My friend Jenny from Germany spent some time traveling in India. She 36 the country so much that she always got attracted to it. While there, she stayed with Leela, her friend who was Indian. 37 the gazes that she got as a foreigner, Jenny always had language problems. It was very difficult for her to 38 in this new environment and culture that had so many subtle (细微的) 39 from her own country.
One day, a 40 thing happened. Along with Leela, she went to visit an orphanage. All the children there were tiny; each one fell 41 between the ages of fifteen days to one-and-a-half years old.
After some initial(最初的) 42 , Jenny slowly went to the kids and sat beside them. After some time, one of the kids smiled at her. She felt 43 a little, and she was immediately 44 towards that child.
She slowly held the child and started singing a rhyme in 45 . The small child continued to smile and started 46 after her. The words that escaped the little mouth were much different from those that Jenny hummed, but the 47 was the same.
Wanting to join in the 48 , another kid went up to Jenny and started humming the rhyme. They shared a million 49 together.
50 Leela's eyes on her, she blurted( 脱口而出) an explanation straight from her heart: “See, I don't have
51 problems here. We speak; we communicate!”
And she continued with her rhyme 52 she didn’t want to disturb the child’s smile.
That day, it was 53 for Leela and the others in the orphanage to see such a heartwarming scene. In that moment, she understood: we're all simply human, and we have the ability to 54 with each other; it's 55 , and comes from deep inside.

My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.
It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.
I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.
When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.
The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion(热爱) and intensity(强度). I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick(帚柄).
