科I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was sociology(社会学). The teacher was really great. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people.
I am a very        person and thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after, my husband, youngest son and I went out to McDonald’s. We were standing in line, waiting to be        , when all of a sudden everyone around us began to      away, and then even my husband did.
As I turned around I smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor         men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, he was “      ”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God’s Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, “Good day.” as he counted the few        he had been holding.
The young lady at the counter(柜台) asked him what they        . He said, “Coffee is all Miss.” because that was all they could afford. He just needed to be warm.
Then I really         it—the compulsion(冲动) was so great that I almost       out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give         two more breakfast meals on two plates.
I then picked up the plates and walked around the counter to the              that the men had chosen as a resting place. I put the plates on the table and laid my hand on the  blue-eyed gentleman’s         hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:acceptance without condition.

Dad lost his job after arguing(争吵) with the boss, and when Christmas came that year, we had no money at all. On Christmas Eve, Dad took me out into the park. I had a blanket(毛毯) wrapped(卷绕) around me, so I offered to share         with Dad, but he said no thanks. We looked             at the sky. Those shining stars were one of the        treats for people like us who lived out in the wildness(荒凉). Rich city people, he’d say, live in fantastic flats, but their air was so polluted(污染的) that they could not even see the stars.

“Right,” Dad said, “But you can suppose it is yours. And when you do that, it is yours.”
       my head, looked at the stars, and tried to figure out(断定) which was the best one. Then, I found one.
“I        that one.” I said.
Dad smiled. “That’s Venus(金星),” he said, “Venus was only a planet. She looked bigger and brighter because she was much        than the stars. Poor old Venus didn’t even make her own light. She shone only from reflected(反射)        .”
“I like it anyway,” I said, “I had loved Venus even        that Christmas. You could see it in the early evening, and if you got up early, you could still see it in the morning, after all the stars had disappeared.”
Dad said, “Ok, it’s Christmas. I        your decision. You can have it if you want.” And he gave me Venus.
We all laughed about the kids who believed in the Santa myth(圣诞传说) and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch(堆) of cheap plastic toys. “Many years later, when all the junk(废物) they got is broken and long forgotten,” Dad said, “you will        have your star.”

Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I   16   love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good   17  for the team.
A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the   18  . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five-member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup(替补).  19  , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a   20  and the top eight scorers(得分者) would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a   21  way to decide.
Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up(阵容). Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a few hours, all the   22  on the team were chosen except one. Carla and I tied(打成平手) for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition   23  the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead(领先).  24  I saw the look on Carla's face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted   25  even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla   26  , just by a little bit. She felt sorry for my not being on the team as she   27  she would be on the show. And since I will go as backup, I’ll still have the fun of   28  the show up close.
Was I cheating(欺骗) by not trying as hard as I could? I don’t think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn’t   29  it. It won’t hurt the team   30  Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.
