About five years ago，I found myself working in a terrible middle school.  The hours were long and the work was boring.　____31____, the pay was low.  Every day the job seemed a physical ____32____ for me. My neck would burn with pain from the ____33____ bending.  My feet would ache from ____34____ the entire day.  The skin around my fingernails would ____35____ because of the work my hands were doing.  I tried to keep my ____36____ up while I worked there, but day by day I felt myself ____37____ down.  Every morning I would press sticking-plaster on my neck, place Band-Aid around my fingers and ____38____ my worn-out shoes.  And every night I would ____39____ myself home and fall onto the couch.

      One evening I felt like I could____40____ it no more.  As I drove home alone, I said to myself.  “Why am I working myself here just to ____41____ ? Why couldn’t I find a better job than this? Why do I have to ____42____ this right now?”

      I wasn’t really expecting a(n) ____43____, but life always loves to surprise us.  As I ____44____ up the steps to my front door, I found my wife and my son waiting for me ____45____ smiling faces.  “Daddy, Daddy!” my son yelled.  I smiled and picked him up with my ____46____ arms.  Then after hugging and kissing him, I laughed for the first time in days and sat down ____47____.  At that time, I found the answer which would give me the ____48____ I needed to go on.

      Eventually I moved on to a better school, but I____49____ forgot that answer, which had gently reminded me of the simple truth.  We may have to work to live, but we live to ____50____.  May you always fill your days with love and joy.
