Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen…
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places； maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.

One day a young man called Jim was told to take the 21 examination the next day. He was 22 so much that he couldn’t get to sleep. He wouldn’t join the army because he was in love with a beautiful girl. “If only I could find a 23 to make the doctor believe there is something 24 with my body,” he thought and thought. Suddenly, a good idea crossed his mind.
The next morning Jim got to the 25 on time and was led into a large room. He hurriedly found a seat to sit down and took out an out-of-date newspaper, 26 to read it. Soon it was his turn to be examined. When he came up to the doctor, the old man took a quick and sharp look at him. Then in a 27 he ordered Jim to take off his clothes, go straight to a corner and sit down on a chair there. No sooner had he seated himself on the chair than he heard the doctor murmuring to his assistant: “Finished! The boy is 28 up to the standard.”
“How can you draw such a 29 like that before you give me a 30 check? Jim shouted at the doctor.
“Don’t be impetuous(冲动), young man! Put on your clothes, and then I’ll 31 it to you,” the doctor said 32 .“You said we didn’t examine you carefully, but I don’t think it
33 for us to do that. When I told you in a low voice to take off your clothes, you did it as I told you. It shows you have good 34 . When you were asked to go and sit on the chair, you did so, too. It shows you can see any subject within a certain distance. 35 , you were found reading the newspaper just now, and we are certain you are a man of intelligence.
36 , you’re perfect in mind and body.”
Half a year later, Jim was killed on the battlefield. At the news his girlfriend nearly went
37 . She kept weeping. “Don’t be like that, my dear.” It was an old man’s 38 voice. “Your Jim died a real man. He 39 his life to the people all over the world. It is right that we should be proud of him…” Saying this, the old man, her father, was choked(哽咽). His only 40 was that he had never had Jim know who he was. This old man was the medical officer who had given Jim the health check.
