During my second year of college I had to look for another place to live in. One Sunday after church the pastor(牧师) 36 me to stay in his daughter’s room because she was studying abroad for one year.
To be honest, I really didn’t want to stay with the pastor’s family. 37 then he old me how much rent would be—a very 38__ figure that included one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about it and 39 to move in.
At the end of the term I had planned to make 40 living arrangements, since the daughter was to 41 home. But they suggested I 42 a room with their son. By this time I seemed to have been adopted(收养)into their 43 -- her people became my people. I 44 accepted the offer.
As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be 45 to have a little sister. But when I later met her, I 46 that this idea of looking after her might be more interesting than I first 47 .
We finally fell in love, married, and have been 48 one another for many years. There have been times that life turned out to be 49 than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go 50 _ largely because we knew that somebody deeply cared.
It isn’t about marriage—it’s about 51 _ . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as 52 _ as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be 53 -- you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and 54 I will need you to look after me.”
Is there somebody you can 55 ? And is someone counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is someone to look after, and when someone is looking after us.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
● Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person’s name, repeat it.1.You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
● Ask the other person to recite and repeat. 2.After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
● 3.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy(同情) if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
● Use associations (联想). 4.For example, you could make a mental note: “ Vicki Cheng — tall, black hair.” To reinforce (强迫) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
● Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate(全神贯注)on remembering just two or three names. 5.Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names.
