　　About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.
　　He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH…!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?”
　　“Please, mister, please… I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop!” tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. “It’s my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled of the curb(路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”
　　Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
　　It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE-a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which, 　 31　 , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something 　32　 in the company should ever do.

I wish I　 33　 give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow — 　 34　 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m 　 35　 , experienced and I know better.

　　 36　 I work with some very kind and compassionate(富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to　 37　 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 　 38　 they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ 　 39　 ” person here.

One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 　 40　 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely 　 41　 about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would　 42　 to such an extremely embarrassing incident.

As I expected , Lois didn’t pass over the　 43　 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly,　 44　 with empathetic consideration. She listened to my　 45　 . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)　 46　 .

“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to 　 47　 that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s　 48　 . It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her　 49　 to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”

I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those　 50　 words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

Like a]l little children, my seven-year-old daughter gets scared sometimes when she is trying to go to sleep．If the wind is howling, her 　 36　 can begin working overtime and she may see a (n) 　37 in the shadows laughing in the wind.

This past Monday was one such night. 　38 after I put her to bed, she came into my room crying that she was scared. She said she 　39 the sound of a bad guy laughing and she was extremely afraid that 　40 was going to get all of us. Her tears 　41 my heart, and I held my daughter in my arms and assured her that nothing would happen to her. I walked her back into her room and 　42 down beside her to continue to assure her that I would keep her safe.

“Yes, I know you will always 　43 me, Daddy, but what about when you go to sleep?” she asked.

“Sweetheart,” I comforted her, “there are great angels all around this house, and they 　44 sleep. They are here just to safeguard us. They can 　45 any bad guy from getting in here.”

“ 46 , Daddy, what about when the angels miss? I mean like when kids are kidnapped (绑架)or robbers 　47 people’s houses – what about those 　48 ?”

Her question struck m e – when did I start 　49 questions like this? When did I begin not to consider the most obvious problems of our 　50 ? I mean, I 　51 problems every day but I am still very surprised by this 　52 question.

I considered her question and realized there is no perfect 　53 . And I drew my 　54 and simply sated, “I don’t know, sweetheart.” I held her a little 　55 , and I went back to my original answer, “I am with you.”

By the time the train 　15 into Kings Cross station four hours later, many of the characters and the early stages of the plot were fully 　16 in her head. The story took further shape as she continued working on it in 　17 and cafes over her lunch hours.

After her marriage to a Portuguese TV journalist ended in divorce, Rowling returned to Britain with her infant daughter and a suitcase full of Harry Potter notes and 　18 . She settled in Edinburgh to be near her sister and 　19 to finish the book before looking for a teaching job. Wheeling her daughter’s carriage around the city to escape their 　20 , cold apartment, she would duck into coffee shops to write when the baby fell asleep. In this way she finished the book and started sending it to publishers.
