During our two months on the road，Bennett and I had a really 　1   experience with a good，honest 　2　 and some helpful mechanics（机修师）.

We were driving east on Highway 10 when our “check engine” light came on. We limped（拐）off a（n）　3   into Las Cruces. We had a real car 　4  .Bennett nursed the car into a local garage. By the time the car was missing（熄火）, it was shaking all over so 　5  .This was the 　6   time to arrive at a garage—late Friday afternoon. Service adviser Scott was busy 　7   paper work and customers as we 　8　 our problems.　9   he was already “ten cars behind”，he told us to pull the car into the garage.

Lincoln，who we later 　10　 was one of the top motor technicians，took 　11   of our car repairing. He and Scott and some other mechanics stayed several hours after closing，　12   the car.

Early the next morning(the shop was officially closed on Saturdays)，Lincoln finally located the 　13  and fixed it easily within only 　14  .?

Later Scott 　15   out to us that it was our attitude that helped. “You didn’t come into the place demanding this or that. You showed an ?16  of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon. Customer’s attitude means a lot.” He was right in some way，customers should show 　17   and understanding to people who 　18   them.　19   people are extremely busy，they can find a way to at least try and help when they are met with politeness.?

The pleasant experience I had shows that 　20   for other people can always help.?

I didn’t cry when I learned I was the parent of a mentally handicapped (弱智的) child.

“Go ahead and cry” the doctor 1 kindly. But I couldn’t cry then nor during the months that followed.

We sent her to a kindergarten in our neighborhood at age seven. I worried that she was the “ 2 ” child among twenty five?year?olds.

3 ，positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school，and to her schoolmates，too. When talking big of their own accomplishments，Kristi’s classmates always took 　4 to praise her as well，“Kristi got all her spelling words right today.” No one would say that her spelling list was easier than anyone else’s.

During Kristi’s second year in school，she 　5 a very special challenge. The big public event of the term was a 　6 based on the final outcome of the year’s music and physical education activities. Kristi was 　7 in both. My husband and I felt 　8 about the day as well.

On the day of the program，Kristi 　9 to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. Why let Kristi fail in a gymnasium 10 with parents，students and teachers？What a simple 　11 ！But I finally got her onto the school bus.

Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school，now I forced myself to go，too. Then I knew Kristi’s 　12 . Her class was divided into relay teams. With her slow and clumsy reactions，she would surely 13 her team.

But as Kristi’s turn to 　14 neared，a change took place in her team. The tallest boy in the line stepped 15 Kristi and placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood a little ahead of her. The 　16 the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack(bag)，the two boys seized it and held it open while the tall boy 17 Kristi and dropped her neatly into the sack. A girl ahead took her hand and supported her until she gained her 　18 .Then off Kristi hopped (跳跃)，smiling and proud.

At the cheers of the crowd，I slipped out to thank Heaven for the warm and considerate people making it possible for my 19 daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally 20 .
