　　When the dirty orange cat showed up in the prison yard, I was one of the first to go out there and pet it．I hadn't 　　1　　 a cat or a dog in over 20 years．It was an 　　2　　 bit of kindness to feel him under my hand and know that I was 　　3　　 the life of another creature with something as simple as my 　　4　　．I believe that caring for something or someone in need is what makes us human．

　　My Fellow Americans,

　　I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease(老年痴呆症)．

　　Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private(私人的)citizens we would 　　1　　 this a private matter or we would make this news known in a 　　2　　 way．

　　In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer 　　3　　 I had my cancer surgeries(外科手术)．We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to 　　4　　 public awareness(意识)．We were happy that 　　5　　 many more people went to have a test．They were treated in early stages and able to 　　6　　 to normal, healthy lives．

　　So now, we feel it is 　　7　　 to share it with you．In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater 　　8　　 of this condition．Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are 　　9　　 by it．

　　At the moment I feel just fine．I’d 　　10　　 to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have 　　11　　 done．I will continue to share 　　12　　 journey with my beloved Nancy and my family．I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch 　　13　　 my friends and supporters．

　　Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease 　　14　　, the family often suffers a lot．I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this 　　15　　 experience．When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will 　　16　　 it with faith and courage．

　　At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of 　　17　　 me to serve as your President．When the Lord calls me home, 　　18　　 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism　for its future．

　　I now begin this 　　19　　 that will lead me into the sunset of my life．I know that for America there will always be a bright 　　20　　 ahead．

　　Thank you my friends．May God always bless you．

Sincerely,

Ronald Reagan
