Question

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would   36    the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought   37  was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mummy." She said. "No, Many people are   38  . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first   39 , I had often thought over the question. So this time I told her, "Mummy, it must be our eyes." She looked at me and said, "You are   40   fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."   41  the years, mother asked me a couple more   42  and always her response to my answers was, "No, but you are getting   43   every year, my child." Then last year, my Grandpa   44 . Everybody was heart broken. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our   45   to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"

I was   46   when she was asking me this now. I always thought this was a   47   between her and me. She saw the   48  on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really   49  your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your   50  ." I asked, "Is it because they hold up your head?" she replied, "No, it is   51   on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough friends and   52   that you will have a shoulder to cry   53   when you need it." Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a   54   one. It is sympathetic（同情的）to the pain of    55__.
