Many years ago I drove a taxi for extra money. I drove mainly from the downtown to the 16 , beside the Greenwood Racetrack which was in operation at that time.
Each time a taxi drove up to the station, many kids would run along the 17 to the passenger door. One 18 kid would open the passenger door and say, “ 19 , sir.” The passenger would always say thanks and give the kid a 20 on his way from the taxi to the entrance of the track. It was a routine that everybody knew.
One day I noticed a boy, who was 21 than most of them but was pushed away by even the smallest kid. He never pushed back. 22 , he would even step aside when others pushed forward. But he never 23 .
Then one morning as I was 24 to the sidewalk, all the other kids were running after a taxi 25 mine. They didn’t notice mine.
The boy saw me and walked toward my taxi. As I pulled up I made sure that I stopped in a 26 with the passenger door right beside him. He 27 the passenger door with a flourish(夸张动作) and said, “Good luck at the track, sir.”
28 , the man did not tip him a quarter. Instead he 29 , “Get out of my way!” He pushed him aside so 30 that the boy fell on the sidewalk and I knew he was badly hurt. I got out of my car quickly 31 find that the man disappeared in the crowd.
So I looked for the kid. I decided to give him $20 for all his 32 . But he was far up ahead, walking out of the station 33 . The traffic policeman waved at me to get my car going. 34 , I never saw him again. I’d like to find him one day and tell him that if only he had stuck around a little longer I would have given him a whole $20.
I learned an important lesson from the boy. When things seem so 35 that you are ready to give up, that is the time when things are most likely to turn around for you.

My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job，when I was six years old，was 36 the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young，so he taught me 37 to do it efficiently(有效地)，telling me to 38 to re-shine(再擦亮) the shoes if the customer wasn’t 39 .
Working in the restaurant was a cause of great 40 because I was also working for the good of the family. But my father 41 that I had to meet certain standards(标准) to be part of the team. I 42 to be punctual(守时的)，hard-working，and polite to the 43 .
I was 44 paid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of advising Dad that he 45 give me $10 a week. He said,“OK. How about you paying me for three mea
ls a day you have here? And for the times you bring 46 your friends for free soft drinks?” He 47 I owed him about $40 a week.
I remember returning to Seattle after being 48 in the US Army for about two years. I had just been promoted(升迁) to Captain at that time. And full of pride，I walked into my parents’ restaurant，but the 49 thing Dad said was，“How about your 50 up tonight?” I couldn’t 51 my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But it didn’t 52 as far as Dad was concerned，I was just 53 member of the team. I reached for the mop(拖把). Working for Dad has taught me the devotion to a 54 is above all. It has nothing to do with 55 that team is involved in a family restaurant or the US Army.

When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community service work. There was one specific 36 that was unusual for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless 37 in the streets. After that I went to a homeless shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to 38 . She wanted to help, 39 she made many chocolate chip cookies for me to 40 and hand out to people. When getting to the shelter, I began making sandwiches and 41 them with the crowd. I had the containers with my sister’s cookies in them and began to 42 around, offering them to anyone near me.
I approached an old gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes watered a little bit and said, “No one has 43 called me sir.’ He was completely moved.
It 44 me.
I explained I had been raised that regardless of color and social status, everyone deserved respect. It 45 me to think that just because he was homeless, no one 46 him the honor. It broke my heart. I just didn’t understand 47 no one ever called him sir. I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every 48 person deserves to be treated with respect. Years later, I still carry that memory and the 49 it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can 50 make a difference in someone’s life.
