  In college I had a part-time job at the shop downtown that sold doughnuts(a kind of oil-fried cake)and coffee.  1   on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their   2  

  I   3   coffee in takeout cups and patiently waited on customers who'd point through the glass case and say,“No, not that one, the one two rows over.”

  Every afternoon around four o'clock, a group of school children would   4   into the shop.Adults would glance in, see the crowd and   5   on.I didn't   6   if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.

  I came to know them pretty well.The older girls would tell me about their boyfriends; the younger ones would talk about school.The boys were more quiet, choosing not to   7   their secrets, but still, they'd wait every day in the store   8   their bus came.

  Sometimes I'd   9   bus fare when a ticket went missing-always repaid the next day.When it snowed, the kids and I would wait anxiously for a very   10   bus.They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay.At   11   time I'd lock the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived.

  I   12   a lot of doughnuts on snowy days.I enjoyed my pals, but it never   13   to me that I played an important part in their lives until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man entered the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock.I   14   it was true, and he introduced himself   15   the father of two of my favorites a brother and sister team.

  I want you know I appreciate what you do for my children.I   16   about them having to take two buses to get home.It   17   a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping an eye on them.

  I told him it wasn't a big   18  , that I enjoyed the kids.

  “No, you don't understand.When they're with the doughnuts lady, I know they're   19  .It is a big deal.And I'm grateful.”

  So I was the Doughnuts Lady.I not only had received a   20  , I had become a landmark.

Kidsin a Sudanese refugee(难民)camp stir up a cloud of dust as they kick around a football.

    Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil.Or maybe he just wants to do something—anything—to give these children some hope.But he is told,politely, that grass is not what the kids need.

    This scene appears in 3 Point,a new documentary, which shows the Houston Rockets star coming face—to-face with the reality that life is more than sport.

    McGrady,29,writes on his website that traveled to Africa because he was tired of only reading about it in news.“Who were the faces behind the statistics?” He said.“I needed to see it for myself.”

suffering.And he swallowed his pride.

    But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a pitch of grass.Sport gave him a chance,so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees.

McGrady was eyed by NBA managers as a teenager and he didn’t bother going to college.Instead,he leaped right into the NBA.Since that move,basketball has given him a handsome living,but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people

Only McGrady knows how this Africa trip changed him,but I’d bet that,at the very least,

it has given him a new sense for what is truly meaningful.

   McGrady doesn’t own an NBA championship ring.He hasn’t risen to the heights of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan.But,perhaps,now he knows he doesn’t have to in order to truly make a difference in the world.
