The first time I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He 31 me with a puzzle—all because he waved to me like someone does 32 seeing a close friend. A big, 33 smile accompanied(伴随) his wave. For the next few days I tried to 34 　his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had 35 me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the 36 that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.

Then one day the 37 was solved. As I 38 the school he was standing in the middle of the road 39 his stop sign. I was in the line behind four cars. 40 the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars 41 . To the first he waved and 42 just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same 43 from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff- looking (表情刻板的) businessman, gave a brief,（简洁的） almost 44 wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school 45 more heartily.

Every morning I continued to watch the man with 46 . So far I haven’t seen anyone 47 to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a 48 to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His 49 armed the start of my day. With a friendly wave and smiling face he had changed the 50 of the whole neighborhood.

Hey! It's going to be Mother's day again. Have you planned something good for your Mama? If not, try even one of these tips.

Make Your Mama Proud

　　What special talents do you have? Maybe this is the right time to show it to her. She would be very proud and surprised if she'd realized that you have something that she doesn't expect.

　　What's Her Favorite?

　　Most teens don't know what their mama's favorite. You do? Then, what are you waiting for ? Buy her some of her favorite stuff and put a little twist on it. Make it more special.

　　The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it. And, maybe, a little tear may fall down from her cheeks.

　　The Memories

　　Our mothers have special memories in mind. Those are the times that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Maybe you can tell her about the time she got mad at you because you did something that you thought is right but since that day forward you realized your mistakes. Or, you can tell her how happy you are when she was there during your painful days in your life.

　　Be Her

　　What does she look like if she is so exhausted and angry and tired? What does she do for your family? This is the right time to show her the things that she usually does at home. Try to imitate her voice when she is angry. Make your face as if you are her when she is mad.

　　Treat a Queen

　　Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off by being a servant to her.

　　Make-Over Beauty

　　Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, especially in the family, she doesn't look great any more. Admit it! Most mothers are not into trends anymore because their focusing on us.

　　Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look GLAMOROUS!

　　Have Some of Your Time

　　It's the cheapest but a meaningful way. Most of us are busy from our work, friends, boy/girl friends, school. We stay home late and after several hours, we go out again.

　　Have you ever had a meaningful time with your mother where you don't think or talk about problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her from the life she gave to you, the time she took care of you, and for every suffering she'd felt for you? Have you ever told her that you love her?

Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow nor today. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?
