My mother used to ask me what is
the most important part of the body. Through the years I would 31
the correct answer. When
I was younger I thought 32 was very important to us as humans，so I said，“My
ears, Mummy.” She said，“No. Many people are 33 . But you keep thinking about
it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years passed before she asked me
again. Since making my first 34_
, I had often thought over the
question. So this time I told her, “Mummy，it
must be our eyes.” She looked at me and said, “You are 35 fast，but
the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”
__36 the years, mother asked me a couple more _37_ and always her response to my answers
was, “ No, but you are getting _38_
every year, my child,” Then
last year, my Grandpa _39_ .
Everybody was heart broken. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it
was our _40_ to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She
asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”
I was _41
when she was asking me this now. I always thought this was a _42_ between her and me. She saw the _48_ on my face and told me, “This question is
very important. It shows that you have really _44
your life.” I saw her
eyes well up with tears. She said, “ My dear, the most important body part is
your _45 _ .” I asked, “Is
it because they hold up your head?” She replied, “No, it is _46
on them a crying friend
or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough _47
and friends that you
will have a shoulder to cry 48 when you need it.” Then and there I
understood the most important body part is not a _49 _ one. It is sympathetic(同情的) to the pain of _50_ .
