A true apology is more than just acknowledgement（承认）of a mistake. It’s recognition that something you’ve said or　 36　 has damaged a relationship - and that you　 37　 enough about that relationship to want it　 38　.

　　It’s never　 39　 to acknowledge yon are in the wrong. Being human, we all need the art of apology. Look hack and think how　 40　 you’ve judged roughly（草率），said　 41　 things，pushed yourself　 42　 at the expense（在使某人受损的情况下）of a friend. Some deep thought in us know that when　 43　 a small mistake has been made, your　 44　 will stay out of balance until the mistake is acknowledged and your regret is　 45　.

　　I remember a doctor friend,　 46　 me about a man who came to him with　 47　 illnesses: headache, insomnia（失眠）,stomachaches and so on. No physical　 48　 could be found. Finally the doctor said to the man,“　 49　 you tell me what’s on your conscience（良心）,I can’t help you.”

After a short silence, the man told the doctor that he　 50　 all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was　 51　 His father had died, so only he himself knew the matter. The old doctor made the man write to his brother making an　 52　 and enclosing（附寄）a　53　.In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mail box. As the letter disappeared, the man　 54　 into team. “Thank you, doctor,”he said,“I think I'm all right now.”And he　 55　.

Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is　 36　 for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the sane　 37　 night after night. One would

 38　 them to know their parts by heart and　 39　 have cause to falter（结巴）.Yet　40　is not always the case.

　　A famous actor in a　 41　 successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat　 42　 had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act，a gaoler（监狱长，看守）would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.　 43　 the noble was expected to read the letter at each　 44　 ,he always insisted that it should be written out in full.

　　One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke　 45　 his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the　 46　 of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed（使显露）the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then，the gaoler　 47　 with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the　 48　and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in　

 49　 as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly,　50　 to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then，squinting（眯着眼看）his eves，he said,“The light is　 51　.Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler.　52　 that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied，“The light is indeed dim，sir. I must get my　 53　”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s　 54　 ，the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the　 55　 copy of the letter which he proceeded（继续进行）to read to the prisoner.

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal­Mart. She must have been 6 years old. It was　31　outside. We all stood just　32　the door of the Wal­Mart.

Her voice was so sweet for the　33　waiting.“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.

“What？” Mom asked.

“Let’s run through the rain！” She　34　.

“No, honey. We’ll wait until it　35　down a bit,” Mom replied.

This young child waited about　36　minute and repeated,“Mom, let’s run through the rain.”

“We’ll get soaked if we do,” Mom said.

“No,we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she　

　37　her Mom’s arm.

“This morning？When did I say we could run through the rain and not get　38　？”

“Don’t you remember？When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,‘If God can get us　39　this, he can get us through anything！’”

The entire crowd became dead silent. I  40  you couldn’t hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. Mom  41  and thought for a moment about what she would say.

“Honey, you are absolutely right. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need  42  ,” Mom said. Then off they ran.

We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they  43  past the cars. They held their shopping  44  over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were  45  by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the  46  to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your  47  possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your   48  .But no one can ever take away your precious  49  . So, don’t forget to  50  time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!
