题目内容：

A few weeks ago, I followed a friend into an art supply store．I found him picking out tubes of water-color paint, which __36__ me because he’s not an artist.

"I 37up for a water-color class, and it starts next week," he said．"I really don’t have 38_ for it, but it was on my list of 50 things to do before I die, so I _39__ it．Every few months I look at the list and decide what to focus on next． 40I had the list, I complained a lot about what I was 41_ in my life．Now I just bury myself in doing these things．Write your own list．and you’ll 42what I mean．"

So that night．I did just that, and he was right．The list revealed （显露出） a whole lot about what was __43__ to me．It also revealed how _44___ behind I am at getting to the things I really want．

I filled up the first twenty __45__ quickly, but then began to think carefully．

Eventually I __46_ items I’ve thought about for years, and __47__ I’ve carried with me since I was young．When I 48 the list later, some entries surprised me．

First, I want to _ 49_ much more, particularly now that my children are 50_ and can go with me to see the world．I would like to take them to bike through Denmark and camp in the Canadian Rockies．

I’m also surprised to _51_ some things on the list that need to be done soon．If I’m going to learn to roller-blade （轮滑）, __52_, I’d better start before I turn 50．

Like my friend, I now have an alternative to __53__．When I’m bored with life, I take out my list．

My friend told me the _54_ was preparing the ground so that life could work in mysterious ways．"If you want your ship to come in, you must build a dock （码头）," he said．

Thanks to my _55__, I’m working on some big docks．
