Last Saturday，I wanted very much to see a film |
|
together with my brother after supper. On my way | 61. |
to the cinema，we happen to meet an American | 62. |
named Peter，who had lost his way，looked worried. | 63. |
When he told us that he wasn’t able to find | 64. |
the hotel，we decided take him there. When we went | 65. |
to the hotel，we told of Peter the great changes | 66. |
that had taken place in our country in the past few year， | 67. |
and he told us a lot of things about the youths in the |
|
Although my brother and I missed a interesting | 68. |
film，we felt very happily，for we had not only helped | 69. |
Peter out of trouble and also learnt something from him. | 70. |
As a child，there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm. 26 by miles of winding stone walls，the house provided endless hours of 27 for a city kid.
I can still remember one afternoon 28 I was eight years old. I’d wanted more than anything to be 29 to climb the walls surrounding the property. The walls were old；some stones were 30 ，others loose. Still，my yearning（向往）to scramble（攀登）across those walls 31 so strong that finally，one spring afternoon，I took all my 32 and entered the living room，where the 33 had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I，I want to climb the stone walls，”I said hesitantly（犹豫地）. 34 a chorus(异口同声) went up from the women in the room. “Heavens，no！”they cried，“You’ll hurt yourself！”I wasn’t too 35 ；the 36 was just as I’d expected. Just 37 I would leave the room，I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now wait a minute. ”I heard him say，“Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things 38 ” .
For the next two hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life. Later I told my grandfather about my 39 . I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred，”he said，smiling，“you made this day a (an) 40 day just by being yourself. Always remember，there’s only one person in this whole world like you，and I like you 41 as you are. ”
Many years have passed 42 then，and today I’m a computer（主持人）in the television program 43 “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”，seen by millions of children.
There have been 44 over the years，but one thing remains the same：my 45 left to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you，”The kids can hear me say，“and people would like you exactly as you are. ”
