My father’s friend Jane recently related a story to us. Due to some unfortunate circumstance her sister Cathy was left in the snow,far away from her cabin and companions during a trip to mountains. She was 1        because a man on his snow plow (伊雪车) found her and took her to a 2     at 2:00 am.

  The hospital first 3        Cathy was dead because she had been 4        in the snow for hours. But luckily,they were able to revive (使复苏) her. Cathy has been in hospital 5      .When she woke up,the doctor couldn’t 6 Jane that Cathy would be as 7        as before,but it seemed that she would be okay and back to normal 8     

  Jane was 9        of money,and she got into trouble since she needed to 10        her sister’s hospital fees. Today she came to ask if my father could 11        her a few hundred dollars,since her employer didn’t give all her salary in advance 12        the situation.

  My father was 13        to give only $ 150 to her. I’m only a college student. I don’t have too much 14        of my own,but I was thinking about what I could do to help her. Finally I managed to 15        together $ 100 from my own money and passed it to her. She was really surprised,but also 16        grateful,and I felt happy that I could help ease someone else’s 17     in time of need.

  It may not be a huge 18        of kindness,but I felt great that I could be there to 19        someone—emotionally and financially. It always reminds me that I can reach out to those in need 20        I am not wealthy!
