moment--a moment that he was a part of and   54  me to be a part of, too.
Mr. Weinheimer, the next torch runner, bent over and gave Ryan a hug. That moment will last in time forever. It symbolized the whole   55  of the flame: love, excitement, enthusiasm, brotherhood, and life of any man. The flame united us all and showed that love is really what makes this small world go around after all.
