A couple of years ago, I went to a lady’s house to buy some medicine. Upon entering the house, I  36 that there was a piano in the living room beside the wall.Being a piano music lover and player, I asked if the woman played. She said “Yes” and   37 that she had been taking lessons—at the age of 54!
“I have been  38 for 8 years now.” I said, after hearing her words.
“Then you must play a song for me before you leave,” she requested(请求).
I thought she was kidding and I  39 smiled. When I had bought the medicine, she asked me to play some music. I thought for a moment and 40  to play David Lanz’s Return to the Heart,   41 she had so much passion(热情)for and interest in music, and it’s one of my favourite songs.
I played the song to the best of my ability(能力), putting as much emotion into it as possible. She  42 it. As I was about to step out of the door, I heard a weak voice calling, “Young man!”
I  43 , and saw an old lady taking one little step at a time with the help of another woman. “I wanted to come out to thank you for the  44 song that you played. I have been very sick, and it’s very hard for me to get out of bed, but I really wanted to thank you for the song. It made me feel good.” she said. With that, she turned around and walked slowly back to her room.
I was deeply touched by her  45  and felt a deeper understanding for the song. It was  46 to its name, returning to one’s heart to  47 and joy.

Dear Victor,
I am a college student. Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students. Some of my roommates are very interested in them. They not only play games in their free time, but also keep talking about them at night when lights are off, and they regard games as a part of their life. I’ve asked them to give it up, but they wouldn’t listen to me. It has become a rather big problem. Should I report it to our teachers or do something else?
Ted
Dear Ted,
Drop it. Your roommates, as grown—ups, can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn’t break school rules or violate(妨碍)other people’s interests.
Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation from hard study. If they play too often and have little time to study, they will reap what they have sown(自食其果), but you will not. Reporting to the teachers would only harm your good name in your dormitory(宿舍). However, you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep. If they aren’t angry with you, they will stop talking. But be polite and friendly. Perhaps, in return, join them in a game or two.
