Not too long ago, an incident that happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly. A guest 1 out of our Polynesian Village resort(度假胜地)at Walt Disney was asked how she 　2 her visit. She told the front-desk clerk she had had a(n) 3 vacation, but was heartbroken about　 4 several rolls of Kodak color film she had not yet 　5 . At that moment she was particularly 　6 over the loss of the pictures she had shot at our Polynesian Luau, 　7 this was a memory she especially treasured.

Now, please understand that we have no written service rules 8 lost photos in the park. 9 , the clerk at the front desk 　10 Disney’s idea of caring for our 　11 . She asked the woman to leave her a couple rolls of 　12 film, promising she would take care of the rest of our show at Polynesian Luau.

Two weeks later the guest received a 13 at her home. In it were photos of all the actors of our show, 　14 signed by each performer. There were also 　15 of the public procession (游行队伍) and fireworks in the park, taken by the front-desk clerk in her own 16 after work. I happened to know this 17 because this guest wrote us a letter. She said that 　18 in her life had she received such good service from any business.

Excellent 　19 does not come from policy (政策性的)handbooks. It comes from people who　 20 —and from a culture that encourages and models that attitude.

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic 　 1 ; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I’ll never forget the words she said, even　 2 it was a pretense.

She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very　 3　 . She didn’t listen to a 　 4 I said or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was 5　 she’d been put there to sit alone and　 6 .

My daughter 7 her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never　 8 me do the things that I just have to do.

She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot 9 . And she doesn’t know　10 to fold towels. I don’t have the　 11 to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play— 12 what I mean?”

And that day I thought a lot about making some 13 in my life, as I listened to her 14 words that cut me like a knife. I hadn’t been paying enough attention to what I hold most 15　 . I’d been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the year.

But now my 16　 has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different 17　 through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs（蜘蛛网） 18　 the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them 19 .

I’m going to fill the house with　 20 of a child and her mother, for we are granted only one childhood, and we will never get another.
