I once had a teacher whose husband died suddenly of heart attack.About a week after his death,she__1__some of her thoughts with a classroom of students.As the late afternoon sunlight shone__2__the
classroom windows,and when the class was nearly over,she__3__a few things aside on the edge of her
desk and sat down.
With a__4__look on her face,she paused and said,"__5__class is over,I"d like to share with all of you
a deep__6__which I feel is very important.Each of us is put here on__7__to learn,share,love,appreciate
and give of ourselves.__8__of us knows when this fantastic experience will__9__.It can be taken away
at any moment.Perhaps this is the God"s__10__of telling us that we must make the__11__of every single
day."
Her eyes were beginning to__12__,but she went on,"So I would like you all to make me a__13__:
From now on,on your way to school,or on your way home,find something beautiful to__14__.It doesn"t
have to be something you see.It could be a__15__of freshly baked bread floating out of someone"s house,
or it could be the sound of the soft__16__rustling (使发出沙沙声) the leaves in the trees...Please look
for these things,and__17__them,for at anytime they can all be taken away..."
The class was completely__18__.We all picked up our books and went out of the room silently.That__19
__,I observed many more beautiful things on my way home from school than usual.
Remember:Life is not__20__by the number of breaths we take,but by the moments that take our
breath away.
