Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m. 21 my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel. 22 , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason, 23 , I went ahead and answered.
The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K. I 24 , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather. Still not 25 why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only 26 listed in the phone book. He said his name was Mason and that he was the 27 at the Best Western Hotel. The 28 was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t 29 any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.
Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n) 30 guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man in charge there was 31 because my grandfather seemed to be 32 . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and 33 100 miles from home.
Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to 34 him to the police station, Mason, 35 any normal duty, not only took the time to 36 me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could 37 safely and comfortably overnight. (The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all 38 him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
So, it’s just one more piece of 39 that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who 40 .

“Father, I don’t like to go to school,” said Harry Williams one morning. “I wish you would let me stay at home. Charles Parker’s father doesn’t make him go to school.”

Alice, my friend’s daughter, goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend, Jane, who is on a full scholarship at this school. Jane has 36 economic resources—her father has been dead for years and her mother works 37 a maid. Although her mother works very hard, she can 38 __ support the family. Jane is very bright and gifted at 39 and that’s how she has got the scholarship, which included a(n) 40 for things like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.
Alice became friends with Jane and would 41 talk to her at lunch. She did it that way in order to avoid the other kids 42 her.
On her birthday last month, she 43 her new friend to her birthday party, but Jane said she couldn’t come. Alice wanted her to be 44 so much that she 45 on her coming. Eventually, the girl said, “I don’t have any 46__ clothes that I could wear at your birthday party.” After a brief pause, the girl remembered, “I have a 47 from my piano performance,” and asked, “Could I 48 a skirt from you?”
Alice was happy that her friend would be 49 to come and hurried home to ask her Mum 50 she could lend her friend one of her skirts. To her surprise, her Mum said, “No.” The daughter was very 51 and angrily said to her Mum, “ 52 I could, I would give my friend all my clothes.” The Mother didn’t understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she’s normally very well 53 .
Finally, Alice explained to her Mother her friend’s 54 . Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said, “Yes.” She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her 55 with her.
So the true friendship seeks to give, not to take; to help, not to be helped; to minister, not to be ministered to.

She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. without doubt I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I 38 became a happy girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone back to my always-on-the-move childhood.

As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter（木匠）, is no 41 . Several decades ago he made a mistake – a perfect mistake, 42 .
On a cold Saturday, Mother’s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in China. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered put
ting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless.
When he 43 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 44 him ￡20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home 45 .
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, which Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the 46 you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪) had just 47 t
hrough the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“ 48 I had the money, there was simply no way of 49 those glasses. 50 headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff 51 the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped (吸引注意) with the 52 of it all, he continued: “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened, 53 for the miraculous（奇迹的） glasses. But the director surely must have 54 their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their 55 of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

Friendship is unconditional and uncritical, based only on mutual respect and the ability to enjoy each other's company. These authority figures never saw the way one of us could do something outrageous（令人不可容忍的）, and the rest of us would joke about it for days. We could have fun doing absolutely nothing at all—because the ____ 21____ we provided each other with was enough. Rather than discussing operas, Lewinsky, or the weather, we enjoyed just ____22____ each other without any one of us trying to outsmart the others. Still, I realize that these adults had a____23____ to be concerned about the direction my friends were____24____; I also was concerned for them, but I wasn't about to ____25____ them.
Many times I would advise my friends that some activity may be ____26____ or to think things through before doing something, but I would never claim to hold the moral high ground and to condescend(屈尊) to them. When Marvin would begin rolling joints, when Alisa would tell me she skipped school because of a hangover, or when Merriam would tell me that her new boyfriend was in a street gang, I expressed my discomfort with their ____27____. However, I never ____28____ them with the threat of taking my friendship away. Contrary to the commercials on television, you can have ____29____ who use drugs. In fact, probably everyone does without ____30____ it.

Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 36 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s 37 to share with others – a lesson I needed to 38 myself as well, as it 39 .
One evening Danac had 40 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s 41 game called Go Fish. That evening, 42 Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
She help up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 43 that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our 44 wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae 45 . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was
gone 46 . So I tried again, saying, “ 47 you give the cards to her, you can’t 48 them back tomorrow.”
A look of 49 came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 50 . But then she smiled and sa
id. “Well, that’s okay, I want her to have them anyway.”
What could I say to that? I sat 51 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to 52 her to share. Did it 53 that our Go Fish set would be 54 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 55 of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?
