As we walked out of the office and into the lift, no words were spoken. We couldn't even look at each other. We were both just stunned（愣住）and did not   1  what to say to one another.
  We got into the sky  2   car, and left the parking lot. Mum wasn't paying much attention to her  3  , but all of a sudden she   4   hard on the brakes（刹车）and we both went  5  . Outside of the car we saw a   6  , half on and half off his bike. "Where did you get your license, woman?" he shouted, "You almost   7   me!"
  The biker got back on his bike and rode off,  8   shaking his head. It was then that mum and I looked at each other. We cried,  9   we came to realize that I had a(n)  10  . We talked about it for hours, and I knew I had so  11   support and that I was going to be   12  .
  Twelve years later, at age 31, cancer has now been put  13   me. I had major surgery（手术）and 4 months of radiation treatment. Thank God, it was caught at a(n)  14   stage, and I was able to make a full recovery.
  Cancer   15   me so much -- so much for the better. It  16   me to appreciated life and those in my life, and to never  17   anything for granted. Life is too short and you have to live each moment to the very  18  .
  To this day, I wish I could   19   that man on the bike. I'd like to tell him that he was not the only survivor（幸存者）to come   20   that day, as I am living proof.
