There was a boy who was sent by his parents to a boarding school(寄宿学校). Before he was sent away, the boy was the     41     student in his class. He was at the top in every exam.
But the boy changed after     42    home and studying in the boarding school. His grades started to     43   . He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like committing suicide(自杀). All of this was because he felt no one loved him.
His parents started to     44     the boy. But they even did not know what was wrong with him. So his father decided to go to the school and talk with him.
They sat by the lake near the school. The father started asking him some casual questions about his lessons, teachers and     45   . After some time his father said, "Do you know, son, why I'm here today?"
"To     46    my grades," the boy replied back.
"No, no," his father said. "I'm here to tell you that you're the most     47    person for me. I want to see you      48  . I don't care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. You're my life."
These words caused the boy's eyes to be filled with tears. He hugged(拥抱) his father. They didn't say     49    to each other for a long time.
Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on the earth who cared for him deeply. And today this young man is in university at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him     50   .

On the first day of school our teacher let us know someone. Looking out, we found an old woman 16 at the door. She said, “Hi, my name is Susan, I’m seventy years old.” While we were  17 what made her take this challenge (挑战) at her age, she said with a smile, “I'm here to meet a rich husband, get  18 , have two children and travel together.” Hearing this, all of us laughed. “In fact,” she went on, “I always    19 of having a college education, and now I’m getting  20 !”
After class we had chocolate and milk together. We became good  21 . I often listened to this “time machine” as she shared her study with me.
At the end of the term we invited Susan to give us a  22 . When she was stepped up to the front, suddenly she found she took the wrong paper. She felt a little frustrated(沮丧的) and said, “I'm sorry. I’m so nervous that I can’t get my ready talk    23 , so I have to tell you  24 I know .”
In her speech she told us, “We don’t stop playing as we are old, we grow old because we stop playing. The secret of staying  25 , being happy and getting success is that we should laugh and find something  26 every day. I think there is a great  27 between growing old and growing up. I am seventy now. If I  28 in bed for one full year and never do anything. I’ll become seventy – one. Since anybody can grow older, my idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. Growing older can’t be avoided(避免的), growing up can be  29 . It’s never too late to be all you can be possible.”
During the four years’ study, it was so easy for Susan to make friends  30 she went. In the end, the wonderful woman got a college degree.
