A lesson in caring

It was a cold evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora    36    . She wasn’t even four, but she   37    at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”

    I don’t remember my   38    . But I do remember a sudden   39    feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her   40     , whether it was     41    flying or children playing. But now she was noticing   42    and beggary.

    A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and   43     it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was   44    about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how   45    our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to    46    myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge (强烈愿望) to turn    47    . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this?   48    , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She   49    us right over.

    The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed.   50     inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged. I walked home    51    .

Professionals call such a(n)   52    “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities and I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something    53     that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and   54     clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve    55     her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?

A. did                     B. was                          C. has            D. had

A. general        B. funny                       C. heavy         D. magical

A. web         B. dream         C. castle         D. world

A. insects                   B. animals          C. plants   D. birds

A. coldness        B. illness           C. suffering  D. appearance

A. sent               B. returned         C. devoted   D. posted

A. concerned              B. sorry             C. worried       D. excited

A. creative         B. valuable         C. shocking  D. simple

A. warn         B. stop           C. allow    D. push

A. back           B. away              C. up     D. out

A. Therefore       B. But                 C. Anyhow  D. Also

A. requested       B. promised         C. invited    D. helped

Ban the Band(乐队)?

    Every year, our school has a dance for all the students. It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful  36  , instead of the usual school uniform.

     Most of us think the dance is great  37  -even the teachers enjoy being there.   38  , two weeks ago someone said that there would be no  39  band this year only CDs.

     “I don’t  40  it!” Amy cried out during the lunch break.

     “Someone said the school couldn’t  41  a band, and they think it’s too noisy anyway,” added Daniel.

     “Well, I don’t think it’s  42  enough without a band!” declared Angela, “and I’m going to see what can be done.”

      Angela was as good as her  43  . In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the  44  some more thought. And he suggested that one  45  for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to  46  out whether the students would like to do that.

     “I need all of you to help me,” she  47  to our group before school the next day. “Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each one their   48  about the band and the extra cost.”

        49  the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much  50  there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.

      “I’m surprised,” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the  51  . “I really thought that only a few people  52  their band and that the cost would be too high. OK, Angela, your next  53  is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”

Angela was all smiles and  54  the news to Amy and Daniel. “You’re  55  ,” smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.
