When my father died, one of the tasks that fell to me was to sort through and decide which objects to save and which to throw away. Now I look at the 31 of my life as if I were dead, 32 what my children will do with the human skull(骷髅) that 33 on the bookcase next to my desk. I couldn’t 34 them if they threw it out. They’ve been wanting to do that for some years, 35 will they know how much can be learned from 36 with a skull? And what about my books? 37 they can find some place in their 38 for ten thousand books. However, I know they will look at the white, plastic head of a horse on my desk and 39 it into a Glad trash bag without any 40 , never knowing that it is the only place 41 from the first chess set (棋子)I owned. How many boxes of mine will my children 42 ? Can I trust my children with my 43 ? Every object of our lives is a 44 , and emotion swirls(旋动) around it like fog, hiding and 45 a tiny truth of the heart. I look at these objects that are mine and know, too, that they are 46 of how alone I am, how alone each of us is, 47 no one knows what any object means except he or she who 48 it. I have the memory of taking it home 49 one of my newly-born children from the hospital; only I have the memory of what it looked like when I lived in that apartment and where it sat in that house. I look at the objects that are mine, and the memories are 50 and permeated（渗透着）with love. I look at the objects that are mine and know that I’m going to miss me very much.
