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      . She wasn’t even four, but she       at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”
I don’t remember my      . But I do remember a sudden      feeling inside me. I had always been pleased at how much my daughter noticed in her      , whether it was      flying or children playing. But now she was noticing      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      it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up(登记参加). Nora was      about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how      our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to      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       . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why to do this?      , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She      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.      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      .
Experts call such a(n)          “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         that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and      clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve      her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?

Two truck drivers didn’t know one another when they arrived at the scene of a severe accident on Kentucky’s Mountain Highway last June. Yet they worked together like long-time 21and saved two motorists from near certain death. For their 22 , Terry and Floyd have been named Goodyear North America Highway Heroes for 1999. The award was 23  Thursday at the Mid-America Trucking Show. In recognition of their 24 , Terry and Floyd split a $20,000 savings bond and win free trips to Nashville.
On June 22, Terry and Floyd--driving separate trucks— 25 an accident involving a jeep and a car on Mountain Parkway. The quick-thinking men broke out the back window of the upside-down 26 , freed the driver from his seatbelt, and dragged him to safety. But the driver of the car was pinned inside the vehicle, and the fire from the jeep was spreading 27 close.
“The paint was melting on the car; it was so 28 ,” recalled Miller.
Harvey and Miller attached a nylon strap(尼龙带) between Harvey’s truck and the car in an effort to pull it away from the burning jeep. The first two 29 failed. On the third try, the strap held and Harvey pulled the car to 30 . When rescue crews arrived, Floyd--an experienced EMS technician--used the “Jaws-of-Life” to free the car driver.

A farewell party was going on. Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any pubic show where she didn’t know anyone. It made her 36 hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion like this when she knew 37 , there was no 38 to feel shy. 39she had made up her mind to 40 people’s attention for once in her life. Unlike others, Sylvia didn’t have any sad feelings herself at leaving Palmeira Court Hotel or saying goodbye to its 41 — she had left so many other 42 , and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now.
Yet this 43 was a particular occasion, and she hadn’t had so many of those in her 44. She had put on her 45 black dress and her long earrings. She had wanted to enjoy being the center of 46 for one evening, but now they had 47 old Miss Hutton of all people to give the 48 speech, whom she disliked. Even so, she thought there was no sense in getting 49 about it, for it was the first rule her 50 had given her — avoid all anxiety, take things easy. So, surprising herself by enjoying her own well-rounded white arm as 51 showed through the sleeve of her 52 dress, she took a taste of her drink and then sat back comfortably with her cigarette. And her doctor’s orders worked! For 53 out slowly, she put Miss Hutton off the end of her 54 with a cloud of tobacco smoke, so that she smiled to herself at the old girl’s funny expression. She 55 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise.

It was a normal summer night, humidity（潮湿）hung in the thick air. The only sound was my sister’s heavy __36__ from the bed next to me.
I couldn’t go to _37__, partly because of my cold and partly because of my __38__ for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a __39__ .
Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, I gathered enough __40__ to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright __41__ hanging in the sky, giving off a magic glow.
My sister turned over as though she was as light as air. Why could she sleep soundly? Why wasn’t she __42__ too? Did she know about tomorrow?
I couldn’t stand the __43__ anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the __44__ and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. Pouring the red paste onto the brush, I cleaned back and forth, up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some __45__of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, __46__ me as he meowed（猫叫）his sad song. He was on the old orange couch （长沙发）, sitting up on his front legs,   47   something to happen. He looked at me as if to say, “I’m __48__, pet me. I need a good hug.” Even the couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft   49 . This couch represented my birth, my parents’ marriage, and hundreds of other little __50__.
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was __51__ with questions: What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body, I had a __52__ thought; each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the __53__ and the next day’s surprise. The __54__ was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries __55__ move away.
