The night of graduation, I was afraid. Two hundred people were sitting out there. I felt tense and I wanted to run away,  36  I couldn’t! After all, my own children were sitting in front of me with many other persons. I couldn’t be a coward(懦夫) before  37 .
When I ended the speech, I was  38  at the cheering. And I never forget the first time I received the cheering in my life.
Flowers arrived  39  my brothers and sister. My husband gave me silk roses. The reporters came with   40 and recorders and lots of questions. There were tears and hugs and congratulations.
Sometimes, I sit down and   41  the tape of my gaduation speech. I hear myself say to the audience, “Don’t’ give up your   42  in life. Anything can happen if you believe. It means hard work, but  43  sure that you can do it, with God’s help.”
And then, I remember mother’s   44  to me , a young girl: “Hurry, Gin, you’ll be late for school.”
Yes, Mom, I was late  45  school, but it was sweeter for waiting. I only wish you and Dad could have been there to see your daughter and granddaughter in all their show and speech.

My Fellow Americans,

I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).

Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would  36  this a private matter or we would make this news known in a  37  way.

In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer  38  I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to  39  public awareness(意识). We were happy that  40   many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to  41  to normal, healthy lives.

So now, we feel it is  42   to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater  43  of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are  44   by it.

At the moment I feel just fine. I’d  45   to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have  46  done. I will continue to share  47    journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch  48   my friends and supporters.

Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease  49 , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this   50  experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will   51  it with faith and courage.

At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of  52   me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home,  53  that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.

I now begin this  54  that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright   55  ahead.

Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.

Sincerely,

Ronald Reagan
