Question

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not  36 with life, I was down. A young boy out of breath  37 me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted(倾斜的) down,  38 with great excitement,“Look what I found!”

In his hand was a flower, and what a  39 sight, with is petals(花瓣) all worn—not enough rain, or too little light.  40 him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I  41 

a small smile and then shifted away. But instead of  42 he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with  43 ,“It surely smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I  44 it; here, it’s for you.”

The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew Imust  45___it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and  46 , “Just what I need.”But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he  47 it mid-air without reason. It was then that I  48

I heard my voice shake, tears shone like the sun  50 I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then ran off to play,  51 of the effect he’d had on my day.

I sat there and  52 how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged(放纵的)  53 ? Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true  54 .

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not connected with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see__55___, and appreciate every second that’s mine.
