It was 8:30 and I was lying in the sun, listening to my CD.

Then my mum came out. She wanted me to go out with her. She told me about this place called Give Kids the World. It’s a special place for 　35 to spend a vacation when a child had a life-threatening (致命的) illness. There were several jobs 　36 did there, including gift giving and ice-cream 　37　 . Mum said I would enjoy it, but I expected this was a 　38 job.

I got in the car and Mum drove to this place. There was a house in the village that we went into to do our work. I had to put some 　39 on the back of a golf cart (高尔夫球车). Mum told me we were going to take a toy and an ice-cream to every child in the village.

We got to the first house and I knocked on the door and shouted, “Gift Giving”, and a woman answered it. Sitting in the middle of the living room was a boy in a wheelchair. I gave him the gifts, and his face lighted up with 　40 . I walked out and thought, “That must be painful, unable to jump around.”

As I came into the second house with gifts, it seemed a little strange that the child didn’t 　41 me. Her mum said she was deaf and only partially (部分地) sighted, so I needed to go and stand in front of her. When I 　42 that, she became very excited and made a sign with her hands. Her mum told me this was the sign for 　“ 43 ”.

44 back in the cart, Mum told me these kids might not live to see tomorrow. Suddenly, I 　45 I should be more thankful that I don’t have these illnesses — that I was not in the same 　46 as these kids. I no longer wanted to be at home listening to my CDs. I would rather be doing this, maybe making a difference in these kids’ lives.

Mrs. Green opened the door so hard that the door almost broke. Then she looked 　26 the window and saw her neighbor, an old lady, crossing the yard. “She is in my 　27 again. Those are my strawberries, not　　 28 . Maybe I should call the police.”

Her friend, Alice, was sitting at the table 　29 a cup of coffee in her hands. “You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.

“Of course,” Mrs. Green answered angrily. “What would you do if your neighbor walked into your garden　 30 your permission(允许) and picked your strawberries?”

“I would say, it’s better than the bees.” Alice answered.

“The bees don’t take my strawberries, but the 　31 does,” said Mrs. Green.

Alice said, “That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and she 　32 picks some bad ones. Why 　33 you pick some of your good strawberries and give 　34 to her?”

“Are you crazy?”

“I don’t think so. Don’t you remember what happened when you were 　35 in hospital last year? She went to see you with some chicken soup. If you give her the strawberries, you can tell her that you still 　36　 that.”

Mrs. Green felt very guilty (内疚). She was so 　37 that she almost forgot what the old lady had done for her. Then she picked a basket of good 　38 and went to see her 　39 . Through the window, Alice could see that the anger（愤怒）on Mrs. Green’s face changed into(变成) a big 　40 .
