Surfing: It’s Not Just for Boys Any More

If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I am one of the few girls who would   21  : surfing(冲浪运动). But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people  　22　　 . 　Most certainly not.

I started surfing about five years ago and   23  in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding the first   24   was the best feeling I had ever experienced.

When I try to   25   surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my   2—___26   , there’s nothing like it. It involves(牵涉到) body and  27  . There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt   28  all around us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing   29   that water, becoming one with the   30  , is like I’m weightless.

The one thing I can   31   from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean  32  an too many kinds of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive(活跃有力的) and   33 . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it   34   from any other sport.

I’ve    35   to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new   36  , so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start   37 __the limits of things boys and men used to dominate(主宰)?

There’re women   38   side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys   39  the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to   40  , and they will.

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?
