Early this morning, I got up to make a batch of Rice Krispie treats（大米花糖） for my neighbor across the hall. She 21 greets me when we see each other, and her little boy, who’s now 4, won’t talk to me either.
Last Monday, she called the firefighters when a pan I’d forgotten on the stove caused my flat to 22 . I had gone for a walk, but when I came home the street in front of our apartment was 23 by a police car, a fire truck and an ambulance! 24 I saw them, I remembered the pan!
I felt safe knowing that 25 we don’t get along, my neighbor had done the right thing and didn’t blame me. Hence, the Rice Krispie treats.
Last Christmas, my neighbor revealed that she had been a little angry about me because of a(n) __26___ four years ago. I had apologized and asked if there was anything I could do to ___27___ our relationship, but she would not accept my 28 .
Her direct refusal really 29 me. After that, I decided I’d just leave her be—a relationship 30 two to work.
So, you see, I was really scared she was going to refuse my offer again, 31 me standing on her 32 holding my plate of treats. Then, I reminded myself of how good I had felt the day before when I’d done some random acts of ___33___ after telling myself: “ Feel the fear, and do it 34 !”
After placing the Rice Krispie treats on a beautiful plate, I opened my apartment door and met her in the hall way. I said：“I just wanted to tell you how 35 I am that you were paying attention on Monday.” I held the plate 36 her, explaining these were very sweet American treats and that she 37 try to see whether she and her family liked them. She took the plate and we talked a bit about 38 she’d become aware of the smoke in my flat before parting ways.
Back at home I 39 a “ happy dance”, because I had been kind even though I wasn’t sure it would be appreciated. I want to be able to be kind without expecting people to 40 in a certain way.

I ___39___ on the bedrail（床的栏杆）looking down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I launched into a monologue（独白） that went ___40___ like this, “How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high ___41___ they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you’re ___42___ to see your son who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.”
She ___43___ me with a serious, authoritative voice. “Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”
I was surprised and embarrassed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived ___44___ from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the stress of this ___45___ greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She ___46___ her head no and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others wander ___47___ a clear conclusion. Some are true; others not.

Listening to someone’s story costs ___49___ expensive diagnostic testing but is key to healing and diagnosis.

It was the summer of 1936．The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin．I had trained, sweated and disciplined myself for 6 years on the running broad jump．A year before, as a college student at the Ohio State, I"d set the world"s record of 26 feet 8 1/4 inches．Nearly everyone expected me to win．
I was in for a surprise．When the time came for the broad-jump trials(选拔赛), I was shocked to see a tall boy hitting the pit （坑） at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps．He turned out to be a German named Luz Long．He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt．
A nervous athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes．I fouled （犯规）twice on my qualifying jumps．Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked at the dirt disgustedly．Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder．I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of Luz Long．"Hi, I"m Luz Long．I don"t think we"ve met．" "Glad to meet you," I said．Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, "How are you?" "I"m fine．Something must be eating you．You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed．" He said．
He seemed to understand my nervousness, and took pains to reassure me．Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he said, "What does it matter if you"re not the first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts．" All the tension left my body as the truth of what he said hit me．Confidently I qualified with almost a foot to spare．
Luz broke his own record and pushed me on to a peak performance．The instant I landed from my final jump—the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5 1/16 inches—he was at my side, congratulating me．

It"s a small gas station that has snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and candies. The young man behind the counter knows his __36__ by name and what they normally want to buy. He treats children and adults with equal __37__. He reads science fiction behind the counter when business is __38__.

Imagine what they must have felt like when they were told they didn"t have to steal if they were that __44__. “We have food in the back, expired (到期)but still __45__ to eat. If you need food, you __46__ have some.”
They were told to __47__ what they had dropped and put it back, and then asked to straighten out（清理） the mess. They were doing just that __48__ the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer __49__.
This wasn"t what they had __50__. They were being treated as human beings who could right the wrong they"d done. Shocked, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.
Soon three __51__ people walked out with all the __52__ their arms could hold. They were __53__ that，if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.
And then the young man went back to read until the next customer came in. He would be the __54__ person in the world to claim he was a hero. But he gave three people something they were in desperate need of—a __55__amount of selfrespect and a little bit of hope.
