15．When Charles Lee handed me the small red notebook in 1974，he changed my life．"While travelling，you should keep notes on the things you see and do．（16）D，you will forget them some day，"he explained．I was staying in his house when travelling in England．
I took his（17）C．I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay and back to university．I recorded weekend trips，my professors and ideas about my life and future．
When I wrote，I wondered about my（18）B and purpose．Who would read this？Was I recording events and ideas just as a reminder to memory，or was there some larger purpose for this（19）A exercise？
I got a big picture for the task．I was recording events，thoughts，words that were（20）B to my life．I（21）A a future me sitting down to read the pages．I wondered what it would feel like to read those words later．
I filled the notebook Charles gave me．I bought a new one and（22）B it．Then another and another．

One（18）Aday in July，she sent George to the woods．He was to stay there all day to get as much wood as he could．He worked very hard so that by the time the sun was high，he was hot，and wished for a（19）Aplace where he might read for a while and eat his dinner．
While he hunted around the bank of the stream，he saw among the moss（苔藓）some fine wild（20）B，which were a bright red with ripeness（成熟）．
"How good these will be with my bread and butter!"thought George．Lining（垫在…里）his little cap with（21）B，he set to work eagerly（急切地）to gather all he could find．He felt happy and thought how much his mother would like to see him there，and to be there herself instead of in her dark（22）D．
