I remember the first time I saw Gretchen Buchenholz doing what she does best. It was the fall of 2002, and she was standing at the door of a New York day-care 　26 that she’d founded for disadvantaged and special-needs 　27 . A stream of little kids was entering the building, and some were 　28 walkers (学步车). Gretchen knelt down 　29 each child, greeting each by name and saying 　30 personal. The kids smiled happily and their little 　31 lit up.

　 It was at that time that I made my final decision to 　32 my job as a lawyer. I had decided to 　　　__33__ as director of community affairs for the Association to Benefit Children (ABC), the nonprofit (非赢利的) group that Gretchen started 20 years ago. When I was 　34 , my family had often been helped by others. Mom always told us that we should help the 　35__ when we grew up.

　 The story of how Gretchen started ABC is quite amazing. In 1984, she was on her way to a government office to get a day-care permit, but by accident, she entered a room where homeless families were waiting to be 　36 in a “welfare hotel”. She saw three babies. The babies wore no diapers (尿布) as their parents couldn’t 　37 any. After talking to the 　38 and learning they and their babies were 　__39 , Gretchen went out and bought bread, peanut butter, apple juice and diapers. Then she started making phone calls. She dialed the American Red Cross, City Hall and The New York Times. Finally, she helped set up housing for them and other homeless 　40 like them.

　 I wish there were more people like her.

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could 　21 tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 　22 in class.

　　　 When I took the first exam, I was 　23 to find a 77 C-plus, on my test paper, but English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained unmoved.

　　　 I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that 　24 because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I 　25 with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his 　26 .

　　　 One more test before the final exam. One more 　27 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, 　28 the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 　29 did no good and everything went as before.

　　　 The last hurdle was the final. No matter what 　30 I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 　31 goodbye.

　　　 I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 　32 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have fun with a test.

　　　 A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He 　33　 to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you 　34 , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”

　　　 I stared at him, 　35 that his analysis and strategy were correct. I had worked my head off, as I had never done before.

　　　 I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
