When I was in Germany, one day at Christmas-time I went to a post office to send a letter. To my , I found people queuing some paces away from the at the savings deposit (存款) window.
Why so? Each did his business in turn but the line never a step nearer .I was very curious, so I walked to the window to the cause. There was a on which was written “ Thank you for your respect for other's privacy”—a polite to keep people away from nosing into other's affairs (money matters are regarded as privacy in Western countries).I was deeply by the sight and stayed a while to watch: they were so calmly at a distance that they seemed quite to the practice. The thing happened at a public telephone box. Those waiting for their always kept their distance—enough to be out of .It's another typical example! From then on I to watch their ways of doing things, manners, treatment shown towards . I found the Germans always mindful of other's privacy（隐私）. They not to put others in an embarrassing (窘迫) situation. For instance, they never about age, incomes or the place to buy such a coat, nor would they talk about the others or others wore on their necks. Their laws reading diaries or opening letters without . It’s obvious that it shows matters are not allowed to be disturbed.

It was 4 o'clock in the morning when I received the phone call．
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 36in with severe burns on his face，neck and arms．We have called for a（n） 37 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle．” Seattle was 350 miles from his college，so we knew immediately this was 38 ．
The doctor described the 39 ，which caused the burns．At 6 am，our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment．When they 40 the charcoal（木炭），it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline（petrol）．The flames 41 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head．
42 ，one of the boys was quick-minded，grasped my son，and 43 him on the grass．While it saved his life，it was not in 44 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars（伤疤）．
After he 45 from the treatments，the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery（整容）for 6 months 46 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling．So，he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns．
When I was a child, my mother told my sister，who had a 10-inch, very 47__ scar on her arm，“Nancy，if you ignore the scar，other people will ignore it．It does not mean they will not 48 it，but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you．’’
I 49 this wisdom on to my son．He took my advice to 50 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive．
By the end of the six-month waiting period，he decided that the scars did not 51 , sohe made the 52 to give up any plastic surgery．
We all have “scars” that we believe 53 people to keep away from us．And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different，or dressed differently，people would like us better．
But you see，people will only judge you by your looks，or your clothes，if you are judging yourself by these same 54 standards．Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 55 yourself，and your beauty will shine through．

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other__1 , including her “sixth sense”, that she seldom gives the impression (印象) that she’s 2__ anything. It’s really amazing.
Michelle 3 her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she isn’t too hard on them. Her children really benefit a lot from her 4 __attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that 5 often don’t realize she’s blind.
I6 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very 7 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was8 excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to 9 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle10 with us”.
To my great11 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my 12 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment (成就). She really 13 what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt14 Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come15 in conversation. When I told my daughter Michelle was blind, she was 16 for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla __17 . I knew my child was _18 because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Michelle had also “heard” Kayla’s 19 in her work.
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my __20__.” Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

The sun shines brightly as I leave school, get into my car, and head for Bradley Hospital. This year, as a senior at Seekonk High School, I have been given the opportunity to leave the usual classroom setting once a week to volunteer.
I 1 to spend this valuable time working with mentally disabled children at Bradley Children’s Hospital. I work 2 a teacher in the outpatient/pre-school section, in a classroom with two children— a classroom very different from 3 I have ever known. The difference of this classroom is 4 the children have been diagnosed with a mental disease. One child is autistic and non-verbal（自闭和不说话的）, using supportive 5 . The other has a condition called PDD (one step above autism), and is 6 non-verbal. Both childrenrequire strong 7 and a lot of attention. This combination creates an atmosphere which is both demanding and sympathetic.
My 8 in the classroom is not only to help the teacher, but to become part of the children’s 9 experience. I work one-on-one completing academics with a student. 10 , we work as a group on such activities as cooking, artwork, abstract reasoning. Everyday activities, which may be taken for granted by others, 11 a lot of strength from the children. This has opened my eyes vastly.
One of the 12 reasons why I volunteer to take the work is that I desire to help those who are less 13 . However, it has also helped me to realize my competence. I now know that I have the 14 to work with the disabled. I have lost my fear, and I 15 myself a lot more.
It is true that my work is very 16 ; there are many days that I 17 Bradley exhausted emotionally and physically. There have been times when I have left on the edge of tears 18 . But pity doesn’t heal, love does. And I have grown to love these children in my own way, 19 I see them only once a week. This experience has been both rewarding and satisfying. I’ve learned also that I do have the ability to make a difference in their lives, no matter how small it may be. One smile makes it all 20 .

I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to1 me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,2 to look at each other. Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other. In 7th grade, I first lost3 with her. She was 4 family problems and I deserted her. 5 of my new friends liked her6 they knew she had “problems”.
It was last year when I noticed the7 . I guess I was just to catch up in high school to realize she 8 someone there for her. I didn’t know 9, but she started cutting herself!
She was 10 from clinical depression(抑郁), and had to go to a 11 during the day. I was very upset at first but with the late night 12 , and meeting each other at midnight. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend once 13 her since people were calling her crazy.
Yesterday she came to me and said this:“I never knew what a best friend was 14 you were the only person that would 15 me from cutting; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You don’t know this but I was trying to 16 myself that night you called me. You didn’t even know you were 17 me. I owe you so much.”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of 18 from my life is:“never give up on your friends”. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are 19 , they need someone there. If you desert them, you will only be 20 yourself. So if a friend needs you, and you care for them, you can never desert them.
