Question

My first memories of acts of kindness are from when I was about 12 years old. I always 　36 people as soon as possible with whatever they needed. At that time, I noticed that many 　37 people had difficulty going to the grocery (杂货店) store 　38 a snowstorm. I would spend part of a 　39 Saturday knocking on my aged neighbors’ house doors to ask if they 　40 anything from the store. The 　41 was down a hill and I would bring back a couple of bags of necessities (必需品) for them. I liked it and it made them so 　42 , too.

I 　46 asked for money for what I had done for them, but sometimes the old ladies would 　47 the change in my pocket secretly. The next time I would buy some flowers or cards for them. When I went to college, many of these people would 　48 my mother about me, 　49 my mother didn’t always know who they were. It was through those 　50 between my mother and these people that she 　51 what I used to do for them — I had never told her. I 　52 helping others when I was 12 and it 　53 until today. Now, I’m a teacher and teaching my students the art of true 　54 . I originally wrote this for my profile, but my mother said why not 　55 it with everyone. I hope this inspires younger people and the older in a similar way.
