LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He 36 needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good 37 , so the next day I got ready to go.
I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes 38 , and helped Alex and 39 of the volunteers. There were only three 40 at first, and we figured we might as well get started 41 just waiting for more to arrive. I held the 42 , and suddenly felt extremely shy. I did not 43 asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to 44 those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few, 45 I cannot alone 46 every single cause in the world!
I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause. 47 , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they 48 . I realized that 49 I wasn’t pushy（强求的）, it would be okay, and my conscience could be 50 .
I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms. 51 I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small 52 . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away 53 .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the 54 , and I became a successful fundraiser.
At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and 55 how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.

Learning to Accept
I learned how to accept life as it is from my father. 36__, he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was 37 and ill.
My father was 38 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 39 all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is 40 . One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started 41 about life, and I told them about one of my 42.__ .I said that we must very often give things up
43 we grow—our youth, our beauty, and our friends— but it always 44 that after we give something up, we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 45 up. He said, “But, Peter, I gave up 46 ! What did I gain?” I thought and thought, but I couldn't think of anything to say. 47 , he answered his own question: “I 48 the love of my family,” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.
I was also 49 by his words. After that，when I began to feel irritated（愤怒的）at someone, I 50 remember his words and become 51 . If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be 52 to give up my small irritations. In this 53 , I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the 39 shelter to pick out a dog to keep her 40 . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye. 41 these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very 42 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 43 Grandma had a stroke（中风）. Grandma could no longer
44 , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were 45 companions.
After her stroke, it became a real 46 for Grandma to let Penny in and out because 47 was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（机械装置）using a rope and pulley（滑轮）was 48 from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was 49 Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us 50 Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember 51 my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.
As the years passed, it was not 52 for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she 53 . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she 54 on the rug （垫子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the 55 , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her 56 to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her 57 companion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s 58 were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.
