One very cold and rainy night in the winter of 2012, my husband and I were in a fast food restaurant. We were about to begin our meal  36 a man walked in. He was completely  37 from the rain and went into the men's room.

I watched him go by, then I said to my husband, "That man must have had nothing to eat in a long time." When the man came out of the men's room, he just  38 himself in a chair, not going anywhere near the food counter. I  39 that he didn't have any money for food and  40 wanted to dry off for a while.

I just couldn't eat my food knowing that someone else was sitting  41 only a few tables away. So, I  42 a $20.00 bill from my shopping money to my husband. "Please get him dinner," I said. "We can do with less money this week."

My husband  43 the man and quietly asked if he needed some food. The man    44  at us. "A small cup of coffee would be great," he said. "Thank you so much!" He   45  wasn't going to take advantage of us, but we 46  that he should have a full meal, which he gratefully(感激地)  47 .

After he  48 the food, he thanked my husband and my husband said, "No. Thank my  49 . She noticed that you were  50 ." 

The man asked me, " 51 did you know I haven't eaten in a long time?" I smiled at him and said nothing , just asking him to  52 the change(零钱) from the $20.00.

Giving others a  53  whenever they’re in trouble not only brings happiness to the ones who  54 it but also to the ones who give it. I am so grateful that I was able to  55 with someone truly in need. It is a little bit of extra warmth on a rainy day.

It was on a winter past midnight of 1971 when I was driving our big V8 station wagon back to our hometown. Next to me, my husband was  36  asleep and snoring (打鼾) loudly.

It was true that he worked sixty or more hours per week, and then in the evenings he worked as my dance  37 . We had to travel away from home for the dance classes on four, or   _38  five nights per week, and then he 39  have to be up and about again by six of the following dawn to get to his  40  job.

I studied the road up ahead and  49  in the near view mirror. There was not a car 50 a black night ahead and behind me. There were no Officers of the Law to be seen, and so I 51 the speed by another ten miles per hour. I had no great need for a speeding ticket, but I wanted to get home as quickly as I could.

"Get into the other lane!" sounded a loud and  52  voice.

I swiftly changed lanes, and as I did, a car without headlights pulled from the side of the road. I screamed at the top of my lungs, "I  53  that car by mere inches! The fool! Where did he come from?" The car that would have caused our death was now just a blur of an image (模糊的图像) in my rear view mirror. Instantly I knew where he had come from.

       My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this 36.

       One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and 37. All the students were working on a task. The student next to me was 38 her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was already half 39 and she showed no signs of stopping. I walked down the row and found 40 was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.

       By this time the activity aroused my 41, so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on but I noticed she too was 42 writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” ------ I felt it best not to 43 her.

       After another ten minutes, the students were 44 to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna added hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out of the door. Students followed the teacher. I 45 the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to 46. The box of “I Can’ts ” was placed at the 47 of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced,“ Boys and girls, please join hands and drop your heads.” They 48 formed a circle around the grave.

       Donna delivered the eulogy（悼辞）. “Friends, we are 49 here today to honor the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is 50 by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in 51. Amen!”

       She turned the students around and marched them 52 into the classroom. They celebrated the passing away of “53”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student forgot and said, “I Can’t,” Donna 54 pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was 55 and chose other statement.
