I have．been driving for over 30,years, but I can 41 remember what happened that day when I drove a car for the-first time．My mom had driven our big Plymouth to a 42 and deserted back road and parked it．

The road was only one lane（车道） and had a wall built with river rocks along the side of it 43 Mom knew there was little chance of meeting any 44 on it that day．With a smile, she gave me the key and _ 45 ． seats with me．And then she told me to start the car, to petit into drive and to 46 push on the gas pedal．In my 47 , though, l miscalculated what " gentle "meant．After I pushed on the gas pedal, the car sped forward． 48 I could turn the wheel, I heard the ;scraping c副擦声） of metal 49 the stone wall．I stopped the car and looked over at my Mom．Her face was pale and her hand’s were 50 _．Slowly, she opened her 51 _ and started checking the car. Then she walked _ 52 around the car to the driver's side door．I kept waiting for her to 53 me but she just 54 tomorrow．"

As I looked and 55 on that day. I am amazed at the amount of kindness, love and 56 my Mom showed me. In the years that followed, I 57 many times in many ways．Often I didn't feel worthy to be 58 , but each time I could feel Mom's gentle voice, "We'll try again tomorrow," When we fall today, don't 59 down．Rise up and be 60 to try again tomorrow．
