We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Eric in a high chair and noticed everyone was quietly eating and talking. Suddenly, Eric screamed with 36 and said, “Hi there.” His fat baby hands hit the high chair tray, and his eyes were wide with excitement.

I looked around and saw the 37 of his enjoyment. It was an old man with a worn and oily coat. And his hair was uncombed and unwashed. I was sure he  38 . His hand waved. “Hi there, baby; I see ya,” the man said to Eric.

My husband and I 39  looks. Eric continued to laugh and answer, “Hi, there.” Everyone in the restaurant noticed this. My husband and I were embarrassed.

We finally got through the meal and  40   the door. My husband went to pay the check and told me to meet him in the parking lot. The old man sat between me and the door. “Lord, just let me out of here before he speaks to me or Eric,” I prayed. As I drew closer to the man, I turned my back trying to sidestep him and avoid any air he might be 41 . As I did so, Eric leaned over my arm, reaching with both arms in a baby's “pick-me-up” position. Before I could stop him, he had  42 himself to the man's arms.Eric, in an act of total 43 , and love, laid his tiny head upon the man's torn shoulder.

His  44  hands full of dirt, pain and hard labor gently, so gently, cradled my baby's waist and patted his back. I stood amazed. After a while, he pushed Eric from his chest 45 as though he were in pain, saying “God bless you, ma'am. You've given me the best Christmas gift.”

I had just witnessed a genuine (pure or true) love shown through the innocence of a tiny child who saw no sin, who made no 46 . The ragged old man, unknowingly, had reminded me that a genuine love is one in which the true meaning of love is 47 .

Until a century ago, bloodletting was used to treat many ailments. Dating back to before the time of Christ, the treatment involved letting a type of worm, called a leech, such blood from the patient. People believed that there were liquids called humors in the body and that these determined a person’s personality and heath. Bloodletting, they thought, restored a balance to these humors.
At the time, little was known of the working of the human body, but people did know that the same liquid, blood, flowed throughout everyone’s body. They knew it was a vital substance, for loss of any great amount of it meant certain death. Thus, they concluded that all diseases were carried in the bloodstream, and that if the body was relieved of bad blood, heath would return. Bloodletting, however, came to be used as a cure-all. Woman were bled to keep them from blushing while members of the clergy were bled to prevent them from thinking sinful and worldly thoughts.
From the 11th to the 18th centuries, barbers were the people to go to if you needed to be bled. This custom explains the significance of the traditional barber’s pole: the white stripes stand for bandages and the red stripe for blood.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
     Today before you think of saying an unkind word, think of someone who can't speak. Before
you complain about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat. Before you
complain about your husband or wife, think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.
     Today before complain about life, think of someone who went too early to heaven. Before you
complain about your children, think of someone who desires children but they're unable to be pregnant. 
 Before you argue about your dirty house or someone didn't clean or sweep, think of the people who
are living in the streets. Before whining about the distance you drive, think of someone who walks the
same distance with their feet.
     And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of the unemployed, the disabled and
those who wished they had your job. But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another, remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one maker. And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down, put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive
and still around.
     Life is a gift. Love it. Enjoy it. Celebrate it. And fulfill it and most of all love it!
