Mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is.Through the years I would __1__a guess at what I thought was the correct__2__.When I was younger,I thought sound was very important to us as humans,__3__I said,“My ears,Mommy.” She said,“No,many people are __4__.” 

Since making my first attempt,I had considered the correct answer carefully.So several__5__later,I told her,“Mommy,__6__is very important to everybody,so it must be our__7__.”She looked at me and told me,“You are learning fast,but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.” 

Over the years,Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was__8__.Then last year,my grandpa died.Everybody was__9__.When it was our turn to say our final__10__to Grandpa,my Mom asked me,“Have you found the answer to my usual question—what is the most important body part__11__,my son?” 

I was__12__when she asked me this now.I always thought this was a game between her and me.She saw the__13__on my face and told me,“This question is very important.It shows that you have really lived your life.For every part you gave me__14__,I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example__15__.But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson.” She looked down at me as only a mother can.I saw her eyes well up with tears.She said,“Son,the most important body part is your__16__.” I asked,“Is it because it holds up my head?” 

She replied,“No,it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry.Everybody needs a shoulder to__17__on sometime in life,my son.I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you __18__ it.” 

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one—it is sympathetic to the__19__of others.People will forget what you said.People will forget what you did.But people will__20__forget how you made them feel.

  5. There are many older people in the world and there will be many more.A lime-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries.According to the World Health Organization,by 2020 there will be 1 billion,with over 700 million living in developing countries. 

    It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries.For example,it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent.It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase. 

    What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk?One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live,the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability.Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible,including during old age,to lessen the financial burden on the state.
