I was1when I walked into McCauley’s Bookstore in Ashland. As I was looking at titles(标题) on the shelves, the man behind the counter(柜台),2, asked if I'd like3. I needed to start4for college, so I said yes. I 19_ after school and during summers for the lowest wages(薪金), and the job helped5my freshman(or first) year of college. I would work many other jobs: I made coffee in the Students’ Union during college, I was a hotel maid (or waitress) and6 made maps for the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying(令人满意的).
One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful (or much afraid). I showed her almost7 we had at that time in store and found other books we could order (定货). She left the store less8. I’ve always remembered the9 I felt in having helped her.
Years later, as a10 in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant (移民) child who was born11 his fingers connected (or joined together), web-like. His family could not afford (or pay for) a corrective(矫正;整形) operation, and the boy lived in12, hiding his hand in his pocket.
I13 my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the14 for free.
I visited the boy in the recovery(康复) room soon after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his15 hand and say, "Thank you." I felt a sense (感觉) of16.
In the past, while I was17, I always sensed (or felt) I was working for the customers(顾客), not the store. Today it’s the18. NBC News pays my salary(工资),19I feel as if I work for the20, helping them make sense of (or find the meaning of) the world.
