It was at a concert that I happened to find David. He was holding his head at a strange   36  as if he were staring down at something. Then the truth  37 me. He was blind. The last thing he remembers seeingwas his daughter being born. Then the whole world went   38 .
Bad luck is no stranger to this 44-year-old man. His mother died of cancer, and his weak father had to  39 11-year-old David to the  40 of the state.
Things seemed always to go for   41  . Two years ago, his beloved guide dog pulled him out of the pathof a truck. David was not  42 . The dog died.
But David does not feel sorry for himself. “These are just little obstacles(障碍困难) you have to   43  in your life,” he said.
He has to make a daily two-hour trip to his working place—the X-ray department of an  44  room. It was a hard job to 45 by. Before he got it, David was determined to escape the workshop run by the Lighthouse, an organization   46  to helping blind people. He wanted a job of developing X-ray film, a job   47   everyone, not just he, must work in the dark, including those with  48  eyesight. The Lighthouse called many hospitals, with no result,   49  they offered to pay his first three months’ salary.
David works alone in a dark room that   50  of chemicals. He doesn’t wear gloves. Otherwise, he could not feel. 51  this is an emergency room, lives can be put either   52  or out of danger. His director says he trusts him 100 percent.
He makes $20,000 a year. But his motivation goes   53  money. “By working I can realize my own   54 . That’s what really counts!” he said.
What a shining example for us to   55 !
