Introduction to Letters to Sam
Dear Reader,
Please allow me to tell you something before you read this book. When my 36 , Sam, was
born, my heart was filled with joy. I had been sitting in a wheelchair for 20 years before then, and
I have been 37 ill many times. So I wondered if I would have the 38 to tell Sam what I had 39 .
For years I have been hosting a program on the 40 and writing articles for a magazine. Being
41 to move freely, I have learned to sit still and keep my heart 42 , exchanging thoughts with
thousands of listeners and 43 . So when Sam was born, I 44 to tell him about school and
friendship, romance and work, love and everything else. That’s how I started to write these 45 . I
hope that Sam would 46 them sooner or later.
However, that expectation 47 when Sam showed signs of autism (自闭症) at the age of two.
He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs. He 48 to communicate with
others, even the family members. That was 49 for me but didn’t stop me writing on. I realized
that I had even 50 now to tell him. I wanted him to 51 what it means to be “different” from
others, and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’ll 52 as I myself, his grandfather, did. I
just 53 if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.
Now, 54 the book has been published, I have been given the chance. Every chapter in the
book is a letter to Sam: some about my life, and all about what it means to be a 55 .

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of __20__， like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty

__49__ elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.
There was a noticeable touch of __50__ in the way he seemed to be doing things— __51__
the windscreen(挡风玻璃)，then standing back to admire it; scrubbing(擦净) the wheels and
__52__， standing back to see what they looked like after the scrub.
It was a __53__ to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a __54__ if one has good
health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt __55__ of myself. Young as I am—just
sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun
appeared above the horizon.

that the __31__ society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would

__39__ long distances in a fairly short time. But how __40___ did I really go?
Since I hated to be __41__， I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to __42__ an
odometer ( 里程表) on my bicycle. He agreed, but __43__ ， “ An odometer without a
speedometer (速度计) is like a __44__ without a knife.” I admitted he was right and in a few
minutes, the two devices (装置) were __45__ to the handlebars of my bicycle. “What about a
horn？” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many __46__.”
Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.
“You can't leave the back part __47__” noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with
buttons __48__ the seat, and said, “Is there anything better than this oven when you feel __49__
on your way? I can give you a special discount, ” I was not strong enough to __50__ the offer.
“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done.” said Mr. Johnson

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I'm left __36__.Why do these
people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other __37__？
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s，__38__ children from different races
and religions played and studied __39__ in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone's

The driver acknowledged my __48__ but did not move off. Instead, he looked __49__ at

__50__ addressed(称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two __51__ we still recognized
each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something __52__ to describe.
If we can allow our children to be __53__ without prejudice, they'll build friendships with
people, regardless of race or religion, who will be __54__ their side through thick and thin. On
such friendships are societies built and __55__ we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once

A Leap（跳跃）to Honor

Leaping on a narrow balance beam（平衡木） is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-
old gymnast, is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills, Lola 36 for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships
in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive. 37 she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her
eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t 38 how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom 39 that even though she couldn’t see 40 , she was fearless. So
her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the 41 right away and
gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more 42 for her than for some of her tournaments, she
has never quit. She doesn’t let her 43 stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest 44 is the balance beam. Because
she has double vision, she often sees to beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during
her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to 45 your mind that it’ll take you
where you want to go.” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most 46 for anyone
because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall 47 the beam. In fact, she
got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be 48 differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the
judges don’t know about her vision 49 . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they
need to know. Her mom is amazed by her 50 attitude.
Lola never thinks about 51 . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in
gymnastics. Her 52 is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass
down what she’s learned to other kids 53 she grew up.
Lola is 54 of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her
life outside gymnastics, too. Her 55 for others is “just believe yourself”.

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage ( 按揭)，credit cards,
success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 36 chasing the same
thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 37 . I found myself homeless and alone.
I had my truck and $56. I 38 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 39 possible
amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road 40 the Potomac
River in West Virginia. It was 41 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it,
and 42 a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me, 43 slowly, they started teaching me the 44 of being a
neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 45 around to chat. They
started to teach me a belief in a 46 American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but
of 47 .

Four years later, I moved back into 51 . I saw many people were having a really hard time, 52
their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to 53 a handful of people. There are
four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other
places. We’d all be in 54 if we hadn’t banded together.
The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for
myself; it’s about 55 we can all get by together.

I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed.
I have started to think about other people 36 I think about myself. I am happy that I

daughter. Her real daughter never 49 her, so I took her place. She let me 50
that making others feel good make me feel good, too, when she died, I was 51 , but
I was very grateful to her.
I think I am a much 52 person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not 53

melody( 旋律) ，from the __51__fingers that once baited( 装饵于) my fishing lines. And
I__52__he had been doing what music teachers always stress：__53__the music and pretend the

“I'm __54__of him for starting something new at his age，” I said to my son Jeff.

It was a rainy morning and the children, mainly boys with various learning difficulties, refused to
settle for the start of the lesson. As an inexperienced teacher, I tried every means to get them to be
36 , but in vain. my panic was rising and I could feel my heart beating wildly. This was the 37
of my job as a music teacher, I thought -- teaching was not for me. Then I had an idea. Hoping that
no one would notice that I was 38 inside, I threw my voice as far as it would reach: "Put your
heads on the desks and close your 39 ! We are going on a journey."

my collection of CDs, I blindly 41 , put it in the machine and played it.

