One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “   11   would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be   12  .” As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,   13   all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went   14   and landed in the grass.

My heart went out to him. So, I ran over to him.  15   I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it   16   , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

Kyle was the   17  student of our class, one of those guys that really found  themselves during high school. Therefore he had the   18   to prepare a graduation speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was   19  . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me and smiled.

He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to   20   those who helped you make it through those   21   years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best  22   you can give him.”

I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to   23   himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend   24   me from doing the unspeakable.”

Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the  25   of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse.

In this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the threat of breakdown. Some people suggest that one little – noticed cause may be the introduction of the TV dinner.

       Before the appearance of television seats, the American dinner was a big event for the family. In many homes dinner time may be the only time when everyone got together. A typical dinner was usually in three periods In the preparation period, the children and Father frequently helped with setting while Mother put the last touches on the roast. In the eating period, family members shared the day’s experiences and more than food was eaten. In this period,families got to know one another and made joint decisions around the dinner table, and thus the family solidarity（团结） was strengthened. In the cleaning – up period,children or Father again gave their hands, so that their meaning to the home community was clear. Unfortunately, all of these have been abandoned by a product—the television set.

       By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner was just twenty minutes long. The speed – up of this once – leisurely experiences is clearly connected to the overall pace of modern life and maybe a model of the modern life is the TV dinners—meals designed to be used between the opening and closing credits of a half – hour program.
