A while ago my family and I went sledding（滑雪橇）and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.

Many people are   1   that most of today’s social problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no   2   to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything   3  there is something in it for them.

Yet, while sledding, I saw a   4   side. I watched my two oldest children （then five and four） take my youngest （then two years old） by the hand to help her up the slippery slope   5   they went up. They would have been   6  without her, but not once did they try to sneak by her without helping. And when the sled  7   my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to   8   them falling and hurting themselves.

These children sometimes  9  among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can   10   them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to   11   some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children   12   on the sideline （作为旁观者）and know that they will befriend them.

Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame   13   much of society’s problems – not the youngsters who want everything,   14   the adults who have taught them to selfishly   15   only of themselves.

Most adults have been   16   at some time or another, sadly, many   17   that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!

Most young children want to help. We can   18  that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with   19   of bumps （撞伤） and bruises （擦伤）, but we can all make it to the   20  if we remember to help those who need it.

A friend of ours was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset．As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance．As he drew   1　, he, who had been feeling so tired of teaching those naughty children at school, suddenly   2   the local native kept   3 down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water．Time and again he kept hurling （猛投） things out into the ocean．

As our friend   4   even closer, he found that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one   5  , he was   6   them back into the water．

Our friend was   7  ．He got close to the man and said, “Good evening, friend．I was  8  what you are doing．”

“I am throwing these starfish back into the ocean．You see, it’s   9   tide right now and all of these starfish have been   10   up onto the shore． 11   I don’t throw them back into the sea, they’ll die up here from   12   of oxygen．”

“I   13   that,” our friend replied, “but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach．You can’t  14   get to all of them．There are   15   too many．And don’t you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this   16  ．Can’t you see that you are not able to make a   17  ?”

The local native  18  , bent down and picked up yet   19   starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he   20  , “Made a difference to that one!”
