There was a small boy living on a farm which seemed like so far away from everywhere. He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to start his everyday jobs and go out again later in the evening to do the same 　36　.
During sunrise he would 　37　a break and climb up the fence so that he could see the house with golden windows 　38　 the distance. He thought 　39　 great it would be to live there and his 　40　 would wander to imagine the modern equipment and electric devices that might 　41　 in the house. “If they could 　42　 the golden windows, they 　43　 have other nice things.” He then 　44　 himself, “Some day I will go there and see that wonderful place.”
Then one morning his father told him to stay at home and he would do the everyday jobs. 　45　 that this was his chance, he packed a sandwich and　46　 the field towards the house with golden windows.
He walked and walked. As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how he misjudged the long 　47　 and something else was very wrong. As he 　48　 the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad 　49　 of a painting surrounded by a broken-down fence. He went to the tattered (破烂的) door and 　50　. A small boy very 　51　 his age opened the door.
He asked him if he had seen the house with 　52　 windows. The boy said “Sure, I know” and 　53　 him to sit on the porch (门廊). As he sat there, he looked back from 　54　 he just came; the sunset 　55　 the windows of his house to gold there.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that  8   to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well,  9   of that. Yet I  10   if those“best years”were true in other  11   .

Then how about the field of   12   ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it  13   ,but look when these people  14   their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln  15   the life of a country lawyer and was elected to government. At what age? Twenty-six.

But why  16   best years some after thirty? After thirty, I  17   ,most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still  20   for me.
