       “Stars are afraid of city lights, but a little song is always good for something.” Grandma put her arms around me and sang softly in her low and beautiful v    2    .

On the fourth floor, the lift stopped suddenly and it went d    4    . I felt my heart b    5     hard in my ears. Grandma rang the bell and was told that the electricity was off along the whole street.
       Grandma held my hands, and we sang together in the dark lift. Before long, Mr. Smith came and helped us get out safely. Grandma took my hand, and we walked down the stairs to the first floor. Grandma nodded in the d    6     of my school. “Am I still going?” “School has power, dear Sally.” She took my hand again! And I was not late for school.
       The power was still off when I came home that afternoon. After dinner and homework, we came to the balcony and watched day t    7     to evening. Lights came on several streets a    8    , but it was dark here.
       “Stars might not be so a    9     tonight.” I say. “Star light, star bright. . .” I started to sing, and Grandma joined in. One, two, three. . . Thousands of stars l    10     the sky bright!

The students were surprised to see that there was not a question but just a black dot (点) in the c    2     of the page. The professor noticed the students’ face expressions and told them, “I want you to write about what you see there.”

The students were s    3     surprised but got started with the test. At the e    4     of the class, the professor took all the answer sheets and started r    5     each answer from each sheet in front of the students. All of them described about the black dot and tried to explain its position etc. After the professor f    6     reading, the whole class was silent.

Professor begin to explain, “Don’t worry. I am not going to give you grades for this but I j    7     want you to think about something.” Here everyone focused on the black dot and wrote about it but no one wrote about the white paper. The s    8     is our life. The white paper represents our whole life and the black dot represents p    9     in our life.

“Our lives are a gift g    10     to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate—our friends around us, the job that provides us our livelihood(生活), the miracles(奇迹) we see every day.”

“Still we just focus on day to day problems like health issues, lack of money, problems in relationships etc., but we never see that these problems are very small compared with everything we have in our life.”
