I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother"s
words as if it were yesterday: "Kernel, I don"t want you to take food from your father, because he has
AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."
AIDS wasn"t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I
knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived
alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My
father"s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to took after him.
We couldn"t afford all the necessary medicine for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I
had no money for school supplies and often couldn"t even buy food for dinner.
I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher"s words muffled as I tried to figure out how
I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at
classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was
moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak
to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret,
I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman
at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so
lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about
AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn"t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
B.He depended on the nurses in his final days.
C.He worked hard to pay for his medication.
D.He told no one about his disease.
B.Kernel had special difficulty in hearing.
C.Kernel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
D.Kernel was too tired to hear her teacher"s words.
B.She thought it was not shameful to have AIDS.
C.She found no one willing to listen to her.
D.She wanted to obey her mother.
B.To show how little people knew about AIDS.
C.To draw people"s attention to AIDS.
D.To remember her father.

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would he bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 1 ." As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 2 and landed in the grass about ten feet away from him. My 3 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. As I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me. We talked all the way home. He turned out to be a pretty 4 kid. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends Kyle was the top student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. He had to prepare a speech for 5 . On the graduation day, I could see that he was 6 about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you"ll be great!" He looked at me and smiled. At graduation, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to 7 those who helped you make it through those 8 years. Your parents, your teachers, but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with 9 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 10 himself over the weekend and was carrying his stuff home. He looked at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate (低估) the 11 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 12 a person"s life. For better or for worse.
