In my dual (双重的) profession　 __36__　 an educator and health care provider，I have worked with many children infected with HIV. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great　 __37__　 can be found in the smallest individuals. Let me tell you about Tyler.

Tyler was　 __38__　 infected with HIV；his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life，he was dependent on medications to　 __39__　 him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube inserted in a vein(静脉) in his chest. At times, he also needed extra oxygen to support his　 __40__.

Tyler wasn't　 __41__　 to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not　 __42__ to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine?loaded backpack and　 __43__　 his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon (小手推车). All of us who knew Tyler were impressed by his pure　 __44__　 in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often　 __45__　 him by telling him that he moved so　 __46__　 she needed to dress him in red. That way，when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard，she could quickly　 __47__　 him.

This deadly disease eventually　 __48__　 down Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately,　 __49__　 did his HIV?infected mother. When it became　 __50__　 that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about　 __51__. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too，and that she would be with him soon in heaven.

A few days before his death，Tyler　 __52__　 to me to come to his hospital bed and　 __53__，“I might die soon. I'm not　 __54__. When I die，please dress me in　 __55__ . Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too.I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”

Back in the 15th century, in a tiny village in Germany, lived a family with eighteen children．Eighteen! In order 36 to keep food on the table, the father, a goldsmith by 37 , worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade．Despite their seemingly　 38 condition, two of the eldest children had a dream．They both wanted to pursue their talent for art, 39 they knew well that their father would never be able to 40 either of them to study at the Academy．

After many long discussions at night in their 41 bed, the two boys finally worked out a pact．They would toss （掷） a coin．The 　42 　would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, 　43 his winning brother for the academy．Then, in four years, he would support the Other one．Then Albrecht Durer won the toss and 44 to Nuremberg．Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, 　45 his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation．By the time he graduated, he was beginning to　 46 considerable fees for himself．

When the young artist　 47 home and said to his brother, "And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your 　48　 . Now you can go to the Academy to pursue your dream, and I will 49 you．"

Albert rose and wiped the 50 　from his cheeks．"No, brother．I cannot go to Nuremberg．It is too 51　 for me．Look…look what four years in the mines have done to my 52 ! I cannot even hold a glass, much less make delicate lines on canvas　 53 a pen or a brush．"

More than 450 years have 54 ．By now, among Albrecht Durer's hundreds of masterful portraits, "The Praying Hands" is one 55　 creation that can catch the world's hearts．

The “Bystander Apathy Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours ignored --- and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs --- the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that:

(1)　 women are helped more than men;

(2)　 men help more than women;

(3)　 attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.

Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help.

According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:

(1)　 “Shifting of responsibility” --- the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people” there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.

(2)　 “Fear of making a mistake” --- situations are often not clear. People think that those involved in an incident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.

(3)　 “Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”

Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the experiments I’ve seen on intervention（介入）, much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved , and a fight would easily follow.”

Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “the British as a whole have some difficulty intervention, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety. These would be people with a strong moral code or religious ideals.”
