A few weeks ago, I followed a friend into an art supply store．I found him picking out tubes of water-color paint, which __36__ me because he’s not an artist.
"I 37 up for a water-color class, and it starts next week," he said．"I really don’t have 38_ for it, but it was on my list of 50 things to do before I die, so I _39__ it．Every few months I look at the list and decide what to focus on next． 40 I had the list, I complained a lot about what I was 41 _ in my life．Now I just bury myself in doing these things．Write your own list．and you’ll 42 what I mean．"
So that night．I did just that, and he was right．The list revealed （显露出） a whole lot about what was __43__ to me．It also revealed how _44___ behind I am at getting to the things I really want．
I filled up the first twenty __45__ quickly, but then began to think carefully．
Eventually I __46_ items I’ve thought about for years, and __47__ I’ve carried with me since I was young．When I 48 the list later, some entries surprised me．
First, I want to _ 49_ much more, particularly now that my children are 50_ and can go with me to see the world．I would like to take them to bike through Denmark and camp in the Canadian Rockies．
I’m also surprised to _51_ some things on the list that need to be done soon．If I’m going to learn to roller-blade （轮滑）, __52_, I’d better start before I turn 50．
Like my friend, I now have an alternative to __53__．When I’m bored with life, I take out my list．
My friend told me the _54_ was preparing the ground so that life could work in mysterious ways．"If you want your ship to come in, you must build a dock （码头）," he said．
Thanks to my _55__, I’m working on some big docks．

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident （进修医生） drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion．
The answer, I concluded, was 37 ．When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon”-- then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon．I was 40 that point．
41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night．The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone．I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 ．Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I"d have trouble getting back to sleep．I"d 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision．More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself．It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax．
Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem．Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon．I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I"d made was bound to be a 53 one．It was a nice feeling．
This all sounds conceited （自负的） and I guess it is -- 54 a surgeon needs conceit．He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he"s bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine．He has to feel that he"s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world．Call it conceit -- call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it．
