It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining£¨±§Ô¹£©about it, three people appeared at my desk ¡ª a tired woman and two children.
![]()
¡°Are you all sick?¡± I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.
¡°Yes,¡± the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.
But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending£¨¼Ù×°£©to cough.
Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. ¡°Take your time, please,¡± said the mother. I checked their charts ¡ª no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.
The family huddled£¨òéËõ£©together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses¡¯ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses¡¯ station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for ¡°a Christmas emergency£¨¼±Õ¡±.
We took out our meals for our Christmas ¡°patients¡±. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We tried to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, ¡°Thanks for being our angel£¨Ììʹ£©.¡±

One sunny spring morning, Clark and I were 1. in the school library. Then I looked out of the 2. and saw Mr. White, my English teacher crossing the school yard. ¡°I don¡¯t want to meet him,¡± I said. ¡°Why 3. ?¡± asked Clark. ¡°He just doesn¡¯t like me.¡± I explained.
Clark thought for a second and said, ¡°Maybe you¡¯ve got it wrong. He probably 4. you don¡¯t like him, so he¡¯s not 5. to you. People like people who like them. If you show interest in him, he 6. be interested in you. Get to talk to him.¡±
At last I walked down and greeted Mr. White warmly. He looked at 7. , surprised. And then we laughed together and talked happily. I could imagine Clark watching8. the window, smiling.
Learn to 9. people first. You¡¯ll find that the light you shine on others will soon be shining back at you even 10. brightly.
