I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a freezing cold wet day in the winter of 1975. I remember the right moment, hiding behind a fragile mud wall, peeking (窺視)into the alley (胡同)near the frozen stream. That was a long time ago ,but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I,ve learned, about how you can bury it, because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I,ve been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.

One day in summer, my friend, Rahim Khan called from Pakistan. He asked me to come to see him. Standing in the kitchen with the receiver to my ear, I knew it wasn’t just Rahim Khan on the line. It was my past of unatoned sins (未能彌補(bǔ)的罪行) After I hung up, I went for a walk along Spreckels Lane on the northern edge of Golden Gate Park. The early afternoon sun sparkled on the water where dozens of small boats sailed, driven by a gentle breeze. Then I glanced up and saw a pair of kites with long blue tails, soaring in the sky. They danced high above the trees on the west end of the park, over the windmill, floating side by side like a pair of eyes looking down on San Francisco, the city I now call home.

And suddenly Hassan5S voice whispered in my head: For you, a thousand times over. Hassan the hare-lipped kite runner. I sat on a park bench near a willow tree. I thought about something Rahim Khan said just before he hung up, almost as an after thought. There is a way to be good again. I looked up at those twin kites. I thought about Hassan. Thought about Baba. AU. Kabul. I thought of the life I had lived until the winter of 1975 came along and changed everything. And made me what I am today.

I looked   39  the bars(鐵欄)at my jailer(獄警).He did not make eye contact with me.I called out to him,“Have you got a light?” He looked at me,and came over to  40  my cigarette.
As he came close and lit the match,his eyes met with mine.At that moment,I smiled I don't know  41  I did that,Perhaps it was  42 ,perhaps it was because,when you get very close,one to another,it is very hard not to  43 .In any case,I smiled.It was   44   a spark(火花)jumped across the distance between our two hearts.I know he didn't want to,but my smile jumped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips.He lit my cigarette but stayed near,looking at me  45_ in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I kept smiling at him,now   46  of him as a person and not just a jailer.And his looking at me seemed to have a new   47 ,too.“Do you have kids?” he asked.

There are reasons why a middle-aged woman who has been away from the work for her children’s sake decides to go back to work. The  16  reason for me was: years ago my job was that of a bookkeeper(會(huì)計(jì))----- it was then that I worked for  17  , and now with my children working, I wanted to do something  18  , something new and exciting.

Money wasn't too important now, as my husband made a very  19  living for us. But what should I do? What sort of   20  should I look for? I knew I needed to be  21   as to what I became involved with. I am not a "quitter"(容易放棄的人) and so I hoped to  22   becoming responsible to an employer in a job that might turn out to be a mistake for me.

While I made painful efforts thinking over what to do, I was   23  of a past incident where I needed to replace my original engagement ring  24  the gold was wearing thin. My husband and I shopped and shopped for one,   25 we went, even when we were on vacation.  26  this nonstop searching got my poor   27  to ask, "Just what kind of ring do you want, what exactly are we looking for?" My reply was, "I honestly don't   28, but when I see the correct setting, I will know it." That was the  29  I felt about the new career I wished to start; I didn't have an exact idea as to what I wanted to do, but knew there was a perfect fit for me, if I would  30  be patient.

Fortunately, that summer while I  31  my twenty-fifth high school class reunion(重聚), I heard a former classmate  32  what she did for a living. She was a travel agent, and she and her husband had just  33 from a trip to Hawaii where they acted as guides for a group of travelers.
