My brother,Mark,died in a traffic accident four years ago. He was my big brother and    36   looked after me. I am    37   today for all of the special times we had as running partners,and times    38   driving to different races,where we had so many    39   about life in general. I    40   these talks terribly at this time of the year.
   41  ,I am so happy he shared with me the    42   of his faith. He was always so    43   to people,and I had been with him many times    44  we pulled over to help someone in need,   45   a smile and helping them get back on the road. So I was not    46   when he told me of the time when he was    47    in college. It was the end of the month. To make matters worse,it was Friday and he had no    48   in his pocket for the weekend. Payday was Monday and he had no gas money to get home to    49   my dad and no money to buy food but he had faith that helping others    50   helping yourself.
On his way home from classes that day,as he was driving along,he noticed a guy ahead of him    51   his lumber (木材) all over the road as he turned the corner. Mark    52   right over and helped him load the lumber back into his truck. The guy was so thankful and    53   his hand to Mark,and in it was one hundred dollars. Mark couldn’t believe his    54  . He told him that was unnecessary but the man     55   and off he drove.
I still think of Mark sitting there telling me that story, with tears in his eyes, and how faithful he was.

When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father work outside in the winter without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping some wood --- his coat thrown  aside--- wearing a shirt , a cap, and a pair of gloves.
“Aren’t you cold, Dad?” I’d ask. “No,” Dad would reply. “I’m not cold--- working too hard to be cold.”
Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.
One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—and bitterly cold.
After we’d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.
“Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said.
“Yeah, it’s cold out here today,” he replied.
“Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.”
Now, I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, “How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.
But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.
Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. “Aren’t you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I’m not cold—working too hard to be cold.”
I hope my husband has decided I’m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish.
Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky—I’m sure he can’t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I’m working outside in the winter.

I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma. I remember tearing across town  31      my bike to visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb: “There is no Santa Claus.” she laughed. “Even dummies(傻瓜) know that!” I   32      (flee) to Grandma   33      I knew she would be straight with me. She always told the truth.

“No Santa Claus?” she said. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe   34     . Put on your coat, and let’s go.” “Go where, Grandma?” I asked.

As we walked through the doors of the general store Grandma handed me ten dollars and said, “Buy something for someone   35      needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.”

I was only eight years old. Never had I shopped for anything all by myself. For a few moments I just stood there,   36      (wonder) what to buy, and who to buy it   37    . I thought of everybody I knew. Then I thought about Bobbie Decker.

He was my classmate with bad breath and   38     (mess) hair, and he sat right behind me. He didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out to play games during the winter. I held   39      bill with growing   40     (excite). I would buy Bobbie a coat.
