Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your      ; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a         afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a         windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold,        their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was        .
“I’ll get the next car’s         as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside,         much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright         lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t         their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled, I charged her as        , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his          changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then         at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his      .
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver        him. He         over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave         and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,         others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window           a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and           their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire         of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 11 how difficult it is to write a 12 children’s book. Either the author has aimed too 13 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 14 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are 15 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 16 who hears the story and the adult who 17 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, 18 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 19 to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as 20 of children’s literature(文学) were in fact written for 21 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 22 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a 23 and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(连环画), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop 24 to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 25 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise(妥协) over the bedtime story.

We make a living with what we get, but we make a life with what we give.

--- Winston Churchill(温斯顿丘吉尔)

I am willing to 36 this saying. I have been 37 at the Boston Children’s Hospital every year since I was thirteen. At the beginning, I only wanted to go 38 I would get praise for entertaining children at the 39 . After giving my time for two months, my 40 changed completely.
When I first 41 into the waiting room on the ground floor, I was very 42 that I would be spending my entire summer with kids. As it became 43 for me to show up every day at 8 a.m., many kids began to 44 me. To my surprise, I began looking forward to seeing their 45 faces as well. They were always enthusiastic(热情)about 46 . My heart warmed every time I heard their 47 voices asking me for a story or an answer to a question. I felt 48 and irreplaceable.
As I look back, I see the influence that these 49 children have had on me. It is because of them that I have 50a desire to become a psychologist. Recently, I have volunteered for a month. I have been asked to 51 on many different floors besides the waiting room where I 52 . The kids on the floors above are usually there for a longer time.Despite their anxiety and desire to get better and go home, they always offer me a(n)53 smile. I feel renewed about 54a day with them because I realize that there is much more to 55 than money. It is much more important to love and to be loved.
