But at home a 23 story is told. Later that day, when I 24 supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very 25 . When I turned back, I 26 knocked her down. “Don’t be in my
27 !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart 28 . On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay 29 in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While 30 with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily 31 . Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 32 them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a 33 , and you never saw the 34 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt very 35 and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪下) by her
36 , “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the 37 .” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I 38 have shouted at you that way.”
She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you 39 .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”

I like Mr Trout, his values and what he believed in 36 a teacher. He wanted us to really __37 what we were doing. I respected that, but all the numbers were still so 38 to me. I studied endless hours, and it 39 at first, until the algebra(代数)was over. That was 40 I learned how to ask for help on something as silly as 41 problems.

It was amazing. I began to understand math. I did example 49 with him, worked them out several times until I understood the process. I didn’t feel 50 asking questions because it was helping.
Asking for help was not what I thought it would be. 51 , it was a very good thing. I actually felt smarter for it, and it was a really satisfying 52 . In fact, I plan on asking for help as 53 as possible. But I have found that I can still be 54 and ask for help when I need it. The only stupid question is the one you didn’t 55 .

More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very 31 , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for 32 , people would stare. I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted 33 . If he ever noticed or was 34 , he never showed that he knew.
It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his hesitant, mine 35 - and because of that, we didn’t say much 36 we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
Our 37 walk was to or from the subway, which was 38 he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would 39 it to the office even if others could not. A matter of 40 .
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or 41 . What he looked for 42 others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the 43 was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 44 by which to judge people, even though I 45 don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. 46 I know the times I don’t have one myself.

Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling 49 to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to 50 my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

It was the district track meeting, which we had been training for all seasons. My foot still hadn't healed from a(n) 36 injury. Actually I had hesitated whether or not to 37 the meet. But there I was, preparing for the 3,200-meter run.
"Ready... set..." The gun popped and off we were. The other girls ran ahead of me. I found myself limping(跛) and felt ashamed as I 38 farther and farther behind.
The first-place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. "Hooray!" the 39 shouted with the loudest cheer I had ever heard at a meeting.

When I finished, I heard a cheer-just as 44 as the one the first-place girl received "What was that all about?" I asked myself. I turned around and sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race. "They 45 be cheering for the boys."
I went 46 to the bathroom where a girl came across me and said, "Wow, you've got courage!"
I thought, "Courage? She must be 47 me for someone else. I just 48 a race! I would have never been able to finish those two miles 49 I were you. What happened to your foot? We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?"
I couldn't believe it. A(n) 50 stranger had cheered for me-not for my victory, but for my perseverance. Suddenly I 51 hope. I decided to stick with track next year. One girl saved my 52 .
That day I learned two things. First, a 53 kindness and confidence in people can make a great difference to them. Second, strength and courage aren't measured in the 54 and victories. They are measured in the struggles we 55 .

To be interested in these things is silly because they are not important. It is none of their 41 to know what their neighbours do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also harmful. Most probably, it may 42 to small talk which often brings harm, shame or disrespect to 43 , and thus 44 their feelings.

Columbus would never have found America if he had not been 46 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 47 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 48 a result of curiosity, 49 the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have 50 — or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.
