In 2002, when my father was transferred(调动)to the US to work there for seven months,
I had to attend school there, so I was upset. How would I, an eight-year-old girl from India, make
Friends in America?
On my first day at Anna Silver Public School, I      Miss Alice McNally, my class teacher, who couldn’t get my name      --- although she tried hard, she usually called me Diya or Diva instead of Divya. But she      to speak to me in a way that was easy for me---slowly,       words clearly---to get me used to the American   . When discovering that I enjoyed     , she took me to meet the art teacher. Miss McNally made sure that I was in perfect harmony with her class, and I had as much      as any schoolgirl could have from school.
When my father was transferred back to India, I had to    Anna Silver Public School. I was going to leave before a scheduled fishing trip, and I’d      the class photo session(集会) too. Therefore, with a heavy heart, I left my school and the US. Back in Kerala, I received a        
Surprise one day---a package in which Miss McNally and my twenty-four former classmates had written me a letter each,      me about the fishing trip and interesting things that happened while taking the class photo. Miss McNally added, “Keep up with your drawing, since you love it so much.” Miss McNally not only made a     little girl feel at home in a faraway country, but also taught me and the others, at an early age, the importance of being kind to others.

For centuries, magicians have used various ways to shock the audience. We all have seen how a   36  performer carefully steps   37  a bed of burning coals -- barefoot. Then he walks across   38  a single burn on his feet. Is it mind over matter, or is it just physics? As it turns   __39 , walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as   40 . “The coals are hot enough to   41__  you, but if you walk quickly across them you   42  being burned.” says Jonathan Hall, a physician at Penn State University in Eric Pennsylvania.
That’s because some coals are made   43   burning wood chips. Wood has two   44__   properties(特性)for fire-walking, explains Hall. First, wood is an insulator(绝缘体)--it doesn’t   __45  heat very well. “It   46 _ time for heat to travel   47  the wood to your feet.” Hall says. If the performer walked across red-hot metal   48 , that would truly be   49 , because metal conducts, or transmits, heat very well. The metal would   50  burn a performer’s feet.
Second, wood has a low specific heat-- it doesn’t take much heat to   51  its temperature. Heat is a form of   52 . Temperature is a   53  of heat, in units of degrees. So   54  the coals are hot, the value(数值)of heat energy they contain is low. Thus, a well-trained performer can   55  such an amazing result.
Still, you don’t want to walk on burning coals, do you?

While we were     for the red light to turn green, I noticed a man outside a couple of      in front of ours trying to sell bottles of water. It’s       unusual at first.

My mother and I started our morning by rushing into the local grocery store. I waited in line at the Starbucks counter while she        around to pick up a few things. 
As I was        there I noticed an elderly woman, wearing layers (层)        layers of old torn clothing, moving behind me in line.
She had a few toiletries(化妆品)and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to       since our queue was shorter than the grocery store queues were. 
At some point I became       of her moving closer behind me –it was         than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地)      a hand over my purse and drew it closer to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild         about this homeless woman who might try to          from me.
Then it was my         to order. As the cashier rang up my total I discovered I was 37 cents        . I called to my mother but she is hard of hearing. She asked me to         what I said but she still couldn't          me out.
At that point, a long grey arm, with         in its sleeves,          over from behind me. She laid 37 cents out on the counter, saying, "Here, We all need some        sometimes."
I was         ! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to         and in great need herself. I had judged her         and she had reached out, voluntarily, to help me! 
What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about         others. Thank You, God!!
