Suddenly the doorbell rang, there stood a delivery man．"This is a 54 ," I said, but he read the name on the parcels and they were for me．I looked for the name of the sender and found it was the lady．

My mom is a teacher．She finds a lesson in everything．I was watching Sesame Street by my second birthday so I’d 16 my ABCs and 123s．Our weekly family trips to the library began when I was three．And my mom had me spotting （认出） the historical markers with childlike 17 on family vacations by the time I was six．For her, life was all about learning．But the biggest lesson she 18 me was never to let my 19 define who I am, and never forget what is 20 in life．
I was born with Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome, an extremely 21 genetic bone and muscular disorder．There are only about 100 reported 22 ．At birth, my knees were bent more than 90 degrees, and I had my first surgery to 23 them when I was just six weeks old．This surgery was the first of many in my 24 ．I’d had 26 surgeries by the time I was 15．
Strange as it 25 , I have good memories of my medical days．One of my 26 is about my mom and me being in the hospital cafeteria（自助餐厅）．We sat down for an ice cream sandwich dessert．It was 27 fancy, but at that moment, I knew I was 28 ．

Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans．With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell．Upon its 36 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes．I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 37 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves．But something made David 38 ．I can still remember he was always 39 a smile and willing to help．He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor．We never talked much．He 40 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home
Weeks passed and the 41 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break．I smiled in 42 as the last of them hurried out of the door．Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk．
"I have something for you．" he said and 43 from behind his back a small box． 44 it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it．" I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it．I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing．I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it’s 45 ．"
"Oh no it isn’t" said David．"It’s full of love．My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there．"
Tears filled my eyes 46 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to．After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 47 the little empty box set on my desk．

My first memories of acts of kindness are from when I was about 12 years old. From then on I always 36 at home and with friends.
That winter I notice that many 37 people had difficulty getting to the 38 store after a snowstorm. So I started to spend part of a 39 Saturday knocking at apartment doors to ask if any one needed 40 from the store.

It started with 43 alone and then the number grew. A short time later, my 44 in the building asked what I was doing and a couple of them 45 and it became a routine.

I did this every 49_ up to when I left to go to college.
When I was away at 50 , many people asked my mom how I was doing. Through those conversations she 51 what I used to do -—I had never told her.

What a 49 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 50 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby．

Even so, Roebling could not 17 the idea in his mind. After much discussion, he 18 convince his son Washington, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. They hired their 19 and began to build their dream bridge.
Only a few months 20 the project was underway a tragic on-site accident killed John Roebling and 21 injured his son, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to move or 22 .

The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(说明书). And each child is 36 . So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration(挫折), not 37
what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is 38 by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American 39 . To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children 40 on their own two feet. From 41 each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they get more 42 to make their own choices. 43 choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to 44 them with. When they 45 young adulthood, they choose their own jobs and marriage 46 . Of course, many young adults still 47
their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make. But once they “leave the 48 ” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own , not 49 to their mother’s apron strings (围裙带). The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to 50 their children as individuals—not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to achieve their own 51 . Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the 52
to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a (an) 53 among equals. But 54 to popular belief, most adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to 55 . Even as adult, they respect and honor their parents.

And when some of my teammates said he did it on purpose to 41 me from scoring， I felt even 42 .
Now I stand here， with tears in my eyes. I don’t want to 43 those words but I don’t know how to persuade myself they are 44 . Then everything changes when Jack scores and wins！ How excited I am！
While I am still 45 in excitement， someone pats my shoulder. It is Jack， with a smile on his face. “I’m sorry that you can not join in because of my 46 . But you see， Jason， we beat them！ No matter whether you joined in or not， you’ve made a contribution. Come on， let’s celebrate！” Suddenly， I am 47 by the players. The sunshine is so bright that I close my eyes. Riding high above my teammates， I feel so happy. And I know the friendship between Jack and me will last forever.
