When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community service work.There was one specific
event that was unusual for me.I spent three or four hours handin g out warm dinner to the homeless out
in the streets.After that I went to a homeless shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to__1__.She wanted to help, __2__
she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to__3__and hand out to people.When
getting to the homeless shelter__4__passed out the re maining meals.__5__, I began making sandwiches
and__6__them with the crowd.I had the containers with my__7__cookies in them and began to__8__,
offering them to anyone near me. I__9__an old gentleman and said, "Sir, would you like a cookie?" He
stopped and turned around, __10__and said, "What did you say?Did you call me sir?" I told him I
__11__, and his eyes__12__a little bit and he said, "No one has__13__called me sir." So he__14__.
It struck me.
I explained I had been raised that__15__color and social status, everyone deserved respect.It
__16__me to think that just because he was homeless, no one__17__him the honor.It broke my heart,
and I__18__I just didn"t understand__19__no one ever called him sir?I had never thought that anyone
was below me because I wasn"t raised that way.Every__20__person deserves to be treated with dignity.
Years later, I still carry that memory and the lessons it taught me.Sometimes, what we take for granted
can really make a difference in someone"s life.

D. reminded | | 阅读理解 | I"m a 21yearold boy, and this is my story.
A month after I graduated from high school in 2004, I was coming home from swim practice and was
involved in a car accident.I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma (昏迷) for over two months at
Prince Georges Hospital.
I died eight times during my coma and I couldn"t talk or communicate when I woke up.Walking was
never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.Just like my body, my dreams were shattered (破灭). But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream.
After 14 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to learn how to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live
independently again.When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy (门诊治疗) in
Waldorf, Maryland.After spending a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own.
It was a miracle (奇迹) that I could walk again, but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but
run.When it came true, I wanted to get back in the pool again.After a few lung tests, I was able to go in
the pool a little bit each week.After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St.Mary"s College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story,  I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to live each day
to the fullest and inspire other people to never give up on their dreams no matter how bad a situation is.I
remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me around in my
 wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families.I wanted to let
them know that everything was going to be okay.Somehow, things would work out for the best.
