The moment happened 30 yours ago but it was still fresh in my memory．I was a college freshman and had 1 up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends．Now just before my first 2 of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a 3 ．A few minutes nap(小睡)time before class couldn't 4 , I thought．
BOOM! I lifted my head suddenly and my eyes opened wider than saucers．I looked around with my 5 beating wildly trying to find the cause of the 6 ．My young professor was looking at me with a boyish(孩子气的)smile on his face．He had 7 dropped the textbooks he was carrying onto his desk．“Good morning!”, he said still 8 ．“I am glad to see everyone is 9 ．Now let's get started．”
For the next hour I wasn't sleepy at all．It wasn't from the 10 of my professor's textbook alarm clock either．It was instead from the 11 discussion he led．With knowledge and good 12 he made the material come 13 ．His insight was full of both wisdom and loving-kindness．And the enthusiasm and joy that he 14 with were contagious(有感染力的)．I 15 the classroom not only wide awake, but a little 16 and a little better as well．
I learned something far more important than not 17 in class that day too．I learned that if you are going to do something in this life，do it well，do it with 18 ．What a wonderful place this would be if all of us did our work joyously and well．Don't sleepwalk(梦游)your way through 19 then．Wake up! Let your love fill your work．Life is too 20 not to live it well．
As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be bought, cards to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned．Parents are trying to hide presents from curious young children．If the gifts are large, this is sometimes a real 1 On Christmas Eve, young children find the excitement almost unbearable(不能忍受的)．They are torn between the wish to go to bed early so that Father Christmas will bring their presents quickly and the wish to 2 late so that they will not 3 the fun．The wish for gifts usually proves stronger．But though children go to bed early, they often lie 4 for a long time, hoping to see Father Christmas．
Last Christmas, my wife and I 5 hid a few large presents in the storeroom．I 6 the moment when my son, Jimmy, would ask me where that new bike had come from, but 7 he did not see it．
On Christmas Eve, 8 took the children hours to go to sleep．It must have been nearly 9 when my wife and I went quietly into their room and began 10 stockings．Then I pushed in the 11 I bought for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree．We knew we would not get much sleep that night, for the children were 12 to get up early．At about five o'clock the next morning, we were 13 by loud sounds coming from the children's room． 14 I had time to get out of bed, young Jimmy came riding into the room on his new bike, and his sister, Mary, 15 close behind pushing her new baby carriage．Then came the baby, moving on his hands and knees with a large balloon behind him．Suddenly it burst．That woke us up completely．The day had really begun with a band(巨响)！
That day, my parents were leaving for our hometown and I went to see them off．In fact, my father had never traveled by air before, so I just took this 1 to make his experience wonderful．In spite of being asked to book train tickets, I got them air tickets．
The moment I handed over the tickets to him, he was 2 to see that I had booked them air tickets．The 3 was very obvious on his face, waiting for the time of travel．We went to the airport together, checked the baggage, asked for a window seat and then waited 4 for the security check-in．He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, was filled with joy 5 him experience all these things．
As they were about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me．He became very emotional and it was as if I had done something 6 , but the fact that this meant a great deal to him．I felt surprised at his behavior．But later, thinking about the entire matter, I 7 my life．How many 8 did our parents have?Did they come true?Without understanding the financial situation, we, as children, 9 cricket bats, dresses, toys, outings, etc．Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to realize our wishes?Did we ever say thanks for all that they have done for us?
Instead of my dad saying 10 to me, I would want to say I'm sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream．I do realize how much he has 11 for my sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all their wishes．Being old does not mean that they have to 12 everything．They have wishes, too．
When my oldest son was in high school, he planned to attend a Christian contemporary concert with the youth group from our church．To my 1 , Aaron invited me to go along．I 2 accepted; however, by the time the date of the concert arrived, my youngest son had been ill, and I was 3 about him．My husband 4 me to attend the concert, promising he would take care of our youngest．I hesitated．
Finally, it 5 me．Aaron was sixteen years old．How many 6 would I have to do something fun with him 7 he went away to college? And how many youth actually 8 their mothers to attend a concert with them that was clearly for teens? The 9 was made．I would not miss this opportunity．
At the concert, I sat with Aaron in the third row, stuffing(填塞)cotton in my ears to block out the 10 , ear-splitting music of the first performer．I stood when the kids stood, clapped when they clapped, and never let anyone know how 11 I was to feel the floor vibrate(震动)beneath my feet．Aaron and his friends were 12 at my enthusiasm．
By the time we left the concert, my ears were ringing, but it quickly passed． 13 did my son's teenage years． 14 he was in college and away from home．I missed him more than I could say．On days when I was especially 15 for his ready smile and his teasing manner, I would think back to the concert we attended and be thankful once again that I didn't 16 an opportunity to spend time with my son．
Aaron is now grown and has a family of his own, but we are still very 17 ．Some days he calls just to 18 and tell me about his day．I drop everything and 19 the moment, knowing these times too shall 20 ．
I work as a volunteer(志愿者)for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti．Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to 1 him．
Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 2 ．For the first two days, he said almost nothing．I worried the trip was too 3 for a 17-year-old．Then, on Day three, as we were 4 over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned(咧嘴笑), “Pretty hard．”
After that there was no turning back．A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes 5 large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized(着迷)．He couldn’t stop 6 ．Later he said 7 ．“I wish I could speak French．” I was 8 －this from a boy who hated and 9 French classes throughout school．
Usually silent, he 10 Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people．He blossomed(活泼起来)．
11 , the moment that really took 12 breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains．I was 13 a woman villager for an article．135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in 14 ．Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and 15 to become part of the leadership of the 16 ．
Learning her story, Barrett was as 17 as I by this tiny woman’s achievements．His eyes were wet and there was a 18 of love and respect on his face．He had finally understood the importance of my work．
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay 19 as a volunteer．My insides suddenly felt struck．This 20 achieved all I’d expected．Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday．He’ll be a man．
