One summer in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp.
I first 16 a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obvious 17 and shyness made him appear weak and lonely. Nearby, 200 18 campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere 19 where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel 20 . So I 21 him and said, “Hi, I’m Kevin. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
22 a shaky voice he 23 answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him to join in the activities and 24 some new people. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could 25 that this whole experience was 26 to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to 27 him, either. It was going to take more time and 28 .
The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just sitting alone, 29 out the window.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my 30 about him known. I asked them to pay speci
al attention and spend time with him 31 they could.
The days flew by fast. When the “last dance” came, surprisingly, the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing 32 . He owned the dance floor 33 meaningful time with others. I couldn’t’ believe it was him.
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of 34 every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as 35 as I can, and I advise others to look out for their own “boy under the tree.”

The sun was shining when I got on No.151 Bus. We passengers sat jammed together in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That’s one of the 36 rules, which we take for granted(对…不予重视). 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their 39 .
As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out “ 41 ! This is your driver speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your papers down. All of you.” The 42 came down. “Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go __43 .”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped in a red scarf(围巾).I saw her 44 every day. Our eyes met .We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning neighbor!”
Our voice were 46 .For many of us, these were the 47 words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 48 , to the strangers beside us. We couldn’t help 49 .There was the feeling of relief, that we were not being held up（抢劫）. But more, there was the sense of ice being 50 . “Good morning, neighbor.” It was not so 51 after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, many laughed. The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a warm sound I had never heard before in 53 .
When I reached my stop, I said 54 to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day was 55 off better than most.

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “ 11 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 12 .” As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 13 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 14 and landed in the grass.
My heart went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 15 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 16 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the 17 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the 18 to prepare a graduation speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 19 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to 20 those who helped you make it through those 21 years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best 22 you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 23 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 24 me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the 25 of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse.
