Tina Lin was not like many of her classmates.She didn’t listen to popular music.She didn’t watch many movies, and she wasn’t interested in nice clothes.
When she got 1 with her friends at a party, Tina found her friends preferred rock and pop music.When Tina 2 if they would like to try classical music, they all looked at her strangely.
“ 3 music is for old people,”one of her friends said.
Tina was 4 that something was wrong with her.She decided to 5 her father.As she entered his study, he could feel something was wrong.
“Dad, am I strange?”she asked her 6 .
“Of course not,”he answered,“Why do you ask that?”
“Because I don’t 7 the same things as my classmates.They want to listen to pop music.I like classical music.”
“I think I understand.Never mind, Tina. 8 all right to be your own person.You don’t have to copy what other people do.Everybody 9 different tastes(品味).Some of them are popular, 10 others aren’t.”
After Tina spoke with her father, she felt better about herself.She realized that being different made her special.It was an important lesson for her to learn.
I used to live selfishly, I should admit(承认).But one moment changed me.
I was on my lunch break and had 1 the office to get something to eat.On the way, I saw a busker(街头艺人),with a hat in front of him.I had some 2 in my pocket, but I would not give them to him, thinking to myself he would 3 use the money to feed his addiction(瘾)to drugs or alcohol.He 4 like that type-young and ragged(衣衫褴褛). 5 what was I going to spend the money on? Only to feed my addiction to Coca-Cola or chocolate! I then 6 I had no right to place myself above 7 just because he was busking.
I 8 and dropped all the coins into his 9 , and he smiled at me, I watched for a while.As selfish as it sounds, I expected something more to come from that moment-a feeling of 10 or satisfaction, for example.But nothing happened.Disappointedly , I walked off.“It proved to be a waste of 11 ,” I thought.
On my way home at the end of the 12 , I saw the busker again and he was 13 .I watched him pick up the hat and walk to a cafe counter.There he poured the total contents into a tin collecting 14 an earthquake fund-raising(募捐)event.He was busking for charity!
Now I donate any 15 I have to charity tins and enjoy the feeling of giving.
