Some years ago I worked with people on public welfare. I believed that everybody had the ability to be        and all we have to do was to make them start working.
The first thing I said to them was, "I would like to know what your        are." Everyone looked at me as if I were     . One woman said "I don't know what you can       with dreams. The rats are eating up my kids." I said. "That's terrible. You are very much       with the rats and your kids. How can we help?" " I could use a new screen door（纱门）because there are       in the old." I asked, "Is there anybody knowing       to fix it?" A man said, "Long ago I used to do things like that but now I have a bad back, but I'll      ." I gave him some money to do that.
The next week, when the group was       , I asked the woman, "Well, is your       door fixed?" "Oh, yes," she said. "Then we can start dreaming, right?" She      at me. I asked the man, "How do you feel?" He said, "Well, it's funny that I'm beginning to feel a lot       ." These seemingly small       allowed the group to see that dreams were not stupid. One woman        that she wanted to be a secretary. I said, " What       in your way?" She answered, "I have six kids, and no one can         them while I'm away." I asked "Who would help this woman while she gets some       at school?" Another woman said "I got kids, too, but I could do that." So the woman went to school.
In 12 weeks these people were      public welfare. The woman who         the children became a licensed foster care (代别人照看孩子)person. The man became a handyman. I've not only done that       , I've done it many times.

It was the district track meeting, which we had been training for all seasons. My foot still hadn't healed from a(n)   36 injury. Actually I had hesitated whether or not to 37 the meet. But there I was, preparing for the 3,200-meter run.
"Ready... set..." The gun popped and off we were. The other girls ran ahead of me. I found myself limping(跛) and felt ashamed as I 38 farther and farther behind.
The first-place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. "Hooray!" the 39  shouted with the loudest cheer I had ever heard at a meeting.
"Maybe I should quit," I   40  as I limped on. "Those people wouldn't like to wait for me to finish this race." Somehow,    41 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran   42   and decided not to compete in track next year. I couldn't beat the girl who lapped me twice, even if my foot did 43 .
When I finished, I heard a cheer-just as 44 as the one the first-place girl received "What was that all about?" I asked myself. I turned around and sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race. "They 45   be cheering for the boys."
I went 46 to the bathroom where a girl came across me and said, "Wow, you've got courage!"
I thought, "Courage? She must be 47 me for someone else. I just 48 a race! I would have never been able to finish those two miles 49 I were you. What happened to your foot? We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?"
I couldn't believe it. A(n) 50 stranger had cheered for me-not for my victory, but for my perseverance. Suddenly I 51 hope. I decided to stick with track next year. One girl saved my 52 .
That day I learned two things. First, a 53 kindness and confidence in people can make a great difference to them. Second, strength and courage aren't measured in the 54 and victories.                                                         They are measured in the struggles we 55 .

They are anxious to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are   40   home or taking outside, or why they have come home so early or late. To be interested in these things is silly because they are not important. It is none of their 41   to know what their neighbours do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also harmful.

All the discoveries in human history have been made   48  a result of curiosity,   49   the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have   50   — or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.
