In June, 2013, I started my work at the animal shelter's Adoption (领养) Department. Over the years, more than 50000 animals have _______ the doors of the shelter (收容所). Sometimes there are _______ animals, who touch me so deeply that I could never forget them. Tabby was such an animal.

Tabby was an ancient Cooker Spaniel, probably 14 years old. What's more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby's chances of adoption seemed small. We all thought that Tabby would live out the rest of her life at the _______.

One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, was interested in Tabby! What could a young child possibly see in a 14-year-old dog who was both blind and deaf? Most boys would want a dog who could grow with them and _______ through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would _______ be able to do that. But after meeting her, Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family. They adopted Tabby!

If Tabby′s story simply ended with her ________ adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed. ________, it was what happened after her adoption that people might think to be "magic". Gary had seizures (癫痫).Since Gary and Tabby met, they have been friends. They became so "in tune" with one another that Tabby began to tell Gray's seizures ________ they appeared, giving his family a(n) _______ that one was about to strike (到达). What's more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby arrived.

How could it be? Nobody could explain ________ Tabby did it. But those of us who were lucky enough to know her family and witnessed the magic, know that it has its roots in love.

A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, D. C. Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice, "Can you help me?" When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出). In a natural reflex(反射), I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said. "I don't want your money. I just need help finding the post office.

In a moment, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I guessed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This thing re-awakened(唤醒)my belief in humility(谦恭), even though I'd lost it for a moment.

The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant(移民). I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S. at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister and a strong, serious-minded mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.

In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice(偏见). I remember a time, at age 17—I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also witnessed(当场见到)the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it's like, and I should have known better.

But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C, cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this article, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
