One summer in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp.
I first 16 a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obvious 17 and shyness made him appear weak and lonely. Nearby, 200 18 campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere 19 where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel 20 . So I 21 him and said, “Hi, I’m Kevin. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
22 a shaky voice he 23 answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him to join in the activities and 24 some new people. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could 25 that this whole experience was 26 to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to 27 him, either. It was going to take more time and 28 .
The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just sitting alone, 29 out the window.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my 30 about him known. I asked them to pay speci
al attention and spend time with him 31 they could.
The days flew by fast. When the “last dance” came, surprisingly, the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing 32 . He owned the dance floor 33 meaningful time with others. I couldn’t’ believe it was him.
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of 34 every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as 35 as I can, and I advise others to look out for their own “boy under the tree.”

The fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often about her and laughed at her a lot. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿), from Africa. She had just been adopted (收养) by a family in town who that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this girl, and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how I would help her in with us? There had to be a .
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a (an) copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Park, and showed her what Suzy had . “Why, it's wonderful,” said Miss Park, who then showed us a poster she had painted the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don't have enough . Could you help me, Suzy?”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy's were everywhere - all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (an) award. I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of your own students them.”
I could hear everyone whispering (窃窃私语), “Who in our school could draw well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves (应得) a , too. Our mystery artist is our new student, Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she'd probably never anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to their hands, Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause (掌声) was deafening (震耳欲聋). I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.
