Last weekend, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car.My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of  1  other people’s cars as well.It was pretty   2   outside and I had no plans to   3   being in the bright sun.She   4   wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passers-by for free.I had seen little kids  5   and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free.Although I felt   6 , I decided to help her.
7   she asked me, “What if we 8  this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and   9   her and the other kids to go outside the house and           10  creative ideas.While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n)  11   with beautiful images of smiles.They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the   12   of their exercise was “smile”.It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the   13    to do something for others.
All that seemed   14   and came right from their heart.Nothing seemed to   15  to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   16  others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   17  to help clean cars.Passers-by were   18  and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they   19 .A pretty heartwarming  scene !
I felt blessed by being surrounded by such wonderful and loving   20

In the early 1800’s, a boy named John lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) with several other children. Every day was   31   working and Christmas was the one day of the year   32   the children did not work and received a gift — an orange. The children valued it so much that they kept it for weeks, and even   33   — smelling it, touching it and loving it. Usually they tried to kept it for so   34   that it often went bad before they ate it.
This year John knew he would soon be   35   enough to leave. He would save the orange until his birthday in July. If he preserved it   36  , he might be able to eat it on his birthday. 
Christmas day finally came. The children were so   37   as they entered the dining hall. In his excitement, John knocked over something, causing a big   38  . Immediately the master shouted, “John, leave the hall and there will be no orange for you.” John’s heart   39  . He turned and ran back to the cold room so that the children wouldn’t see his tears. 
Then he heard the door open and the children entered. Little Elizabeth with a   40   on her face held out her small hands. “Here John,” she said, “this is for you.” As John   41   his head, he saw a big juicy orange all peeled (剥皮) and quartered ……. Each child had sacrificed (舍弃) their own orange by   42   a quarter and had created a big, beautiful orange for him. 
John never forgot the sharing, love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day.   43   that day, after he became rich, every year he   44   send oranges all over the world to children everywhere. His   45  was that no child would ever spend Christmas without a special Christmas fruit!
