15.Danny's Courage
Danny came to my school in seventh grade.He was handsome and smart.I fell for him at once and so were many girls.That,(36)A,soon changed.
Danny had been in our school for about a week when his parents picked him up in a/an(37)D car that made loud noise.Obviously that Danny was poor and he was no longer(38)B material.
I had a poor family too; I just (39)C it from everyone.I was soashamed of my situation that I never had kids come over to my house.I felt like my friends would judge me if they knew the truth.It was a lot of work keeping my (40)B,but I figured it was easier than it would be to have no friends.
One day,our teacher,Mr.Sims,announced that the seventh-grade field trip would be to an amusement park.The classroom was filled with (41)C as the girls discussed what to wear and what to bring with them.I felt (42)D.But not Danny.He simply told everyone that he wouldn't be going.When asked why,Danny stood up and stated,"Ican't(43)A it.My dad hurt his back and has been out of(44)B.I'm not asking my parents for money."
Sitting back in his seat,Danny held his head up(45)C,even though whispering had begun."Dan,I'm very proud of you for (46)A the situation that your parents are in.Not every student can do that."replied Mr.Sims.Glaring at us,he spoke again,only louder.
"We're going to do things differently.The trip is not until the end of the month,so we have plenty of time(47)Dfund-raising.Each student will be responsible for bringing in an idea for fund-raising.Bring them in tomorrow.If a student doesn't want to (48)B,he or she will be spending the field trip day here at the school.Any questions?"
While walking home,I (49)C some boys talking with Danny.I worried that they were giving him a (50)D time,but as I got closer,I realized they were just (51)A about the bestideas for a fund-raiser.
In order to (52)D in the class,I lied and came up with excuse after excuse.But Danny made a(53)A inmy life by standing up and admitting he was poor.Ino longerfelt I had to(54)B.And the funny thing was that my friends stuck by me when I finally let them get closer.
Danny,because of his courage and (55)Cratherthan his great looks,is someone I will never forget.

13.When Nancy Lublin got﹩5,000from her great-grandfather,she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans.(16)Instead,the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about the clothing (17)condition faced by most of today's low-income women:"If she goes for a job interview (18)poorly dressed,she won't get the job,"Lublin says."But without a job,she can't (19)affordproper clothing."
A few weeks later,Lublin (20)founded Dress for Success and began searching for clothing and volunteers.She asked women to give away (21)usedbusiness clothes that were (22)still in good condition.She asked the members of diet centers to give away clothes that no longer fit.At first Lublin(23)storedthe clothes in her one-bedroom apartment,but finally she found (24)space in Greenwich Village church basement,which now (25)serves as the organization's main office.
Today,when women arrive at the office for help with job-hunting,they (26)receive
a dress,shoes,a bag,stockings and jewelry,and self-confidence as well.Some are trying to enter the work (27)force after being on welfare for years.
(28)Since Dress for Success fitted its first person who got help a year ago,more than 1,000women have received dresses and many have won(29)jobs.Yarit Polanco was recently(30)hiredas a law-firm office manager."Thanks to Dress for Success,I made a good impression and was accepted,"she says.
Donations are now (31)pouring in,including jewelry and 6,000pairs of trousers and﹩40,000worth of handbags.Broadcast journalists have given suits.And Lublin is opening Dress for Success (32)branchesin other cities."Many women have clothes (33)lying around that they'll never wear again,"says a volunteer."Nancy's (34)idea is simple and practical and the (35)helphas proved so important to those women who are in great need of it."
