It was a bitter, cold craning in evening Virginia years ago. An old man was waiting for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became stiff the cold wind.    
He heard the faint, steady   31  of approaching hooves (馬蹄) coming along the frozen path,   32 , he watched as several horsemen   33  the bend. He let the first one pass by, then another and another. Finally, the last rider neared the sport where the old man sat like a snow   34 . As this one drew near ,the old man   35 the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a   36  to the other side?” There appear to be passage way by foot." 
Reining his horse, the rider replied, “Sure. Hop aboard.” Seeing the old man was unable to   37  his half – frowned body from the ground, the horseman dismounted and helped the old man  onto the horse. The horse took the old man not just across the fiver ,but to his   38 .
As they neared the cottage, the horseman’   39 caused him to inquire ,"Sir ,I notice that you let several other riders   40 without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you   41 asked me for a ride. I'm curious. What if I had   42 and left you there?" 
The old man   43 himself slowly down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, "I’ve been around here for some time .I   44 I know people pretty good. The old – timer continued. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no   45 for my situation. It would have been   46 even to ask them for a ride. But when looked into your eyes, kindness and compassion were   47 . I knew, then and there, that your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me   48 my time of need.”
Those heartwarming comments   49 the horseman deeply.
“I'm most grateful for what you have said.” He told the old man .''May I have get too   50  in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion ."      
With that Thomas Jefferson turned his around and made his way back.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s   36 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so   37  that I decided to write an article about her.
I   38  Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk her career. She   39  and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I   40  I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday.

The   43  was almost unbearable. I struggled for days   44  draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript   45 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I   46  in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t   47  the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While   48  my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in   49 :
Dear Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some   50  materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to   51  your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to   52 . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of   53  writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this   54 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t   55  to doubt yourself.

Angels
My friend Heather mentioned that she had never seen an Angel. Then I remembered the 36  I had with my sister Sandra earlier this week.
This will be Sandra’s first Christmas without her husband. This summer he died in her arms. On Thursday, she was in the store 　37　 for an ideal card for her two sons and daughter. Time passed by quickly as she 　38  the many choices. She wanted a card that sent something special to each of them, 　39  she knew they would have a(n) 　40  place in their heart this holiday season.
Finally! She found the one that expressed the 　41 feeling. The words expressed the feelings that she wished to share. However, a sharp pain pierced(穿透) her heart when she realized that the card was 　42 “mom and dad.” She stood there, 　43  it close for a long time, unable to move from the 　44  . Tears began to run down her cheeks.
“Is there something I can do for you?” a 　45  voice asked. She 　46  to face a stranger, a woman, who was looking at her with 　47  and concern. “Uh…oh...OH!” Sandra responded, “I can’t give this card to my children because…because my husband died and this is the 　48  card.”
Hearing this, the stranger’s face softened with sympathy(同情) and love. She reached out and　49  my sister into her arms, giving her unspoken permission to cry in the protection of her embrace(擁抱). She 　50  held my sister until her calmness　51  . “Thank you for listening to me cry on,” was what my sister said when all was better. “You are welcome, and I am so sorry for your 　52 ,” the stranger answered and said goodbye to her.
During her telling of this event I was feeling 　53  that I hadn’t been there. My sister needed me and a stranger had to do my 　54  .  “You know,” she went on, “a friend suggested that it was like meeting with an Angel.” My 　55  disappeared in an instant. My sister required an Angel, and I think that is exactly what she got.

His arms were   38  , she noticed, and when the door opened she choked back the tears.
“Mommy has some cookies and milk for you,” she said.
But he hardly heard her words, he just   39   right on by, his face aglow(滿面紅光), and all he could say was, “Not a one. Not a one.”

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,  21  enough to be a father to most of the students in the room,   22   unconfident enough to be their baby brother. We were crowded elbow (肘部) to elbow, listening to a  23  who looked even younger than the students. I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully    24  what she expected us to learn. As I listened, I couldn't help but  25  of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her first year in    26  , 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   27  myself'? When I walked out of that classroom, I had serious    28   about my ability to make it   29  college. Not until late that night did my thinking   30    .It was a long-distance  31   from my daughter, my fellow college freshman, that did the trick. She spoke on the phone about the doubts, worries and anxieties she was   32 . She was certain that she'd never   33  at college. How   34   her worries sounded! In my most confident parental   35  , I said, “Doing your best is all the world   36  .” The next day in class, those words still repeated in my head.
