When I was nine, my family and some friends took a trip. During the trip some members of the group felt  41 , so we stopped at a small stand (摊位). Everyone lined up to buy their food.

  42 , after I finished eating, I was still a little hungry and wanted some  43 . Soon I was sure my parents wouldn’t  44 me any candy. "I have to think of a plan," I thought. Then an old lady  45 to buy something she wanted, and would have to get back in line. I knew what I could do. So I rushed to her and volunteered my  46 . She   47 and gave me a $20 bill to get some chips.

When I reached the stand, I found  48 from our group was around. Then I spent the  49  $20 buying the candy. I thought  50 , "I have almost bought all the candy for the next century!" But then, I  51 I should explain to the old lady why I bought no chips and where the whole bill had gone.   52 , an idea occurred to me. So I shouted, "I was robbed!" Upon  53  this, the old lady rushed to me to see if I  54 any harm. However, my parents just stayed behind, without any  55 . With so much candy being found in my bag, they knew I was  56 ! When my daddy stared at me angrily, I knew I had to tell the  57 . As a result, I was blamed and had to apologize to the old lady for my  58 action. Later, I had to work during the whole summer holiday to  59 the old lady back that $20. From this  60  , I learned a lesson. I also promised that I would never do it again in the future.

A lesson in caring

       It was a cold evening and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside cardboard box. But Nora did. She wasn’t even four, but she 1 at my coat and said, “That man’s cold, Daddy.  2  we take him home?”

       I don’t remember my reply. But I do remember a sudden 3 feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her 4 , whether it was birds 5 flight or children playing. But now she was noticing 6 and beggary.

       A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and 7 it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy .I   8  us up. Nora was  9   about it .She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how 10 our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to 11 myself to leave the house. On the way to the school, I fought an urge(强烈愿望) to turn 12 .The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting at home. Why do this? 13, we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She  14  us right over.

       The building was in a sad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. 15  inside, I saw the apartment belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say good-bye, we three hugged(拥抱). I walked home in tears.

       Professionals call such a(n) 16 a “volunteer opportunity.” They are opportunities, I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something 17 that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and 18clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve 19her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has 20  more?
