Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device on your desk. And they’ve never actually 1 you. Everything they know about you came through this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away. Yet they feel they can know you just from the sound of your voice. That’s how powerful the 2 is.
Powerful, yes, but not always 3 . For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I’d never met 4 , got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, and hotels. But her cold voice really 5 me. I sometimes wished to find another agent.
One morning, I had to 6 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani’s office 7 . The woman sitting at the desk, seeing my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a 8 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 9 immediately. ”What a wonderful lady!“ I thought.
Rushing out 10 I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what’s your name?” “I’m Rani,” she said. I turned around and saw a 11 woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was 12 ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 13 .
Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani’s 14 —her warm smile, her nods, her “I’m here for you” 15 —were all silent signals that didn’t travel through wires.

The Afrikaner culture that I grew up in has a delicious tradition-baking lots of different types of cookies at Christmas. We bake for days on end to fill our cookie tins, and prepare cookie baskets and boxes to 16 to friends and neighbors.
I have a friend from a different 17 background. She also loves cooking and baking. When she heard that I was planning a baking day, she was 18 She talked me into promising to teach her how to bake my Christmas cookies.
A week before Christmas, it was 19 baking day, We both envisioned (想象) the beautiful and tasty 20 that we would make for our families, friends and neighbors.
The baking got off to a slow but determined start. The techniques and skills that had used countless times were new to my friend. And some of them would be 21 to an experienced baker, let alone a first-timer. On my own, I’d have done it quickly and correctly. But by midday, I could feel my 22 rising. Teaching my friend had put us well behind 23 .
There was, of course, any easy solution I could 24 and just let her watch. But I had promised that I would teach her. So we decided to 25 the variety of cookies bake more of the simpler versions and get creative with the icing. At the end of the second day, we had 20 beautiful gift boxes, each displaying a mouth-watering selection of cookies.
My friend couldn’t wait to get home and share the 26 of her labors with her family. Seeing how proud she was, I was doubly 27 that l didn’t act on my thought to do everything myself just because it would be 28 . Not only would I have robbed her of an opportunity to 29 but I would have robbed her of that new-found 30 and the pride she felt at having achieved something new.

What do you think a former football player might do in retirement? 31 a school cafeteria employee probably won’t come to your mind.
Jared Veldheer was also a bit 32 when he found himself 33 the role. But when his two children’s school didn’t have anyone to 34 their kitchen just weeks before the start of the academic year, he found himself drawn to the position.
Standing at 6 feet, 8 inches, Veldheer certainly doesn’t 35 like your typical lunch server, but that isn’t the only thing beyond people’s expectations. 36 sticking with the usual meals, he was creative to make healthy yet delicious meals for the kids.
Because the school uses an online portal (门户网站) where parents 37 food about two weeks before the start of each month, Veldheer 38 the lunch menu a month in advance. When his first one went live, the students’ parents were 39 to find foods like braised (炖熟的) cabbage and mashed cauliflower on the list.
Creating meals that the students will love is no easy task, but Veldheer is 40 about doing everything he can. Veldheer isn’t 41 to ask the students for their 42 feedback. Despite having a few harsh (but adorable) critics, the 43 that Veldheer has developed with his students is absolutely heartwarming to witness.
“I’m smiling from ear to ear seeing this every day. The kids look straight up to him yet can feel so 44 and confident in asking him questions and trying different 45 ,” said the principal.

I seldom believe in luck, but I have really had a string of the bad kind lately. Last week my 15-year-old washing machine 46 . I tried to fix it online but 47 realized the repairs would cost more than a(n) 48 machine. Then this week my daughter’s broke, too. Once again, it was beyond any easy repair. I ended up having to 49 two new washing machines, putting a couple of big decreases in my credit cards. Both got 50 quickly but l was still annoyed about the 51 period I was going through.
Somehow my 52 traveled back to my childhood. I saw Mum’s hand loading an old fashioned wringer (绞拧器) washing machine with my dirt jeans and muddy shirts. She had to put each 53 through a pair of wringers. After the washing she would often pat the machine 54 — growing up hand washing clothes she was deeply 55 for the machine that did so much of the work for her.
I began to think about it. I have been blessed with so much more than Mum, yet I was 56 in the problems and 57 of modern life instead of thanking for all I have. I felt guilty and thanked for that 58 memory.
The good old days had their share of struggles as well as 59 . So do the good new days. What 60 is how we live and what we learn from them.

In the end, we got very lucky. While 113 for transport, we found out that the local doctor and other social workers were going to 114 some of these tribes and they let us join them.

Driving on the mountain road where I live can be both a delight and an adventure. Yet, you should also watch for deer and squirrels 121 the road as well as fallen trees and rocks that may break loose from and 122 down the side of the hill.
I 123 upon one big rock just the other day. I saw a car just ahead of me narrowly turn around it. But the stone was 124 there, which might cause traffic accidents. I turned round and then 125 over to a wide spot. I knew a rock of this 126 would break parts of a low riding car like mine if the driver didn’t see it 127 . So I walked over and moved the huge stone. It must have weighed 50 pounds, but with all my strength, I removed it. I felt relieved and walked back to my car.
The happening reminded me too of an old 128 I had read once: In a faraway land, a king had placed a huge rock on the way to his palace. Many nobles walked by and surrounded it, complaining that the king didn’t keep the road up better. Finally, a 129 farmer pulling a cart (马车) of vegetables arrived. He 130 and pushed the rock off the road. Then he saw under it was a bag of gold coins that the king had left for the one who 131 the path for those who came after. Later, he was not as badly off as before.
Now while there wasn’t any 132 under the rock I moved, my heart did feel more 133 as I was driving back home. Maybe the real 134 is the joy we spread, and the 135 we share.
