I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someone came knocking on our door. A man was
__36_____ there with a huge box of food, a giant turkey and even some
___37___to cook it in. I couldn’t
___38_____it. My dad demanded, “Who are you? Where are you from?” The stranger announced, “I’m here because a friend of yours knows you’re in need and that you wouldn’t accept
___39_____help, so I’ve brought this for you. Have a great Thanksgiving.” My father said, “No, no, we
___40_____ accept this.” The stranger replied, “You don’t have
___41_____” , closed the door and left.
Obviously that experience had a profound impact(深刻影响)on my life. I
____42____myself that someday I would do well enough financially
___43____ I could do the same thing for other people. By the time I was eighteen I had created my Thanksgiving ritual(习惯). I would go out
__44_____ and buy enough food for one or two
__45_____. Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the
____46____ neighborhood and just knock on a
___47_____ . I always
___48_____ a note that explained my Thanksgiving experience
____49____a kid. The note said, “All that I ask
__50______is that you take good enough care of
__51_____ so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have received more from this annual ritual than I have from any amount of
___52_____ I’ve ever earned.
Years ago I was in New York City with my new wife during Thanksgiving. She was sad because we were not with our family.
___53____she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were
___54_____ in a hotel room. When I told her what I always did on Thanksgiving, she got excited.
We packed enough food for seven families for thirty days and went to buildings where half a dozen people lived in one room with no electricity and no heat in winter surrounded by rats, cockroaches(蟑螂)and the smell of urine(尿). It was both an
___55______realization that people lived in this way and a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference.
