A little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?” “Because I’m a woman,” she told him.
“I don’t understand,” he said. His mum just hugged him and said, “You  36 will.”
Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does my mother seem to cry for no reason?” “All women cry for no reason,”  37  so much could his dad say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still  38  why women cry.  39  he gave a call to God, and when God got on the phone, he asked, “God, why do women cry so  40 ?”
God said, “When I made the woman she had to be  41 . I made her shoulders 42 enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give  43 .”
“I made her  44 childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else  45 , and to take care of her family in spite of sickness and fatigue (劳累) without  46 . I gave her the sensitivity to  47 her children under any and all circumstances,  48  her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her wisdom to carry her husband through his 49 . I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never  50 his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him  51 . And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. She can use it whenever it is needed.”
“You see, the beauty of a woman is not in the  52 she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she  53 her hair. The  54 of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart and the place where love  55 .”

I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,   36  to look at each other． But we soon lost the   37   and started playing with each other． In the 7^th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was going through family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”.   38  of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would   39  sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．

It was last year when I noticed the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and   40  did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．

She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症)． I was very   41_  at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend   42  deserted her. When people were calling her   43 , I knew I still   44  her like a sister．

Yesterday she came   45  me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was   46  I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting,  the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my   47  ． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you   48  me． I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were   49  me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never   50  your friends．
