I’d been proud that I’d never lost my cellphone until my husband Jack got a call one evening.
We went to visit a friend in hospital last year. When Jack’s  36  rang, it was my mother calling from my  37 . She asked if I had  38  my mobile. I checked my purse. It was  39 !
I used Jack’s phone to call my number. Then a boy, whom I’ll call Rhys,  40  it. “I found your phone!” he said, excitedly. “I have been trying to find you, but  41  it was getting late, I decided to leave.” He gave me the address of a  42  near his home.
Later that evening, I went to  43  him there. I didn’t dare to go  44 , worrying this was some cheater. So Jack came along. After  45  10km, we got to the coffee shop which Rhys  46 .
My  47  were gone. Rhys was just a young boy. “How did you  48  my mum?” I asked. He  49  that when he found my mobile by the roadside, he started calling people in my list of contacts. But all they  50  was my mobile phone number—which didn’t    51 . He’d called many names, starting with the letter A. Finally he got Adam, one of my friends, who  52 my house.
I was  53  to get my phone back with all the contacts, messages and photos I could have lost for ever. I was so  54  to Rhys and offered him some money, but he  55 .
As we drove back, we praised Rhys for his honesty.

When I was 17，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’ll most certainly be right” It made a deep   1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years，I have  2 in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，  3 I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 4 ，I know I need to change something．
Remembering that I’ll be   5  soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 6 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death，  7 only what is truly important.
About a year ago I was  8 with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs  9 order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die．I  10 with that diagnosis all day．  11 ，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is  12 with surgery．I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
 13 wants to die．Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all  14 ．No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of   15 ．It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to   16  for the new．Right now the new is you．But someday not too  17  from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．Sorry to be so dramatic，but it is quite true.
Your time is  18 ，so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife．Don’t be  19 by dogma (教條) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking．Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner   20 ．And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart.

While getting ready for school today, my 16-year-old daughter came into my room to give me a big hug and kiss. I asked her, “What do you want?” She said, “36 Mum, you always tell us to have a good day 37  we leave the house, but I was 38 about who tells you to have a good day and lets you know how much you are 39.”
I am so 40 by the capacity of love and understanding that 41 my children. My 15-year-old son asked me last night if there was a(n) 42 for him to get a summer job this year in order to help us to pay our bills. 43, in our area, he must be 16.
44 of my children depend on me so much because I am a 45 parent, but just when I pay the 46 that I will not be able to provide for them, they come up with ways to 47. I completely understand that I will 48 have to find a way to pay the bills as I do not want my children to take up anything. But for now the 49 that they have stepped up and 50 to help without anyone asking touches me.
When my daughter was two, I remember rushing to get to 51, getting to the front door and asking her to 52 and come. Then she appeared at the door with a bag that she was holding open. I said, “We don’t have 53 for this.” She stopped me and said, “Fill it with love, Mum.” I 54 to my knees and hugged her and then kissed her. From then55 she would bring the bag and I would bring the love to the door before we left for school and work.

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other   36 , including her "sixth sense", that she rarely gives the impression she’s   37  anything.
Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us,   38  that she doesn’t push too hard on them,   39  really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, she moves around so fast that often   40  don’t realize she’s blind.
I   41  this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   42  about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was  43  excited about her finger-painting project."Mom, guess what?" said Kayla, all smiles. "I learned how to   44  colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle  45  with us.
To my great   46  , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, "Michelle told me my  47  showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really  48  what I was doing!" Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt   49  Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never   50  in conversation. When I told her, she was  51  for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. "But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!" Kayla   52 . And I knew my child was  53  because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla’s   54 in her work.
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, "You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my  55 ." Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
