Ever since I was a boy, I have been interested in reading. I have read and been ________ by so many books from so many writers. I even enjoy ________ stories about other writers, because often they can ________ us a lot as well.

I heard one such story the other day that really made me stop and think. The two famous ________, Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller were invited to a(n) ________ thrown by a rich man at his home. As the host ________ his big house to his guests and bragged (吹嘘) about the valuable ________ of art he had collected, Vonnegut ________ to his friend Heller that their host had probably made more money in a day than Heller had ________ from his most popular novel, Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller smiled back and said, “Yes, he probably has but I have something he will ________ have-ENOUGH.”

Our society tells us that ________ is ever enough. The advertisements (广告) tell us every day to spend all the money to ________ more and more things. However, what is really enough for us? If our stomachs are ________ from “our daily bread” then we have enough. If we have clothes on our backs to keep us ________ then we have enough. If we have people we care about and people who express ________ for us then we have enough.

A few years back, I planned to build a networked digital library where theses (论文) from African universities could be stored. I wanted to find a way to make these _________ visible to the whole world. It took me years to _________ build it to my taste. But finally, it went nowhere.

The other day, I was in a rest area. I observed that when one ant found food, others immediately _________ to help pull the food to their storage. I tried to _________ their formation of movement, which unfortunately caused one to get _________. Quickly, they came together to rescue it. Then they reorganized and _________ in the line they had created. I saw no _________ of supervision (监督), yet they were moving pieces of food that were about 30 times the size of their individual size, which was a _________ task.

As I watched them, the library plan _________ in my mind. Wouldn’t it be __________ to trust others to help me? Right there, I made the following __________. The ants cooperated with each other: I would form a (n) __________, bringing professionals together. The ants trusted one another: I must __________ the notion (观念) that only by working alone can I ensure quality. The ants were __________. I would share my ideas with like-minded people.

It is about a month later now and the project is progressing well. It’s true that by __________ everyone in the organization and trusting people, we will achieve success.

We have been driving in fog all morning, but the fog is lifting now. The little seaside villages are _______, one by one. “There is my grandmother’s house,” I say, _______ across the bay to a shabby old house.

I am in Nova Scotia on a pilgrimage(朝圣) with Lisa, my granddaughter, seeking roots for her, retracing(追溯) _______ memory for me. Lisa was one of the mobile children, _______ from house to house in childhood. She longs for a sense of _______, and so we have come to Nova Scotia where my husband and I were born and where our ancestors _______ for 200 years.

We soon _______ by the house and I tell her what it was like here, the memories _______ back, swift as the tide (潮水).

Suddenly, I long to walk again in the _______ where I was once so gloriously a child. It still ________ a member of the family, but has not been lived in for a while. We cannot go into the house, but I can still walk ________ the rooms in memory. Here, my mother ________ in her bedroom window and wrote in her diary. I can still see the enthusiastic family ________ into and out of the house. I could never have enough of being ________ them. However, that was long after those childhood days. Lisa ________ attentively as I talk and then says, “So this is where I ________; where I belong.”

She has ________ her roots. To know where I come from is one of the great longings of the human ________. To be rooted is “to have an origin”. We need ________ origin. Looking backward, we discover what is unique in us; learn the ________ of “I”. We must all go home again—in reality or memory.
