In the middle of a beautiful day, I was feeling lost, as if the world was crashing on me. didn't know which way to go, except to head out to the countryside. I went to the spot where I used to take my kids-when I still had kids. Now they had      and were leaving.
I was sitting alone in my car when I saw a man in his seventies, whose problem appeared bigger than mine. He stood near the edge of the road,       a kite spindle(风筝线锭) in his hands. Apparently, lost in thought, he stared skyward. I       my neck to see how successful he had been in       the clouds. Following his string with my eyes, I almost lost      0f the other end. Finally, the kite rested on what seemed to be the highest branch of the        tree in the park.  Obviously,  that was his grandson's kite!  The kite was a replica (复制品) of a beautiful bald eagle, and its wings spread       0pen. Grandpa had only one      to his problem: cut the string.
"You wanted it to fly as high as it could. Bill. didn't you?" "Yes, Grandpa,        wanted to keep it forever. " "There just comes a time when the only thing you can do is to cut the string and let it go. Perhaps by doing that, when it flies very high like real eagles do, it will come back to us. " Grandpa said.
I     how the old man cut the string to let fly the kite. As the two walked away, looked to the       . There I saw my answer, too. Today I have to cut the final strings that kept my two boys       my reach. Though I want to keep them forever, I have taught them to fly like an eagle. Maybe by doing this, when it's time to soar like real eagles do. one day they would come back to me.

I’d meant to go to Miros that day. I’d packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat       in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn’t too strong for the two-hour        . I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost        of her, an old light-house partly blocked my view of the harbor. A dozen passengers were          their way there. I was about to join them --- when a man’s face          at the light-house window.
This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and         for thirty years. It was stranger still --- because I’d seen that        before. I couldn’t place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and        across. “I know we’ve met before, but I can’t remember where.”
I        him to open his if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass        motionless (静止). Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards,        the clouds. How well I’d known that face, sometime, somewhere!
I         again. “We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”
He didn’t reply nor give any         that he’d heard. I went back further, to        I was in the navy. “Perhaps we met at sea during the war,” and that thought at once         him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I’d saved his life once. But surely he …
The motor-boat        her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling      . Laughing, I called, “Now I’ve missed her, and it’s your        , Commander!”
As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded.        minute it was there. Looking up, I could see the whites of the eyes. The       minute it was gone.
Well, I didn’t rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or 1964. But there’s one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it    patience. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to    some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home   .
Joining a club or group, talking to those who like the same things     you do is much easier. Or join someone      some activity.
Many people are    when talking to new people.   all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown .And it’s human nature to feel a bit    about the unknown. Most of fears about       new people come from doubts about    .We imagine other people are    us——finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself      you are, and try to put the other at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confident even    you don’t feel that way when you    a room full of strangers. Walk tall and straight, look at other people directly and    .
If you see someone you’d like to    , say something. Don’t wait for      person to start a talk.
Just meeting someone      does not mean that you’ll make friends with that person.   is based on mutual(相互的) likings and “give and take”. It takes time to
  friendship.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I       teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I       the same things thousand and one times, do not       me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story       you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a      , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I      , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my       little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you       to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life….When at some moment I lose the memory or the       of conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I can not do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you       to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well       I need to and when not. When my       legs do not allow me to walk, give me your      , the same way I did when you gave your first      . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to       any more — that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,       my mistakes, I always wanted the       thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent (无奈) for seeing me       you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you       living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and      . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
Your father

A certain good woman one day said something that hurt her best friend of many years. She regretted it immediately and would have done anything to have taken the words back. So she went to an older, wiser woman in the village and       advice.
Listening to her, the older woman       the younger woman’s distress and knew she must help her. She also knew she could       ease her pain, but she could teach.
Then, she said. “There are       things you need to do. The first is extremely difficult. Tonight, take your best       pillows and open a small hole in each one. Then,       the sun rises, you must put a single feather on the doorstep of each house in town. When you are through,      to me. If you’ve done the first thing      , I’ll tell you the second.”
The young woman hurried home to prepare for her chore,       the pillows were very       to her and very expensive.
All night long, she went from doorstep to doorstep. Her fingers were      . The wind was so sharp that it caused her eyes to water, but she ran on through the       streets,       there was something she could do to put things       the way they once were. Finally she placed the last feather on the steps of the last house. Just as the sun rose, she returned to the older woman.
She was exhausted but       , thinking that her efforts would be rewarded.
“Now,” said the wise woman, “Go back and       your pillows. Then everything will be as it was before.”
The young woman was stunned, “You know that’s impossible! The wind       each feather as fast as I placed them on the doorsteps! You didn’t say I had to get them back! If this is the second      , then things will never be the same.” 
“That’s true,” said the older woman. “Never forget. Each of your words is like a feather in the wind. Once       , no amount of effort,       how heartfelt or sincere, can ever return them to your mouth. Choose your words well and guard them most of all in the presence of those you love.”

Joy in the journey
If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. For often, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to      . “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the     !” one of the brothers volunteered      .
The older boys began to     , telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was      . After a long silence, one of the        picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and many other kinds of insects. He      the lid and showed the wonderful      to the scoffing(嘲笑的)visitors. Then he said quietly and     , “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we have found      the way!”
Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is      a goal is for — to cause us to move in the      we have chosen, in other words, to keep us     ! But not every goal will be fully     . Not every job will end     . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be     . But when you fall      of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things      my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging      life is lived. And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly      .
