On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking back home from a pizza store. We had bought many things. We were dressed  26 , and I was feeling a little  27   as I was carrying our shopping, so I decided to throw something away. I was walking towards a dustbin（垃圾箱）  28   I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of us. He headed over to the nearby dustbin and started looking through it. I suddenly felt very   29   because I was about to throw away a new drink just because it was too heavy. I walked up to him and handed the  30   and some bread over to him. The man looked up  31   and took what I gave him. A huge smile   32   on his face. I felt I couldn’t be happier with33  . But then he said, “Wow, this is my son’s lucky day!” With that, he thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I   34   heard him singing as he rode away. I got a warm 35   inside. I now understand what it   36   by the saying “Giving is getting”.

    37   it was only a little action, I got and learned more in those two minutes than I did in the rest of the month. Everyone in the world   38 help. Everyone can give help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness.

The scene of that man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind   39  I have the chance to do something nice. This is the power（力量）of   40 .

I had been a high school teacher for six years and had watched a lot of TV shows about solving cases (破案). I was about to begin my dream    35   , something I had wanted for a long, long time.

When one of the officers followed me out, I couldn’t wait to ask, “Did I pass, sir?” “No,” he said angrily. “What? Why?” I wondered. He then    41    at his shirt and shouted, “See this?   42    shots! Luckily they were paintballs. I didn’t wear any protective gear (装备) because I was just in the corner to    43    you.”

I said sorry to the officer and told him that I was not terrible at other police trainings and I always scored a high mark when we    44    telling someone that their family member had died. “That’s good,” he said. “Because when you accidentally    45    someone with the way you did, you will be able to tell the family very nicely how they died.” In the end, after nine months of what is usually a six-month course, I realized that people around me would be a lot better off if I    46    to teaching.

I am now the Head of Department for English at a high school. The words of the Rolling Stones spring to mind: You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.
