All the World Asks
On my first day in a college classroom, I felt like an overgrown child returning to civilization after having been lost in the forest for thirty years. There I sat, 36 enough to be a father to most of the students in the room, 37 unconfident enough to be their baby brother. We were crowded elbow (肘部) to elbow, listening to a 38 who looked even younger than the students. I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully 39 what she expected us to learn.
As I listened, I couldn't help but 40 of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her first year in 41 , just like me. I remembered how hard I had tried to help build self-confidence in her and my other children. So why did I suddenly feel like a scared 42 myself'? When I walked out of that classroom, I had serious 43 about my ability to make it 44 college. Not until late that night did my thinking 45 . It was a long-distance 46 from my daughter, my fellow college freshman, that did the trick. She spoke on the phone about the doubts, worries and anxieties she was 47 . She was certain that she'd never 48 at college. How 49 her worries sounded!
In my most confident parental 50 , I said, “Doing your best is all the world 51 .” The next day in class, those words still repeated in my head. When the professor raised a 52 for the class, nobody, including me, 53 to answer. When I looked around at the 54 and uncertainty on the young faces in that room, I knew 55 what I had to do: my best. That's all the world asks. So I raised my hand, and the professor called my name. I spoke.

On rare 31 , some relatives would give me some money, but they would 32 in my ear not to tell my mother and to spend it quickly on something fun. Their 33 was good — they wanted to bring joy to the life of a “ 34 ”boy, but it didn’t teach me any 35 skills. Soon I would go back to having no money.
Another thing is that I believed that 36 help from others was bad. My parents were strict, and in many ways I 37 their philosophy (处事原则), but their personal beliefs prevented them from ever accepting any help. 38 we often had to live on a single part-time income, we never asked 39 anything.

All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the “outside” may affect what we 21.

Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, but it 37 an interesting approach to the problem.
