A while ago my family and I went sledding（滑雪橇）and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are 1 that most of today’s social problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no 2 to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 3 there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a 4 side. I watched my two oldest children （then five and four） take my youngest （then two years old） by the hand to help her up the slippery slope 5 they went up. They would have been 6 without her, but not once did they try to sneak by her without helping. And when the sled 7 my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to 8 them falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes 9 among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can 10 them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to 11 some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children 12 on the sideline （作为旁观者）and know that they will befriend them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame 13 much of society’s problems – not the youngsters who want everything, 14 the adults who have taught them to selfishly 15 only of themselves.
Most adults have been 16 at some time or another, sadly, many 17 that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can 18 that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 19 of bumps （撞伤） and bruises （擦伤）, but we can all make it to the 20 if we remember to help those who need it.

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?

One Sunday, a picture in the newspaper touched me. A young woman stood in front of a totally destroyed home. A little boy stood beside her with his head 36 . Holding her skirt tightly was a tiny girl, eyes wide with 37 and fear.
With growing 38 I noticed that their sizes of each family member closely 39 ours. This would be a good opportunity to 40 my children, so I explained their difficult 41 to my seven-year-old twins and three-year-old Meghan.
“We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing,” I said, “we’ll 42 what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously 43 the boys and I filled one box with canned food.
While I 44__ our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 45 some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched 46 as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.
“I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.
The boys placed the toys they had 47 to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll 48 tightly to her chest. She 49 in front of the box, pressed her little face into Lucy’s face, gave her a 50 kiss, then, laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, honey,” I said. “You 51 to give away Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded, eyes shining with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. 52 she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”
I stared at Meghan for a long moment, 53 how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.
It’s easy to give what we don’t want any more, but 54 to let go of things we cherish, isn’t it? 55 , the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.
