The Turning Point
A handsome, middle aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat down. Before he  1 , he couldn't help but  2  a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was  3  they were making fun of something about him, and it wasn't until he remembered he was  4  a small pink ribbon on the lapel (翻领) of his suit that he became aware of what the  5 was all about.
The man  6  the reaction as ignorance, but the smirks (嬉笑) began to get to him. He looked one of the  7  men square in the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, "This?"
With that the men all began to laugh out loud. The man he  8  said, as he fought back  9 , "Hey, sorry man, but we were just commenting on how  10  your little ribbon looks against your blue jacket!"
The middle aged man  11  motioned for the joker to come over to his table, and invited him to sit down. As  12  as he was, the guy obliged, not really sure why. In a  13  voice, the middle aged man said, "I wear this ribbon to bring  14  about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother's  15 ."
"Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?"
"No, she didn't. She's alive and 16. But her breasts nourished (养育) me as an infant, and were a soft  17  place for my  18 when I was scared or  19  as a little boy. I'm very grateful for my mother's breasts, and her  20 ."
