The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light,I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff(东西) they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day.  “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer,in fact, I dared not.
The clock struck twelve. “ Oh,dear!” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate(绝望的)now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed,“Oh,God,please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards,Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later,with my head on the desk,I fell asleep.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to   36  in order to pay the high school cost for my brother and me. They don’t act in the   37  ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too   38  for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Lovers’ Day is even more out of   39 .
One day, Mom was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I sat   40  beside her. “Mom, I have a question. Is there   41  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
Mom stopped her work and raised her head with   42  in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. She   43  her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had   44  her. I was very regretful and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said   45 , “Look at this thread. Sometimes it   46 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and long-lasting. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can   47    be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is   48 .”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t   49  her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned home, they both looked   50 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and sunset, my mother helped my father walk   51  on the country road.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan ,” he said kindly. “To tell you the truth, I just like   52  with your mom.”   53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and   54 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just   55  in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

After spending three days in a wheelchair, I was ready to quit. Not only did I have to battle cracked (裂缝的) and uneven (不平的) pavements, I had to deal with the bad attitude of pedestrians (行人) and a cold rain. But I didn’t give up because of people like Tiffany Payne.
Payne, who has been using a wheelchair for 18 years, laughed at me:
“Imagine trying to get around town in the winter,” she said.
I could see her point: You’re battling to get to a doctor’s appointment (预约), but no one has shoveled (铲) after a big snowfall. Your choices: Move out and risk getting stuck, or reschedule the appointment.
Those of us fortunate enough to get around on our own two legs don’t give a second thought to the person in a wheelchair next to us at a crosswalk. That would require us to look down.
So I decided to try using a wheelchair to get a sample of what their lives are like. It wasn’t long before I saw that people who use wheelchairs are forced to deal with a lot of trouble.
During my experiment, I was ignored by store staff while shopping and bumped into by inattentive (疏忽的) walkers without so much as an apology.    
Some people even gave me angry looks as if I were the one at fault.
Once in a store, a woman bumped into me trying to get to the new iPad. She didn’t say, “Excuse me.”
When salespeople did offer assistance, they talked to people who were with me, instead of me. I wanted to yell: “Hey, I’m down here!”
Some salespeople talked to me as though I were a child or acted like they didn’t want to be bothered with me.
People who use wheelchairs want to be treated like everyone else. They also comprehend (理解), so you don’t have to speak to them in a childlike, sing-song voice. It’s not very appealing (吸引人的), especially when the person is an adult. And most importantly, remember they have feelings that can be hurt just like yours.
Spending three days in a wheelchair made me look differently at those who have to use one. I hope you do the same.
By James E. Causey

I believe that small acts of kindness have the biggest influence on our lives. While on a vacation in Mexico with my family, I learned this valuable   36   . Our room was on the 8th floor of our hotel, so we would    37 the elevator every day.     38  other people use it ,too.
One afternoon I rode it alone. The bellboy greeted me and   39  the button for my floor.I smiled and took the elevator in     40  . The elevator stopped at the next floor, and an elderly maid  41  in with a large bundle of clean towels.

It was only a few weeks after my surgery. I went to Dr. Belt’s office for a     36   . it was just after my first chemotherapy treatment(化疗).

I lay down on the    40  . Then Ramina entered the room. Her   41  smile was familiar, and    42 in contrast to my fears. I’d first seen her in the office a few weeks earlier. She wasn’t my   43  on that day, but I remember her because she was laughing. What could she    44  find to laugh about at a time like this? So I decided she wasn’t   45 enough about the whole thing.
But this day was    46  . Ramona had taken my blood before. She   47 my fear of needles, and she kindly   48   the medical equipment under a magazine. As we opened the layers of bandage, the    49 scar on my chest could be seen.
She gently    50  over and ran her hand across the scar,   51 the smoothness of the healing skin. I began to cry gently and quietly. She brought her warm eyes to mine and said, “You haven’t    52 it et, have you?” And I said, “No.”
I continued to cry gently. In   53 tones she said, “This is part of your body. This is you. It’s okay to touch it.” But I couldn’t. So she touched it for me. The  54 . The healing wound. And beneath it, she touched my heart.
That night as I lay down, I gently placed my hand on my chest and I left it there  55 I fell asleep. I knew I wasn’t alone.
