with volunteers. Students like Campbell Snoddy collect food that ____________ by students, parents
and teachers from each classroom. Then, the children check to make sure the food isn"t too old. After
that, they sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior
citizens in the community.
"I wanted to teach my daughter about philanthropy (慈善)," says Julie Rosenthal, who started the
non-profit program six years ago. "And I wanted to teach other kids in the community, too."
Children make their deliveries around the 15th of the month, when money from monthly Social
Security checks begins to run out and tough decisions between food and other needs have to be made.
"I am on a fixed income and the food has helped me out considerably," says Linda Testerman, a food
receiver. "
"It was really fun, it was great to make the senior citizens happy," says Campbell. "It was really cool."
Sofia Merkowitz, another Food on the 15th volunteer, agrees. "I really liked it because it made me feel
really good that people were so happy that they got food."
Rosenthal says that is why she has children do more than fill a bag with donated food.
"We want the children to have firsthand experience delivering the food to the people so that they can
get that feeling of really making a difference in somebody"s life, a positive difference."
The program started with one school delivering 30 bags of groceries. It has grown each year, and now
involves 10 schools and several churches. Food on the 15th has delivered more than 12,000 bags so far. Rosenthal"s goal is to expand Food on the 15th across the country and around the world.

My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.
While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of
love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, "Kemmons, you
are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother
spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk
again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep onto my heart that I finally believed her. A year
later, I returned to school-walking on my own!
When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the
both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on
a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels
available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2for each child. That was too expensive
for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families
that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even
designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother"s
words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the
largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty
countries with an income of $ 1billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working
for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
B. His previous business success.
C. His mother"s objection.
D. The doctor"s words.
B. Careful, helpful and beautiful.
C. Strict, sensitive and supportive.
D. Loving, supportive and strong-willed.
B. Mom"s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.
C. Mom"s encouragement, a poor family, higher education, and clear goals.
D. Mom"s encouragement, a poor family, higher education, and opportunities.
became different, as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and 1 .
Too busy 2 physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was
determined to 3 , feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved forward.
4 , as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status.
Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall - a 5 survivor,
feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude 6 as I discovered that others did not view me in
the way I had come to view myself.
All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to 7 my eyes forced
me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers 8 held their children closer as I passed. Elderly
women patted me on the head saying, "God Bless You!" with 9 in their eyes.
While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with
unembarrassed 10 at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look,
she innocently asked, "Lady, where did your legs go?"
I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn"t been strong and healthy like hers, the
doctors had to 11 them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, "Did they go to "Leg Heaven"?"
That incident made me think about how 12 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an
odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a 13 learning experience while adults often view the same
thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been 14 of the same inappropriate
reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.
To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a
confident manner. By using a 15 approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a
not-so-perfect body doesn"t mean having a poor quality of life.

Dr. Karl Menninger
I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him 1 that the main
reason why I was 2 with them was my 3 to keep my family in Boston. My wife of 26 years old had recently died of a heart attack. A(n) 4 in Boston would also help me reduce some of the pain of the loss. Bruce, the
interviewer, was politely sympathetic, and didn"t probe (调查) any 5 .He acknowledged my loss and, with
great respect, moved on to another 6 .
After the next 7 of interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take
a 8 with him. He told me that he, 9 , had lost his wife. And he had also been married 20 years and had
three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had 10 the same pain as I had, a pain that was almost 11 to
explain to someone who had not lost a loved 12. He offered his business card and home phone number
and 13 that, if I needed help or just wanted someone to 14 , I should feel 15 to give him a call, no matter
16 I got the job or not. He wanted me to know that he was there if I 17 needed any help.
From that one act of kindness, when he had no 18 whether we would ever see each other again, he
helped me 19 one of life"s greatest losses. He turned the normal 20 business interview process into an act
of caring and support for another person in a time of need.
