My first memories of acts of kindness are from when I was about 12 years old. From then on I always 36 at home and with friends.
That winter I notice that many 37 people had difficulty getting to the 38 store after a snowstorm. So I started to spend part of a 39 Saturday knocking at apartment doors to ask if any one needed 40 from the store. The grocery store was down a huge hill and I would bring 41 a couple of bags of groceries for them. I liked it and it made them so 42 .
It started with 43 alone and then the number grew. A short time later, my 44 in the building asked what I was doing and a couple of them 45 and it became a routine. I 46 asked for or took money for it. Sometimes the ladies 47 slip the change in my pocket. I would just buy something the next time to give to them, 48 flowers or a card. I did this every 49_ up to when I left to go to college.
When I was away at 50 , many people asked my mom how I was doing. Through those conversations she 51 what I used to do -—I had never told her.
Now, I’m a teacher and teaching my students the art of true 52 ; Everyone in the world needs help, and everyone can also 53 help. The image of those old people’s happiness caused by my 54 of goodwill appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something 55 . This is the power of charity.

When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community service work. There was one specific 36 that was unusual for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless 37 in the streets. After that I went to a homeless shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to 38 . She wanted to help, 39 she made many chocolate chip cookies for me to 40 and hand out to people. When getting to the shelter, I passed out the 41 . I began making sandwiches and 42 them with the crowd. I had the containers with my sister’s 43 in them and began to 44 around, offering them to anyone near me.
I approached an 45 gentleman and said, “ Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes 46 a little bit and said, “ No one has 47 called me sir.’ So he was completely moved.
It 48 me.
I explained I had been raised that 49 color and social status, everyone deserved respect. It 50 me to think that just because he was homeless, no one 51 him the honor. It broke my heart. I just didn’t understand 52 no one ever called him sir. I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every 53 person deserves to be treated with respect. Years later, I still carry that memory and the 54 it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can 55 make a difference in someone’s life.

Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans．With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell．Upon its 36 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes．I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 37 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves．But something made David 38 ．I can still remember he was always 39 a smile and willing to help．He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor．We never talked much．He 40 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home
Weeks passed and the 41 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break．I smiled in 42 as the last of them hurried out of the door．Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk．
"I have something for you．" he said and 43 from behind his back a small box． 44 it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it．" I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it．I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing．I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it’s 45 ．"
"Oh no it isn’t" said David．"It’s full of love．My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there．"
Tears filled my eyes 46 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to．After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 47 the little empty box set on my desk．

On my first trip in the United States , I went to San Antonion . I was on foot . So I went to only three places there : the Alamo , the River Walk , and the Art Gallery . I especially enjoyed visiting the Alamo , a well- known building in America .
When I arrived at the Alamo , I was deeply impressed because it was well kept and in good shape . The Alamo was erected in about 1722, was later used as a fort(保垒) , and has been kept as a state monument(纪念馆) to the Texan War of Independence against Mexico . During the battle , all of the Texan defenders were killed . I was surprised at the exhibition of rifles , guns , cannons and swords .
I was especially attracted by the paintings of a war . The paintings expressed the feelings of a painter very well . Even thought about 160 years have passed since the Battle of the Alamo , the exhibit is well kept . When I came out after seeing the exhibition , I felt as if I had a victory . The outer wall of the Alamo was destroyed here and there . When I touched the wall , I could feel the damage . After the war , little remained of the Alamo . All of the windows and doors were destroyed . The top part of the gate way disappeared without a trace(遗迹) . I will remember the Alamo forever . It is one of the best places to visit in San Antonio .

My mom is a teacher．She finds a lesson in everything．I was watching Sesame Street by my second birthday so I’d 16 my ABCs and 123s．Our weekly family trips to the library began when I was three．And my mom had me spotting （认出） the historical markers with childlike 17 on family vacations by the time I was six．For her, life was all about learning．But the biggest lesson she 18 me was never to let my 19 define who I am, and never forget what is 20 in life．
I was born with Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome, an extremely 21 genetic bone and muscular disorder．There are only about 100 reported 22 ．At birth, my knees were bent more than 90 degrees, and I had my first surgery to 23 them when I was just six weeks old．This surgery was the first of many in my 24 ．I’d had 26 surgeries by the time I was 15．
Strange as it 25 , I have good memories of my medical days．One of my 26 is about my mom and me being in the hospital cafeteria（自助餐厅）．We sat down for an ice cream sandwich dessert．It was 27 fancy, but at that moment, I knew I was 28 ．
My parents pushed me to be as 29 as possible — even when I didn’t want to be．My mom taught me that I could do anything and that I should 30 let my disability stop me．In high school, I was a member of the National Honor Society, and in college, I was editor-in-chief of my school newspaper．I wouldn’t have had the 31 to push myself if my parents hadn’t been there, 32 me on and giving me a reality check when I got down on myself．
Every night before I go to bed, I 33 my mom for everything, for all the great help she’s given me．And 34 I get older, I know that “Thanks, Mom” is about so much more than the physical assistance．And that’s 35 matters the most．

A long time ago, there was a seed and because he was only a seed, nobody noticed him．Thus, feeling inferior （低等的）, the seed gave no importance to his existence （存在）．
Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun．Later, he was given rain．
Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side．“Thank God for this．I really need some rest,” he heard the traveler say．
“What are you talking about?” the seed quickly asked．He thought the man was making fun of him．No one ever spoke to him like that．
“Who just spoke?” the shocked man asked．
“It is me．A seed．”
`“A seed?” The man looked at the big tree．“Are you joking? You are not a seed．You are a big tree!”
“Really?”
“Yes! Why else do you think people come here?”
“What do they come here for?”
“To feel your shade （树荫）! Don’t tell me you didn’t know you had grown over time．”
A moment passed before the traveler’s words brought him pride．
The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life．The years of torture （折磨） by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up．
“Oh! That means I’m not a little seed anymore! I was actually born to make people feel comfortable．Wow! That’s great!”
