A man, now old, went overseas 40 years ago. On his     31     ( depart ), the girl he loved gave him as a souvenir a heart-shaped knot made of knitting wool. He     32    ( hang ) it on his belt ever since.
Several years later he got married and had children. As time went by his sweetheart’s     __33___ ( look ) became dimmer and dimmer like a landscape picture    34    ( fade ) away gradually, and his homeland only appeared in his dreams. In the evening of his life he often looked at the knot and sighed.
One day his grandson caught sight of the knot and insisted on getting hold of it as a toy. The boy fondled ( 抚弄 ) and tried to unfold it. At last he did    35     trick and got it loose and open.
When i t      36      ( spread ) out it resumed ( 重获 ) its form as a long thread, a very simple wool thread.      37    by the skillful hands of a beloved girl could the thread be knitted into such a complicated knot. Devoted love made so many simple things complex in the world.
Thus the old man was awoken to get a truth. Most of the grievances ( 抱怨 ), bitterness and hatred in life actually result from very small matters.      38     one is mindful of them, they become mental knots. But if one sees     39     the knot, it remains a simple thread or line, no matter     40     shape it assumes.
