About ten years ago, I was on a plane going west, and a young woman boarded and sat across the aisle (过道) from me. I ___21____ her for two reasons. She was very attractive, and she was holding a teddy bear about half her ____22____. I teased her by asking if she had a ___23___ for the bear. She laughed and said no.

About halfway through the flight she ___24____ over and told me she was going to Tucson to enter rehab (进行康复治疗). She ___25___ to share her life story with me. She had been working as a dancer in a nightclub. That ___26____ had led her down a dark ____27____ to drugs and alcohol. As I listened to her story. I was ____28____ at all she had gone through. I listened to all she shared and told her I was sure she was going to ____29___ it. At the end of the flight, she ___30____ me for listening to her.

A few years later, I got a ___31____ in the mail saying, “Wow, it’s been years since we met on that plane. It is ___32____ how you touched my life.” She went on to tell me that she had ____33____ to stay away from drugs, and had been working for a radio station. She felt she had achieved things she could not have ____34___ that day on the plane. We agreed to set up a time to get ___35___.

When I saw her, she was ____36____ the attractive young woman I remembered. She told me that that little ___37___ we had had turned her life around. She had boarded the plane ___38___ anything would work in her life, and my affirmation (肯定) of her as a person and of her ___39___ had given her the last bit of ___40___ she needed to work through her problems.

The young woman taught me it’s never too late to make a new start in life.

Today, many people are starving to death. Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did.

　　During the first five days he was hungry at his   1   mealtime, but after he had drunk a glass of   2   , his hunger went away. In the   3   , when he ate his one meal, he ate quickly and had a   4   amount. During the next few days,   5   he was not hungry during the day, he quickly   6   every food stall（a table on which food is put to be sold）, and the   7   of food caught his   8   . During the third and the fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and

   9   physical strength. He   10   his one meal and ate it slowly, enjoying every bite.

   11   it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work.

　　This   12   changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not   13   a pastime. It also   14   him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw   15   leftover food. He   16   the importance of   17   for the very hungry person. He could no longer easily   18   by a hungry beggar on the street. But most   19   , he could now sympathize（同情）in a   20   way with the hungry people of the world.
