With a kind look on her face, she said, "    32    class is over, I'd like to share with all of you a thought which I feel is      33    . Each of us is here on earth to learn, to share, to love,  to appreciate (欣赏) and to give of ourselves… we don't know when this experience (经历) will

34   . It can be t aken away at any moment. "

Her eyes beginning to     35     , she went on, "so I'd like you all to make me a promise… from now on, wherever you go, find something beautiful. It doesn't have to be something you see— it could be a smell maybe of freshly made bread, or it could be the      36    of the wind through the leaves.

teacher and    40    what an impression(印象) she made on all of us, and I try to appreciate things tha t sometimes we overlook (忽视).
