While attending a conference, I returned to my motel room late one rainy evening. The overhead light outside my door was 16 and I had difficulty finding the keyhole. When I finally 17 to open the door, I 18 around the wall for a light switch. I found a 19 where a switch was once installed… but no switch.

No discouraged easily, I remembered seeing a 20 by the bed when I put away my luggage 21 in the day. I found the bed in the dark and felt around until I found the lamp, but when I switched it on, 22 happened! Now what?

Though I knew that it was dark outside my window 23 the outdoor light was burned out, I thought that 24 if I opened the curtains I might be able to use the light from the 25 to find another lamp. So I 26 my way slowly across the room to the curtains and… no draw-string!

I finally stumbled（跌跌撞撞） around until I found a desk lamp that actually 27! That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world can be and how necessary 28 is.

But even more necessary than 29 light is the light that shines from people----the light of love, sympathy and 30. Because, for many people, the world is a dark and 31 place.

It is the shining that is important, for someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or fear and in 32 of some light.

So let your light shine. Whatever light you 33 may be a beacon（灯塔） of hope and encouragement in someone’s darkness. And if you feel that your light is 34 a candle in a forest, remember this----there isn’t enough darkness in the world to 35 the light of one small candle.
