Although I enjoyed my new life and the time it freed up, there always seemed to be something missing. I thought it was a result of going from a high-activity career to a life of ____46____ . The retirement honeymoon lasted for one whole enjoyable year. Golf took up most of my summer, curling (冰壶) in the winter, and hiking ____47____ the times between. At the end of that first year, I was asked by a friend to help out at a local food bank that ____48____ a winter soup kitchen. Initially, my responsibility was not too ____49____ . It started out to be only one day a week and took just two hours of my time. The task involved going to the local food bank, ____50____ my car with pre-selected food items, and driving them to the kitchen ____51____ the weekend. Within a few weeks, I was also helping to sort out the food I was bringing to the charity organization. This soon ____52____ into preparing the cookers and dishes for the weekend event. My duties were ____53____ from one week to the next, which kept things interesting. Sometimes, I would help serve meals; other days, I would fill in for sandwich makers who hadn’t turned up for their ____54____ .

The common thing uniting all the guests was their _____55_____ toward the volunteers. Most diners would thank the people from whom they had received help. That was a wonderful reward for our efforts. Another wonderful thing was that the food was given _____56_____ . There was never any expectation to gain public _____57_____ for their donations; they just did it.
Gradually, my volunteering _____58_____ have now grown to include two days at the food bank plus the weekend.

As a descendant (后裔) of an immigrant family from Barbados, my childhood was different from that of my peers. My mom had rules for the home that seemed unconventionally ____136____. I must be home before nine. I was only ____137____ to watch television two hours a week. In the summers, I had to write book reports besides participating in a leadership camp.
In addition to these, what I felt unreasonable was that my mother ____138____ me to have role models.

Mom would then ____140____ that when you idolize people, their greatest accomplishments can unintentionally become the ceiling of your dreams.

Envision (想象) your own success, Dana.”

Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to ____148____ my life instead of depending on other people’s intentions. I eventually understand that Mom didn’t want any person—no matter how ____149____ —to have control over my thoughts, dreams and ambitions.
