One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, this uninvited guest was a bird--- a(n) __1__, to be more precise(精确地).
“What’s that?” I asked when I first heard the thump(重击声). “It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,” my wife, Anita, said. She paused and __2__ more devotedly. “It’s coming from the __3__.” she said. “Maybe it’s one of the little __4__”.
We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was easy to make __5__. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children at all. But there was that __6_ again, coming from right up there.
And that’s when I __7__ the sparrow. It was flying __8__ just inches below the ceiling. It was clearly trying to __9__, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down and out through the open _10__. So the bird continued beating its wings and hitting its head against the __11__.
“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be __12__.”
“Well, maybe it’s because of me,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide (滑翔) down a few feet so it could get outside, __13__ that only seemed to frighten it more.
“Why don’t we just __14__?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll __15__ eventually.”
So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing struggle. Then suddenly, it was __16__. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was __17__.
“See?” Anita said. “I told you he would make it.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it __18__ him?”
I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to __19__. Born to go upward, we don’t __20__ consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping(拍打) around and just glide down a little bit.

About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children, but I often heard the parents 26 shouting at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a (n) 27 one.
We often 28 in the hallway. I always greeted them, 29 the only answer I ever got was a “hello” from the eight-year-old girl. I usually 30 to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just 31 their apartment and the little girl was 32 the outside door open for the others. I 33 in the car doing 34 things because I wasn’t eager to be snubbed (冷落) again. Finally I got out of my car and walked towards the door. The parents were telling her to 35 to get into the car, but the little girl was still holding the door, 36 me! I hurried although I was still in pain from my injury.
I forgot to tell her how 37 I was for her kindness. I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had 38 an old man’s heart.
The next day there was a (n) 39 on my door and it was the little girl and her father. She was quite 40 of her behavior and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother was there, too. Her parents 41 me, too.
Now when we meet in the hall way we always greet each other, in a friendly 42 .
Last night there was a heavy snow. I looked out at my car and 43 how I was going to keep my doctor’s 44 because I could only walk for a short time. This morning when I opened the front door, all the snow was removed.
Isn’t it 45 that the small kind act of an 8-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? It is said that good tings come from small acts.

When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community service work. There was one specific__16_ that was unusual for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless out in the streets. After that I went to a homeless shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
