I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye: Queen City Casket Company. “What is it?” I wondered. I 　1 it over. There, in faded ink, was a hand-scrawled (手寫的) 　2 . Immediately my mind traveled 　3 many years.

Back in his office, Mr Rader took out a 　15 , wrote something on it, and handed it to me. With 　16 eyes, I read, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” He said affectionately (深情地), “Jimmy, I want you to 　17 I love you.”

I said good-bye, and for the first time I 　18 a flicker of hope that somehow things would be 　19 . With people like Mr Rader in the world, there was hope, kindness and love, and that would always make a 　20 .