When the music started, the room as filled with the most beautiful tones and musical colors I
could have ever imagined. All the children were 43 . When the music finished, I asked them all
to raise their 44 slowly so that we could share our musical journey.
At this point, when all the children were willing to share their experiences, I began to learn
how to 45 . The music allow me to learn that teaching is about sharing and respect, tears and

Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device( 装置)on your
desk. And they’ve never actually 21 you. Everything they know about you 22 through this
device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away. 23 they feel they can know you 24 from the
sound of your voice. That’s how powerful the 25 is.
Powerful, yes, but not always 26 . For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani,
my faceless agent whom I’d never met 27 , got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, and
hotels. But her cold voice really 28 me. I sometimes wished to 29 another agent.
One morning, I had to 30 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani’s
office 31 . The woman sitting at the desk, 32 my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave
me a 33 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 34 immediately. “What
a wonderful lady!” I thought.
Rushing out 35 I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what’s your name?” “I’m Rani,” she
said. I turned around and saw a 36 woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe
trip. I was 37 ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 38 .
Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani’s 39 ---her warm smile,
her nods, her ‘I’m here for you’ 40 ---were all silent signals that didn’t travel through wires.

The Homeless Hero
For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source（来源）
of temptation（诱惑）. But the ___16___ would no doubt be greater if you were living on the
streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith
____17____ more remarkable.
After spotting a ___18___ on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he
stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the ____19____ to return.
After hours in the cold and wet, he ____20____ inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to
find some ID so he could contact（联系）the driver, only to ____21____ it contained £400 in
notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after ____22____ a note behind to let the
owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence
returned to the car—which was itself worth £35, 000—in Glasgow city centre, they were
____23____ to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith
did and that the wallet was ____24____.
The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his ____25____.
Mr. Anderson said：＂I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is
sleeping on the streets tonight ____26____ he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to
stay in. This guy has nothing and
____27____ he didn’t take the wallet for himself；he thought about others ____28____. It’s
unbelievable. It just proves there are ___29___ guys out there.＂

Mr. Smith’s act ____30____ much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social
media users after Mr. Anderson ____31____ about the act of kindness on Facebook.
Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to ____32____ money for Mr. Smith and
other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8,000. ＂I think the faith
that everyone has shown ____33____ him has touched him. People have been approaching him in
the street; he’s had job ____34____ and all sorts,＂ Mr. Anderson commented.
For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing ____35____. The story once again tells us that
one good turn deserves another.

was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus，which was now speeding in the dark to

some______16______station.
The____17____moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money
would it cost to replace the_____18_____of that little wallet？The credit cards，the driver's
license，the cash，all lost to the bus.
Two hours later，back at my house，I heard a knock on the door. My husband
_____19_____it while I was on the phone in the dining room. "Does Jennifer live here？" I heard
a lady say. In my husband's hand was my wallet，with not a penny_____20_____. She left before
I could ____21____ make it to the door to offer my thanks.
After sharing the story online，I heard from someone，who ____22____ the lady as Erin
Smith. Without ___23___ ，I called to thank her. She said she ____24____ my wallet on a bus
seat. She_____25_____that going to a stranger's house was a ____26____ move，but she decided
to take the chance. "If I were in that ____27____ I would want someone to try to find me，" she
said.
This one stranger responded beautifully to my small ____28____ ，but she actually wasn't
the only one. Right after Erin ____29____ my wallet on the bus，she posted a picture of my
driver's license to an online forum（论坛），trying to see ____30____ anyone knew me. No
sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son's
nursery and who recognized my face. I've never ____31____ words with those moms beyond
small tall，but they wanted to help. I read that people are more divided than ever，but that's not
how the people I_____32_____tend to act.

Baptiste Dubanchet is biking across Europe，surviving ___38___ on discarded(丢弃)food.
The three-month 1 900-mile journey from Paris to Warsaw is Dubanchet’s ___39___ of raising
第 37 页 / 共 41 页
awareness of food waste in Europe and throughout the world.
As you can ___40___, the trip is no piece of cake. While restaurants ___41___ tons of food
each year, much of it remains inaccessible because of ___42___ garbage containers, health
regulations, or business policies. Only about one in ten places ___43___ him food that would
otherwise be discarded.
For legal ___44___, most restaurants have a policy against ___45___ food waste. "Some
people have even ___46___ their jobs by giving me food," Dubanchet said.
What's ___47___ interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet’s cause.
Berlin has been the ___48___ while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen. There, he
had to ___49___ at some ___50___ different stores or restaurants before finding food. The 50 is
all the more serious when you consider the ___51___ exercise required to bike from France to
Poland.
"I have to get food ___52___ because after all the biking I am tired and I need the
___53___,"
Dubanchet explained. "Is my ___54___ full or empty? That is the most important thing, not
what I am eating."
He aims to ___55___ his journey by mid-July. With any luck, he’ll turn a few more heads in
the process.

Chris and Tim work at a zoo, helping endangered cranes with their ___38___. Emma, a
female crane, has been in their ___39___ since she arrived in 2004.
Born at an international crane foundation, Emma was ___40___ by human caretakers. This
led to an unexpected ___41___, though she had a wonderful time there. Emma had ___42___
taken herself as a crane and become deeply attached to humans. She ___43___ to live with male
cranes, and even had a ___44___ for killing some of them, which made it ___45___ for her to
become a mother.
___46___, the two zookeepers didn’t want to see the extinction(灭绝)of this precious species.
With their patience and efforts, they successfully developed a ___47___ of artificial breeding(人

The two keepers are proud of their productive work. But before they can be ___49___, more
efforts must be made, because the population of the crane in the wild is on the ___50___, and
many other species appear headed toward extinction. ___51___, not everyone has realized that
