Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for ___________ .

Just before September, Miller was hit by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from ___________ . He looked very _______, but he didn’t cry.

That season, I _________ all of Miller’s records while he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, but I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame(因……受责备)for Miller’s _________ .

One afternoon, I was _________ the field to go home and saw Miller got stuck when he was going over a fence— which wasn’t hard to climb if you had ___________ arms. I’m sure I was the ___________ person in the world he wanted to accept help from. But even that challenge he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally ___________ on the other side, he said to me, “you know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did___________.Thank you for filling in for ____________ .”

Each Friday, my son's kindergarten(幼儿园)class has “a prize day”. All the children who do well in the week can get a prize. The children have behavior cards. The cards start out green every morning, but are changed from green to yellow, orange and finally to red if they do something wrong. Most of the children never change their cards from green.

On many Fridays, a boy named Tommy often walks out with an unsmiling face because he has had a bad day or two that week. Tommy is a naughty boy and he often causes trouble. Other children would tell their parents, “Tommy got angry, ” or “Tommy didn't listen to the teacher, ” or “Tommy got trouble today.” But recently, things have become much better for Tommy. My son reports proudly each day, “All GREEN today.”

Last night, after I kissed him goodnight, he said he was very excited because tomorrow was a prize day. “And I hope, hope, hope that Tommy stays on green!” My heart was filled with pride. I told my son how kind it was of him to think of Tommy rather than caring about his own prize.
