That’s 40 she started writing down things that she liked in a notebook. “It was like a friend, and it 41 me that there are good things, 42 everything around me is unpleasant,” she says. She copied the list over and over, 43 new things every day.
One day, she decided to 44 her list with some of the girls in her class, hoping they would think it was as much fun as she did. But 45 , they made her feel stupid again. “They laughed at me,” she remembers, “I was ashamed, and I 46 doing it.” Here comes the 47 part. When she was in 10th grade, Kipfer found her old notebook and decided to 48 where she left off. “It was like a diary, like a photograph of my life,” she says. She started writing to publishers, asking them if they’d be interested in printing her list as a book.
She kept writing to one company 49 , because she liked the types of books it printed. “He kept saying, ‘It’s just a list, what am I supposed to do with it?’” “You’re not 50 to do anything with it. It’s 51 supposed to remind people of something they did that was really 52 .”
Finally, the publisher 53 to turn Kipfer’s list into a book, which sold more than million copies! 14,000 Things to Be Happy About even 54 it to be New York Times Best Sellers list. 55 being a best-selling author, Kipfer also went to realize her dream of becoming a sports editor at the Chicago Tribune.

Sometimes I really doubt 36 there is love between my parents.Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.They don’t act in the romantic ways 37 I read in books or I see on TV.In their opinion, “I love you” is 38 luxurious for them to say.Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question.Finally my father has a bad temper.When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt.I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low 39
My mother stopped her work and 40 her head with surprise in her eyes.She didn’t answer immediately.Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 41 her.I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do. 42 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 43 , “Look at this thread.Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable.If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen 44 or anytime, but it’s really there. 45 is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her 46 the next spring.At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.It seemed both of them had had a 47 illness.
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.My father had 48 been so gentle.It seemed that they were the most harmonious couple.Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees.The sun gently glistened 49 the leaves.All of these 50 the most beautiful picture in the world.
The doctor had said my father would recover 51 two months.But after two months he still couldn’t walk 52 .All of us were worried about him.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.I like this kind of life.” 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love 54 flowers, gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.Love is inside, 55 life strong and warm..

I love spending weekends with my grandparents. I felt especially welcome and 36 in Grany’s small kitchen. It was there that we had conversations and Grany always seemed to include a bit of 37 with every recipe she prepared.
I remember one Saturday morning 38 . After breakfast I asked Grany, “What kind of soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered, “And you can help by chopping some carrots and celery.” As I slowly peeled carrots, I 39 , “I’ve got to give an oral work report next week and I’m 40 .”
Grany looked at me and said, “Most people are afraid of 41 speaking. But remember, the only thing you have to fear is fear 42 .”
“But I don’t like standing up in front of everybody. 43 I forget what I’m going to say?”
“Have you prepared 44 ?” asked Grany.
“Well, no. That would be a lot of 45 work.”
“But do you like my soup?” she asked. Soup? I wondered. I thought we were talking about my life.
“I love your soup, Grany.” I said.
“Well, you know, a lot of people don’t 46 homemade soup these days. They say it’s too much trouble. First you have to cook a nice broth(肉汤)and then chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces.”
“But I don’t 47 a little trouble,” she said. “It adds variety and flavor to my soup and to my life. My soup would be 48 bland(淡而无味的)without the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little 49 .”
After pausing she added, “Besides, you have to remember God knows exactly 50 he’s cooking up in your life. You’ve got to trust him with the recipe.” She smiled and then walked to the sink to start washing the dishes.
While I help Grany 51 , I thought as well what she had said. I still had a few days to 52 my oral report.
That Saturday, Grany gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. Every spoonful of Grany’s masterpiece was 53 with delicious bits of meat and vegetables. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents, 54 my problems didn’t seem quite so big any more. I was determined to work on them. Grany had said hard work 55 . Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grany’s homemade soup.tesoon

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的)time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 39 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 45 to me. Or what he might 46 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 48 never hearing him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 52 of was the stubble(短须)on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 55 .

Two hours later, your friend wakes you. You ask, “Why didn’t you wake me after one hour?” He 39 that he thought you asked him to wake you in two hours and that is what he said.
