It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun(尼姑). I had seen the old lady from

15、 the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight. I asked a few times what was wrong, but she didnt answer at first she couldnt hear me. She was wearing a woolen coat. Judging from her accent, she came from Eastern Europe.Do you know what hearing aids cost? Thousands,

16、 especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described. It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one, and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right. Therefore, my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid. But how does one find a tiny black object i

17、n a shadowy jet cabin（机舱）?The lady wasnt even sure where or when she had lost it. At one point, a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the ladys seat; I wasnt impressed. They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight! My flashlight turned up all kinds of small

18、 objects, bits of plastic, broken pieces of headphones.The old lady said that she gave up. Yet I couldnt. After we landed, as passengers streamed past us, I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair. Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and

19、 on the floor.Look! A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.

23、a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever. While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasnt much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he

24、lost the most important golf match of the season. Its not that his peers(同龄人) disliked this boy; its just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity.

25、s love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works.

27、Brown and comic dog Snoopy. In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but

28、 unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldnt even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.
