1.Pass Your Love On
Waiting for the airplane to take off,I was happy to get a seat by myself.Just then,an air hostess approached me and asked,"Would you mind (36)B your seat?A couple would like to sit together."The only (37)B seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts (石膏绷带),a black-and-blue face,and a sad expression."(38)A am I going to sit there,"I thought immediately.But a soft voice spoke,"She needs help."Finally,I (39)A to move to that seat.
The girl was named Kathy.She (40)C in a car accident and now was on her way for(41)D.
When the snack and juice arrived,it did not take me long to (42)D that Kathy would not be able to (43)C herself.I considered (44)C to feed her but hesitated,as it seemed too (45)B to offer a service to a (46)A.But then I realized that Kathy's need was more(47)C than my discomfort.I offered to help her eat,and(48)A she was uncomfortable to accept,she (49)C as I expected.We became closer and closer in a short period of time.By the end of the five-hour trip,my heart (50)D,and the(51)B was really better spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached (52)D my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her.Love (53)Bflows beyond human borders and removes the fears that keep us (54)D.When we stretch to serve (55)A,we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.
