It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were  1.  .The rivers were long gone back into the  2.  .If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true  3.  of sharing and  4.  the only miracle I had seen with my own eyes.

I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. Minutes after he  5.  into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.

I went back to make sandwiches,  6.  that what he had been doing was completed. Moments later,  7.  ,he was once again toward the woods. This  8.  went on for an hour—walked  9.  to the woods, and ran back to the house.

  10.  I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and  11.  him on his journey. As I leaned into spy on him. I saw the most   12.  sight.

When the water was  16.  ,Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had  17.  .Billy opened it all the way up and a small trickle(细流) began to creep out. When he stood up and began to  18.  ,I was there in front of him. His little eyes were just filled with tears.

“I’m not  19.  ,”was all he said.

As the tears that rolled down his face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly  20.  by other drops…more drops…and more.

However, experts remind us that it’s   52   to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that   53   is still owners of tools who’re avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n)   54   to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other.   55   throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.” she said.

When I was in primary school, I got into a major argument with a boy named Tom in my class. I can’t remember what it was about,  21  I have never forgotten the  22  I learned that day.

I was  23  that I was right and he was wrong--and he was sure that I was wrong and he was right. The  24  decided to teach us a very important lesson. My English teacher, Ms Green  25  both of us up to the 26  of the class and  27  him on one side of her desk and me on  28 . In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could  29 see that it was black. She asked the boy what  30  the object was. “White,” he answered.

I couldn’t believe he said the object was white,  31  it was obviously black! Another  32  started between my classmate and me, this time about the  33  of the object.

The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed  34  and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I  35  answer, “White.” It was an object with two  36  colored sides, and from his side it was white.  37  from my side was it black.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must  38  in the other person’s shoes and look at the  39  through their eyes in order to  40  understand their view.
