Have you ever really had a 41 ? One who saw you as a raw but 42 thing, a jewel that could be 43 to a proud shine? If you are lucky enough to find such teachers, you will always find your way . My old professor’s death 44 came in 1994. Doctors guessed he had two years left. Morrie knew it was 45 . Do I droop and disappear, or do I make the best of my time left? He had asked himself. 46 everyone was going to die, he could be 47 great value, right? He could be a human 48 for students to learn. The last class of my old professor’s life had only 49 student. I was the student. The last class 50 once a week in his house, by a window in the study 51 he could watch a small plant shed its pink leaves. The subject was The Meaning of Life. You were 52 to respond to questions, and you were expected to raise questions of your own. You were also required to perform physical tasks now and then, such as lifting the professor’s head to a comfortable spot on the pillow or placing his glasses on the 53 of his nose. Kissing him good-bye earned you extra 54 . Many topics were 55 , including love, work, community, family, aging, forgiveness, and, finally, death. I 56 sometimes at the person I was before I rediscovered my old professor. I want to talk to that person. I want to tell him to pay attention when your loved ones are speaking, as if it 57 the last time you might hear them. I know I cannot do this. None of us can 58 what we’ve done, or relive a life already recorded. But if Professor Morris Schwartz taught me anything, it was this: there is no 59 thing as “too late” in life. He was 60 until the day he said good-bye. 41. A. professor B. parent C. teacher D. tutor 42. A. precious B. ripe C. useful D. worthless 43. A. changed B. polished C. made D. turned 44.
