Question

When I was a child, my parents taught me the difference between good and bad behavior by showing me specific examples. My mother told me that you don’t   36   other kids because you would not like    37   if they hit you. That makes   38   . But, if my mother told me to be “nice” to someone, it was too vague for me to   39  . But if she said that being nice               40    delivering daffodils to a next door neighbor, that I could understand.

I believe that doing practical things can  41    the world a better place. When I was in my twenties I thought a lot about the meaning of life. At the time, I was getting started in my  42     of designing more humane facilities for animals at big farms and slaughterhouses(屠宰場). Many people would think that to even work at a slauterhouse would be inhumane, but they   43   that every human and animal   44   dies. In my mind, I had a(n)   45    of a way to make tht dying as   46   as possible.

Back in the 1970s, I went to fifty different feedlots and big farms in Arizona and Texas and       47   them work cattle. I cataloged the parts of each facility that ­  48   effectively. I took the best loading ramps, and other components and  49     them into an ideal new system. I get great   50   when a farmer tells me that my corral (畜欄)  51   helps cattle move through it quietly and   52  . When cattle stay calm, it means they are not scared. And that makes me feel I’ve    53   something important.

Some people might think if I could snap my   54   I’d choose to be “normal”. But, I wouldn’t want to give up my    55    to see in beautiful, precise pictures. I believe in them.
