One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家)in England, I brought David into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet.
David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But when he was 13 ,his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others form then on.
David didn’t say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder.“Come back next week if you like.” I said.
He came and I suggested(建议)we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than we agreed. It seemed that he liked to be with me.
Months later, when I was looking at his head, he suddenly looked up at me. “It’s your turn.” He said. After that day, David started started talking. He finally got friends in school and he even joined a bicycle club. Now he started his new life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I learned more from him. I learned that time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him.

We 38 there early in the morning and began to climb. Soon all of us felt tired 39 the stairs were really steep(陡峭的). An hour later, we stopped to have a rest. While we were having a rest, my mother changed her 40 and decided not to climb any more. I couldn’t decide whether to stay there or go on 41 with my father.“No matter how hard it is, I am 42 you can get there.” Said my father. So again we 43 the hard journey.
