picking on a smaller, skinnier boy. They were 1 him names and even pushed him to the ground and
kicked dirt in his face. 2 I saw that, I walked over to the group.
I stepped 3 them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done worthy of
4 they were doing to him. One of the boys replied, "He"s weird." At that, I asked one of the boys if
he thought his friend was weird, and the 5 was "No." So, I asked another boy what the word "weird"
6 , and he said, "Different." That was my cue (暗示). I told them that everyone is 7 , and that they
all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood 8 for a moment, and then
the most amazing thing happened. One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry
to him. He 9 to let him play with them.
I thanked the boy for being so 10 . As I looked around, I realized that there were dozens of other people
at the park 11 no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt happy that the boy was strong enough to
stand up against his friends to 12 someone in need, but I felt sad that 13 else had even taken a second
look.
I hope that my action helped them 14 that they could have made a difference with a little 15 , and
maybe next time they will be the ones who choose to help.

When I was seven years old my mom was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer. The doctors told us my mom might be saved with surgery (手术). But it could also kill her. She chose to have it. The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, "Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see." The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared. My mother managed to live through the surgery. Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared. I also understand how unselfish a mother is. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
