Mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is.Through the years I would ____a guess at what I thought was the correct____.When I was younger,I thought sound was very important to us as humans,____I said,“My ears,Mommy.” She said,“No,many people are ___.”
Since making my first attempt,I had considered the correct answer carefully.So several____later,I told her,“Mommy,____is very important to everybody,so it must be our___.”She looked at me and told me,“You are learning fast,but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”
Over the years,Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was____.Then last year,my grandpa died.Everybody was____.When it was our turn to say our final____to Grandpa,my Mom asked me,“Have you found the answer to my usual question—what is the most important body part____,my son?”
I was____when she asked me this now.I always thought this was a game between her and me.She saw the____on my face and told me,“This question is very important.It shows that you have really lived your life.For every part you gave me____,I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example____.But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson.” She looked down at me as only a mother can.I saw her eyes well up with tears.She said,“Son,the most important body part is your____.” I asked,“Is it because it holds up my head?”
She replied,“No,it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry.Everybody needs a shoulder to____on sometime in life,my son.I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you ____ it.”
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one—it is sympathetic to the___of others.People will forget what you said.People will forget what you did.But people will____forget how you made them feel.

I am a person who doesn’t like waiting. I don’t like to wait in line, being put on hold when making a phone call, or arriving at an apartment to find that my companion will be         . And of course, I don’t like waiting rooms.
      , I realize that my agony(痛苦) will not be good for me, as an         crowded world can only mean one thing – more waiting.
       this, I have taken an action and decide to turn my frustration to productive ends. In short, I am looking for what I call “waiting-in-line”        .

The more the world demands that I        , the more I learn from my waiting library. Look at the followings: One Hundred Things Every American Should Know; The Poetry of Robert Frost; Living Thoughts of Leading Thinkers; Still More Toasts. I have learned interesting and enriching things and much         from these books.
On a recent visit to the general store, I placed my order at the         along with six or seven people. The old female employee seemed to have her hands full as she rushed        . “Young man, just be        ,” she said to me.
No problem. I quietly opened my dictionary prose(散文) and poetical quotations. Perhaps the other customers         me as a bookish, lonely soul. But         did they realize that I was enjoying the         of Shakespeare, Thoreau, Homer and Ben Johnson.

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced in the meantime.A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can     swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still       away.A mother who has not      the words or years can teach her daughter the poem that begins " Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or        the story of Cinderella or Snow White .
One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:        we have learned something, additional learning increases the        of time we will remember it.In childhood, we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and        ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle.twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White.We not only learn but
      
The law of over learning explains why cramming (突擊學(xué)習(xí)) for an examination.      it may result in a passing grade, is not a        way to learn a school course.By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is       soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little over learning,       , is usually a good investment toward the future.
