My mother often asked me, “What is the most important part of the body?”

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important us, so I said, “My , Mommy.”

She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But you thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

Then last year, my grandpa . Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mom looked at me when it was our time final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”

I was shocked she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion(迷惑) on my face and told me, “This is very important. It shows that you have understood your life.” I saw some tears(眼泪) in her eyes. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”

I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?”

She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they . Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and so that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”

Dear Amy,

I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I’m so sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering(康复). I’m surprised that in China someone’s liver(肝脏) matched(适合) yours! This is really a moving story—a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he doesn’t even know!

You’re right. We shouldn’t care too much about our weight. I’m happy you stopped taking medicine to lose weight. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep slim(苗条) is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor’s advice is really very good—exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.

It’s not only in your country. It’s the same here with us Chinese—many people are always taking medicine to lose weight. That is often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight(超重) at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.

Love

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to stand her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark(标记) the points(点) that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”

Many years has passed. The situation often appears(出现) in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!
