Every Friday I went to a senior nursing home. It seemed as if it needed _______ , but little did I know it would help me too. 

During my first visit I helped to polish (擦光) some ladies’ nails . One woman asked me many questions. After she was satisfied with my _____, she started to share some of her hidden____ . By listening to her, I realized I had helped her a lot: she looked_____ from some of her past pains.

When she was finished, she told me something that ____ me to visit the nursing home every week. She said, “You’re the only person I was able to tell this to. The other volunteers are too busy to____ me. You’ll come back next week, right?” After____ blowing on her newly coated nails(指甲), I smiled and _____ , “Yes, I’ll see you next Friday.”

That day, I was gladdened by the ___ that I had helped somebody. I realized an action as ___ as listening became something much more.

During every second I spent there, I realized how much of a difference my____could have on the lives of others. The hardest part of living there is that it breaks the human _____ between those in today’s society and the nursing home.

Every moment I spend chatting is a chance to _____ that connection again, to share their worries, and to shape someone’s life. In turn , that ____ also shapes me. I not only learn about life and experiences outside of school, but also receive the_____of being part of this process – this connection between humans.

When you eat out with friends, it can be difficult to decide what to order, for there are often too many choices on the menu, and everything sounds good.

Luckily, a group of authors have recently written some books to help people solve this problem. Here are some of their tips about ordering food.

First, take a quick look at the menu and order what catches your eye first. Spend no more than 2-3 seconds deciding. Second, the key to ordering a good meal in a restaurant is understanding what the cooks are good at. Third, ask the waiters what they recommend and order something else – they always try to let you order expensive dishes and make money! Then ,take the menu and divide it into 4 or 5 pieces. Order from only one of the pieces, and don’t look at the other pieces. You will be happier with your meal. At last, ask the other customers at the restaurant about what they’re having and order the most popular dishes for yourself.
