large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, "Oh,
forevermore!" But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him,
and grandpa wasn"t laughing.
Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his
church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached 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 search proved fruitless.
Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen
into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!
The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for
those glasses that very morning.
"It"s not fair," he told God as he drove home in frustration."I"ve been very faithful in giving of my time
and money to your work, and now this."
Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States. He wanted to
visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather"s small
church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation (教堂会众).
"But most of all," he said, "I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year."
"Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able
to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this.
Then your boxes arrived. When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the
top." After a long pause, he continued, "Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been
custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!"
The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses. But the director surely must have confused their
church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list 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.
B. He had a large family to support.
C. He was a carpenter working in the church.
D. He was a loyal Christian.
B. help those people in need
C. make some woodwork for the church
D. seek some help from God
B. the director wanted to return the glasses even though he liked it
C. the director could not get such glasses in their own country
D. the glasses were not included in the donation list
B. One of Grandpa"s friends.
C. Cod.
D. Grandpa"s co-worker.

| My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip. On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids:"I"m going to Afghanistan". And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away. In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems."Adventures or not?" I often asked myself. When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have. I think about the moment many times during my "adventures". I didn"t know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me. | ||||||||||||||

| Home, sweet home It was December 22. The cold wind swept the countless snowflakes (雪花) across my front yard. My dad was there sweeping the 1 . His nose was 2 as a cherry. With every breath he took, a white puff (水气) ran into the air. Inside, my mother was 3 the last of the boxes. As I entered the front door, the 4 that after today I wouldn"t enter through that door ever again 5 a hole in my stomach. I picked up my dog and sat Indian style with him in my arms on the 6 , wooden floor. I had no 7 but to sit on the floor, for there was no longer any furniture existing in my house. I sat there in a daze (恍惚), just 8 . There was no reason for my parents to make me, a once 9 12-year-old kid, 10 . I had two best friends right across the street; I did well in school and I always kept my room clean. 11 , this was"my house". By no means did I want a couple of 12 living here. These recurring (重复) thoughts 13 around in my mind and I couldn"t find an answer. Out of the front window I could see the orange top of a truck pulling in the cleaned driveway and I knew it was the other U-Haul. Instantly three men came 14 in the back door like World War III was starting. I watched 15 as the men, my mother and my dad carried our belongings to the truck. My dog even winced (畏缩) as he stared out of the window. I wondered if he was 16 , too, or if he just wished to play outside in the snow. My mum came in, looking solemn (凝重). She turned 17 the overhead light, put the 18 in my arm and took me out of the back door. A totally 19 feeling filled my heart. For the first time in my life, I wondered what 20 would be to me tomorrow. | ||||||||||||||
