A lesson in caring
It was a cold evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora    36    . She wasn’t even four, but she   37    at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”
I don’t remember my   38    . But I do remember a sudden   39    feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her   40     , whether it was     41    flying or children playing. But now she was noticing   42    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   43     it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was   44    about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how   45    our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to    46    myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge (强烈愿望) to turn    47    . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this?   48    , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She   49    us right over.
The building was in a bad 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.   50     inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged. I walked home    51    .
Professionals call such a(n)   52    “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities and I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something    53     that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and   54     clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve    55     her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s   36 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so   37   that I decided to write an article about her.
I   38   Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She   39   and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I   40   I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there   41 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that   42   Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The   43   was almost unbearable. I struggled for days   44   draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript   45 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I   46   in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t   47   the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While   48   my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in   49 :
Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some   50   materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to   51   your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to   52 . Fear of rejection cost mely. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of   53   writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this   54 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t   55   to doubt yourself.

My father believed that there was mysterious forces at work in the world. One day, when he was lecturing me on these tales, a neighbour woman suddenly entered, with two geese in hands. She smiled   21   and looked frightened.
