题目内容

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other    , including her “sixth sense”,   she rarely gives the impression she’s missed anything.

  Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she doesn’t push too hard on them, who really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, she moves around so fast that often the    don't realize she's blind.

  I realize this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   excited about her finger-painting project.

  “Mom, guess what?”said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to      colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle      with us.”

  To my great      my child had learnt about color from a blind friend!

  Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my       showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really      what I was doing!’’ Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt      Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

  I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come up in conversation.

  When I told her, she was      for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla     . And I knew my child was      because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's pride in her work.

  We were silent for a minute.Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my      .’’ Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books. I thought to myself, “  36 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 37 .”

As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,   38 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went  39 and landed in the grass.

My  40 went out to him. So, I ran over to him.   41 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it  42 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

Kyle was the  43 student of our class, one of those guys that really found  44 during high school. Therefore he had the honor to prepare a  45 speech.

Angels

My friend Heather mentioned that she had never seen an Angel. Then I remembered the 36  I had with my sister Sandra earlier this week.

This will be Sandra’s first Christmas without her husband. This summer he died in her arms. On Thursday, she was in the store  37  for an ideal card for her two sons and daughter.

Finally! She found the one that expressed the  41 feeling. The words expressed the feelings that she wished to share. However, a sharp pain pierced(穿透) her heart when she realized that the card was  42 “mom and dad.” She stood there,  43  it close for a long time, unable to move from the  44  . Tears began to run down her cheeks.

“Is there something I can do for you?” a  45  voice asked. She  46  to face a stranger, a woman, who was looking at her with  47  and concern. “Uh…oh...OH!” Sandra responded, “I can’t give this card to my children because…because my husband died and this is the  48  card.”

Hearing this, the stranger’s face softened with sympathy(同情) and love. She reached out and 49  my sister into her arms, giving her unspoken permission to cry in the protection of her embrace(拥抱). She  50  held my sister until her calmness 51  . “Thank you for listening to me cry on,” was what my sister said when all was better. “You are welcome, and I am so sorry for your  52 ,” the stranger answered and said goodbye to her.

During her telling of this event I was feeling  53  that I hadn’t been there. My sister needed me and a stranger had to do my  54  .  “You know,” she went on, “a friend suggested that it was like meeting with an Angel.” My  55  disappeared in an instant.

LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He  36  needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good  37  , so the next day I got ready to go.

I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes  38  , and helped Alex and   39  of the volunteers. There were only three  40  at first, and we figured we might as well get started  41  just waiting for more to arrive. I held the   42  , and suddenly felt extremely shy. I did not  43  asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to   44  those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few,   45  I cannot alone  46  every single cause in the world!

I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause.   47  , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they  48  . I realized that   49  I wasn’t pushy(强求的), it would be okay, and my conscience could be  50  .

I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms.   51  I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small  52  . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away  53  .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the   54  , and I became a successful fundraiser.

At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and   55  how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.
