完形填空。 During my second year of college, I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church, the

pastor (牧师) told me to stay in his daughter"s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.

To be 1 , I really didn"t want to stay with"the pastor"s family". He told me how much the 2 would

be-a very low figure that 3 one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the 4 and decided to move in.

At the end of the term I had planned to find 5 living place, since the daughter was to 6 home. To my

delight, they 7 that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their 8 -their people

became my people. I 9 accepted the offer.

As I emptied the daughter"s bedroom, I thought it might be 10 to have a little sister to look after. But

when I later met my new sister, I 11 that she was more independent than I first 12 .

We finally fell in love, 13 , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that

life turned out more 14 than either of us could have known. But we have al- ways been able to go 15

largely because we knew that we are deeply 16 .

It isn"t about marriage-lt"s about 17 . It"s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special

friends who are as 18 as family. It"s about anybody who can say, "I"ll be 19 - you can count on me. I"ll

try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.

Is there somebody you can depend on？ And are others count ing on you？ We travel the path of life best

when there is 20 to look after, and when someone is looking after us.
