Ten minutes later I was walking into the 32 where I work.. “Twenty-five past nine. I 33 the manager doesn’t notice.” But I was not 34 .
“Smith!” shouted the manager. “Late again. What’s your 35 this time?” “I am afraid the bus was late, Mr. Brown.” “ 36 up earlier tomorrow! Anyway, go to your place at the counter(柜台). We’ll be opening in a few minutes.”
My first customer was a pretty girl wearing a red dress. 37 her was a young man of about 25. He seemed very 38 , and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance. The girl drew(提取) some money and 39 about opening an account. I gave her necessary 40 and she went out. 41 , I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something 42 with brown paper.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I 31 teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I 32 the same things thousand and one times, do not 33 me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 34 you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a 35 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I 36 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my 37 little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you 38 to do so many things: to eat food, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the 39 of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 40 to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well 41 I need to and when not. When my 42 legs do not allow me to walk, give me your 43 , the same way I did when you gave your first 44 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 45 any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get ___46__. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the 47 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me 48 you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 49 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 50 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son
Your father

For the person keeping a journal, whatever he experiences and wants to hold he can write down. But to get it down on paper begins another adventure. For he has to focus on what he has experienced, and to be able to say what, in fact, the experience is. What of it is new? What of it is remarkable because of associations in the memory it stirs up? It is a good or bad thing to have happened? And why, specifically? The questions multiply (增多) themselves quickly. As one tries to find the words that best represent this discovery, the experience becomes even clearer in its shape and meaning.
Beyond the value of the journal as record, there is the value of the discipline it teaches. The journalist begins to pay closer attention to what happened to and around himself. He develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the usefulness of languages as a means of representing what he sees, and gains skill and certainty in the expression of his experiences. To have given up one’s experience to words is to have begun marking out the limits and potential of its meaning. In the journal that meaning is developed and clarified (澄清、阐明) to oneself. When the intention of the development of that meaning is the consideration of another reader, the method of the journal redirects itself and it becomes the essay.

As the sound of footsteps behind her grew louder, she quickened her pace. She didn’t want to turn around as the memory of that morning’s newspaper headline made her afraid of what she would see: “City Killer Claims Fourth Victim.”
“Why did I stop for a few drinks in the bar after work?” she thought to herself. Now it was dark and the streets deserted. She was alone and a sitting duck.
She felt as if she was walking in the rain. Her clothes were damp from nervous sweat and as each short hot breath hit the night air, it turned to steam, coating her glasses in a thin film so all she saw seemed covered in fog.
The footsteps were closer now. She needed to get off this street. Her eyes began a useless search for an open store or lighted window. Passing a small lane she looked through,for a possible escape route. But the lane was a dead - end and she laughed to herself at the irony.
The sound of a car behind her turning onto the street interrupted her self – pity. Escape was at hand. But as she was about to throw herself onto the road and shout for the car to stop, the car’s headlights cast a shadow that paralyzed (使瘫痪) her with terror.
It was the footsteps’ owner. The figure was huge and in its raised arm it held what looked like a lead-pipe, no doubt the one that was about to claim victim number five.
The shadow dissolved as the car passed by and disappeared into the distance. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was all happening as if in slow – motion. She was waiting for her life to flash before her eyes like all those novels said it would – but it didn’t. The only thing she thought of was her dear husband. She recalled phoning him from work that very afternoon and joking about, of all things, the city killer. It was a night full of ironies.
There was a voice talking to her now but she was lost in thoughts of her fate and didn’t respond. The hand then began turning her around. It was surprisingly gentle given what was about to come. She allowed it to guide her without resistance. (抵抗;反抗)
She looked up. She recognized the face, but she didn’t know from where. Its mouth was still talking to her but she couldn’t understand. Then she remembered. The face belonged to the foreign looking man who had served her at the bar. She looked down to his hand and saw in it not a lead – pipe but a rolled up copy of a work report she had been correcting in the bar as she drank.
His words suddenly started to register in her brain and she could hear him. “Miss, Miss. Are you OK? You left this in the bar and it looked important so I thought I’d better give it to you.”
