When I was a child, my parents taught me thedifference between good and bad behavior by showing me specific examples. Mymother told me that you don’t   36   other kidsbecause you would not like    37   if they hityou. That makes   38   . But, if my mother told meto be “nice” to someone, it was too vague for me to   39  .But if she said that being nice               40   delivering daffodils to a next door neighbor, that I couldunderstand.

I believe that doing practical things can  41   the world a better place. When I was in my twenties I thought a lotabout the meaning of life. At the time, I was getting started in my  42    of designing more humane facilities for animals at big farms andslaughterhouses(屠宰场). Many people would think that to evenwork at a slauterhouse would be inhumane, but they   43   thatevery human and animal   44   dies. In my mind, Ihad a(n)   45    of a way to make tht dying as   46  as possible.

Back in the 1970s, I went to fifty different feedlotsand big farms in Arizona and Texas and       47  them work cattle. I cataloged the parts of each facility that ­ 48   effectively. I took the best loading ramps, and other componentsand  49     them into an ideal new system. Iget great   50   when a farmer tells me that mycorral (畜栏)  51   helps cattlemove through it quietly and   52  . When cattle staycalm, it means they are not scared. And that makes me feel I’ve    53  something important.

Some people might think if I could snap my   54  I’d choose to be “normal”. But, I wouldn’t want to give up my    55   to see in beautiful, precise pictures. I believe in them.
