As a saying goes, every bean has its black.It is impossible to make no mistakes all one"s life. My grandpa
Nybakken, a carpenter, is no 1 . Several decades ago he made a mistake-a(n) perfect mistake, 2 .
On a cold Saturday, Mother"s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his 3 was sending
to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Africa. On his way home, he 4 into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they
were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His 5 proved
fruitless.
When he 6 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his
pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 7
him $20 that very morning, were heading for Africa! He had to drive home 8 .
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather"s
church, 9 Grandpa and his family also attended.
"But most of all," he said, "I must thank you for the 10 you sent last year. You see, the bandits (土匪) had
just 11 through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate."
" 12 I had the money, there was simply no way of 13 those glasses. 14 not being able to see well, I
experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff 15 he covers, they found a pair of
glasses lying on top."
Then, still gripped (吸引注意) with the 16 of it all, he continued, "When I tried 17 the glasses, it was as
though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!"
The people listened, 18 for the miraculous glasses. But the director surely must have 19 their church with
another, they thought. There were no glasses on their 20 of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master
Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way. |

good friends. Curt was the best man (伴郎) at my wedding, and I was 3 a few years later when he married
my sister"s roommate. And yet the event that almost showed our partnership and 4 our friendship happened
over 25 years ago, when we were in our 20"s.
Curt and I were attending a pool party at the local Swim and Racquet Club. We were walking to the car,
joking about the party, and Curt 5 ne and said, "Steve, your ve had too much 6 . Maybe I should drive."

"Good idea." I said, and handed him the 9 .
After I was settled in the passenger seat and Curt sat behind the wheel, he said, "I"m going to need your 10
because I"m not sure how to get to your house from here." "No problem," I 11 .
Curt started the car and we were 12 . The next ten miles seemed like a hundred as I prompted (提示) Curt
with 13 -left now, right soon, slow down, speed up and so on. The important thing was that we got home 14
that night.
Ten years later at my wedding, Curt brought 15 to the eyes of 400 guests as he told the story of our partners
hip and 16 we drove home together that night. Why was it such a (n) 17 story? We would all offer our keys
18 we knew we shouldn"t drive. But you see, my friend Curt was blind. He had been blind from 19 and never
sat behind the wheel of a car 20 that night. | ( )1. A. continued
