　　“You will never walk again．You will have to use a wheelchair．” I heard his 　　1　　 fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul．If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then．

　　The car accident has left me unconscious．When 　　2　　, I found both legs in casts(石膏)．While I had other serious injuries, my 　　3　　 were my first concern．Working as a special needs teacher and busy and active by nature, I couldn't imagine being 　　4　　 in a wheelchair．

　　Lying in my bed, I wondered how I 　　5　　 give my ten-year-old son hope that mom would 　　6　　．He'd been cheerful on every visit, but I saw 　　7　　 in his eyes．He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever．Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach him what to do when misfortune 　　8　　．

　　It didn't take me long to become 　　9　　 with my limited movements and even with the pace the doctors were willing to go with me．I was determined to learn everything they showed me．

　　Every night in my private room, as soon as I knew I wouldn't be 　　10　　 or discovered, I would move myself from the bed to the floor, 　　11　　 on to the bed rail(床栏杆)for dear life, and slowly putting my weight 　　12　　 my feet．After several weeks of such difficult 　　13　　 , my strength and confidence continued to 　　14　　．

　　It came the time to share my accomplishments with the person most 　　15　　 to me．One night, when I heard my son greet the nurses at the station, I 　　16　　 myself up．As he opened the door, I took a few small steps．　　17　　, he could only watch as I turned and started back to bed．All of the pain, the fear, and the struggle 　　18　　 as I heard the words I had longed to hear, “Mommy, you can walk!”

　　I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick．I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends．My life has been blessed with many 　　19　　 of which I am proud．But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy 　　20　　 by those four little words of my son．

　　Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved．That person was my stepmother．

　　I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia．My father 　　1　　 me to her with these words：“I would like you to meet the fellow who is 　　2　　 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 　　3　　 than tomorrow morning．”

　　My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly 　　4　　, and looked me right in the eye．Then she looked at my father and 　　5　　, “You are wrong．This is not the worst boy at all, 　　6　　 the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet(释放的途径)for his enthusiasm．”

　　That statement began a(n)　　7　　 between us．No one had ever called me smart．My family and neighbors had built me up in my 　　8　　 as a bad boy．My stepmother changed all that．

　　She changed many things．She 　　9　　 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors．She moved our family into the county seat, where my father's career could be more 　　10　　 and my brothers and I could be better educated．

　　When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 　　11　　 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer．I knew her enthusiasm, I 　　12　　 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives．I accepted her 　　13　　 and began to write for local newspapers．I was doing the same kind of 　　14　　 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later．I wasn't the 　　15　　 beneficiary(受益者)．My father became the 　　16　　 man in town．My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president．

　　What power 　　17　　 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is 　　18　　 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的)force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 　　19　　．

　　You can communicate that power to 　　20　　 who needs it．This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm．

　　I was sure that I was to be killed．I became terribly nervous．I felt blindly in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had 　　1　　 the search of jailers(people who guard prisoners)．I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could 　　2　　 get it to my lips．But I had no matches, they had taken those．

　　I 　　3　　 through the bars at my jailer．He did not make eye contact with me．I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, 　　4　　 and came over to light my cigarette．As he came close and 　　5　　 the match, his eyes accidentally locked with mine．At that moment, I 　　6　　．I don't know why I did that．Perhaps it was 　　7　　, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very 　　8　　 not to smile．In any case, I smiled．In that instant, it was as though a 　　9　　 jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls．I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and 　　10　　 a smile on his lips, too．He lit my cigarette but stayed 　　11　　, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile．

　　I kept smiling at him, now 　　12　　 of him as a person and not just a jailer．“Do you have 　　13　　?” he asked．“Yes, here．” I took out my wallet and nervously felt for the 　　14　　 of my family．He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them．My eyes were 　　15　　 with tears．I said that I 　　16　　 that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up．　　17　　 came to his eyes, too．　　18　　, without another word, he 　　19　　 my cell and silently led me out．There, at the edge of town, he 　　20　　 me．And without another word, he turned back toward the town．

　　My life was saved by a smile．Yes, the smile－the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people．
