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____ neighbourhood 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 do 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 this way and a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference.

I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone.

In the era of high-tech today, face-to-face conversation is dying.
The New York Times published an article recently that shows great 36 for the “death of conversation”. It 37 that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more 38 than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.
Users get final connectivity 39 the price of 40 face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are 41 to a different way of being “alone together”.
Actually, 42 text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to 43 thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot 44 a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The give and take of 45 in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that 46 ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and 47 people.
Turkle mentioned the popular 48 of “I share, therefore I am.” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s an attitude 49 by most young people. They are 50 busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a 51 life.
However, experts remind us that it’s 52 to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that 53 is still owners of tools who’re avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n) 54 to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other. 55 throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.” she said.
