We make a living with what we get, but we make a life with what we give.

--- Winston Churchill（温斯顿 丘吉尔）

   When I first   41    into the waiting room on the ground floor, I was very    42    that I would be spending my entire summer with kids. As it became   43   for me to show up every day at 8 a.m., many kids began to   44   me. To my surprise, I    began looking forward to seeing their    45   faces as well.

Recently, I have volunteered for a month. I have been asked to    51   on many different floors besides the waiting room where I  52   . The kids on the floors above are usually there for a longer time.Despite their anxiety and desire to get better and go home, they always offer me a（n）  53  smile. I feel renewed about   54   a day with them because I realize that there is much more to   55   than money. It is much more important to love and to be loved.
