In the fifteenth century in Nuremberg ,lived a family with eighteen children .They were so poor that two children ,who wanted to pursue their talent for 41 , knew their father would never be 42 able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
So they tossed(掷)a coin. Albrecht Durer, the younger, 43 the toss and went off to Nuremberg .Albert went down into the dangerous 44 and ,for the next four years ,financed his brother , who did so well that his works were even better than those of most of his 45 . By the time he graduated ,he was beginning to earn 46 fees by drawing for wealthy people.
When Albrecht returned home, at dinner he drank a 47 to his beloved brother for the years of 48 that had enabled him to fulfill his 49 . He said, "Albert ,my blessed brother ,now it is your 50 to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream ,and I will take care of you."
With tears in his eyes ,Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, "No ,brother. I cannot go . Look... look what four years in the mines have done to my 51 ! The bones in every finger have been 52 at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis(关节炎)so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a 53 to return your toast ,much less make delicate lines with a pen or a brush. No ,brother... for me it is too 54 ."
Deeply moved ,Albrecht painstakingly drew his brother's 55 hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward .He called his powerful drawing 56 "Hands" , to which the entire world immediately opened their hearts and later they 57 it "The Praying Hands."

It seems as if cell phone could be the protection that parents expecting the kids to have freedom and be safe have been looking for. Let's 41 your 11-year-old son is going on a long bike ride with a friend, so they take along your cell phone 42 they need help. Not only could they call you if necessary, but 43 Global Positioning Systems (GPS) equipped on many mobile phones today, your son and his friend could also be 44 easily. Plus, with an additional service, you could track the boys' 45 location. Or consider this: If your daughter is 46 herself and three friends to a concert, she could 47 out exactly how to locate the concert location and get back home by using her equipped cell phone.And through a(n) 48 software package,you could 49 her whereabouts (行踪).
