第二节：完形填空

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list 　36　 　in our past that we felt 　37　 　of, regretted, or felt uncompleted about and read our lists aloud.

This seemed like a very 　38　 　process, but there’s always some 　39　 　learners in the crowd who will do so. The instructor then 　40　 　that we find ways to 　41　 　people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 　42　 　my communication.

A few weeks later, the man next to me told this story:“After making my 　43　 　, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff 　44　 　of us kids liked. One night, my town buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a 　45　 　on him. After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is an s.o.b. The next day almost all the town people saw our glorious 　46　 　. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 　47　 　found out.

“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 　48　 　on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still 　49　 . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was Sheriff Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few 　50 　I heard ‘hello?’ I said , ‘Sheriff Brown?’ paused. ‘Well, this is Jimmy Calkins. And I want you to know that I did it. ’ Paused. ‘I knew it!’ he said. We had a good laugh and a 　51　 　discussion. His closing words were :‘Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 　52　 　your buddies got it off their chest, but you were 　53　 　it around all these years. I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.’”.

Jimmy inspired me to 　54　 　all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to 　55　 　the past wrongdoings.
