Passage39

(江西省南昌大学附属中学2010届高三上学期第五次月考)

The day was Thankful Thursday. It’s a weekly 36________ that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive 37_________ .

My girls shouted “McDonald’s, McDonald’s” as we 38______ along a busy Houston road. Suddenly I 39_________ that almost every crossing I passed through was 40________ by a panhandler(乞丐). And then it hit me all these panhandlers must be hungry too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a (an)41 ________ fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pul42___ a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then we’d say, “ Oh, 43_______ … here’s lunch.”

We handed our finial contribution to a small woman and then immediately 44___________ back in the opposite direction for home. 45_____ , the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was46________ and didn’t know quite how to behave.

She made her way to our car, “ No one has ever done47_________ like this for me before.” She said with­­­48____. Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked,” So, 49_________ do you think you’ll eat your lunch.”

She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said,” Oh honey, I’m not going to eat this lunch.” I was50__________, but before I could say anything, she continued, “You see, I have a little girl and she 51_________ loves McDonald’s, but I don’t have money. But you know what… tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!”

I don’t know if the kids 52_________ the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too 53____________ or insignificant to really effect change. 54________ at that moment, I recognized the 55_________ of Mother Teresa’s words: “We cannot do great things ---only small things with great love.”
