Last year,I learned from a newspaper that some sick kids needed help.I phoned the newspaper and I was asked to 1 little girl named Lisa,who had mental illness.
A short time later,I went for a 2 to Lisa.After having been at the mental hospital for years,she had recently been allowed to be at home.In the beginning,I did most of the 3 ndline.Lisa,however,was too quiet and introverted(内向的),shyly sitting in the corner of the sofa and listening.She was careful not to allow our eyes to 4 ndline.Over time,Lisa felt more comfortable little by little while I was 5 ndline.Our weekly get togethers usually 6 sharing a cup of hot coffee,window shopping or taking slow walks in the country.
Lisa 7 discussed how she felt about our friendship,even after we completed our first year together.However,she knew she could always 8 me.
Then one day I got a call from our volunteer group.“Mary,would you and Lisa like to be interviewed on a local TV news show?”Excited,I answered,“Wow!Let me discuss it with Lisa.”I didn't think Lisa would be 9 going on“live”television.But to my surprise,Lisa wanted to be interviewed,too.
At the interview,she said,“10 I can help other people understand how important our 11 is.and how it has helped me,maybe they'll volunteer,too.Mary,wouldn't that be great?”with tears running down,we smiled at one another.
From then on,Lisa never 12 a chance to plant seeds (种子)about the volunteer group with others.Her face lit up whenever she talked about our special friendship.
Not long ago,I made up my mind to read a lot of books to get more knowl-edge.So I went to the library and 1 happily with several books.But after a few days,I felt impatient.The 2 of finishing all of them seemed impossible,be-cause I always found it 3 to calm down to read a whole book.I didn't know what to do with it.Then 4 one day I thought of“Why not make reading fun?” It gave me 5 again.Reading is a journey of spirit.we are actually talking 6 the writer.I tried to put all my effort into his or her books, 7 I could feel all of his or her happiness and suffering.Now books have become a part of my life.See? Attitude(态度)can make a great 8 . Someone once said.“Even though the situation is bad,people still have one freedom(自由) to 9 their attitude.”So,don't complain about study or work.It helps 10. Try to see things from a different way.Believe me;this will change the situation and help you a lot.
