    When I was ten, I was crazy about candy. Whenever in our small-town 1 with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favourite candy on the shelf.

    Once I noticed a man pushing buttons on the ATM machine. He seemed to be hurriedly waiting for his cash to appear. He quickly got a pile of bills and headed out. Curiously I walked over and saw a beautiful $100 bill at the bottom of the machine.2I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear. I knew the man must have left it behind.

    I held the money in my hand, looking at the number "100" and feeling 3 than I ever had. I thought about putting the money into my pocket. No one would know, but it didn't feel4.So I told my mom what had happened. "We will look for him." she said. We rushed out and found him stepping into his car! We went over and asked if he had left money at the cash machine.

    "Let me 5" he said, pulling out his wallet and bill. "One hundred, two hundred, three...Oh!You're right," he said with surprise. "I'm 6a $100 bill."

    "Here you go," I said, smiling with pride, as if I was a detective who solved a mystery. "Thank you so much," he said. Before saying goodbye, he asked me for my name and address.

    On my way home, my7 was racing. 100 dollars. What could I have done with it? I bet I could have bought a puppy or every single candy bar or something else in town! But now 8 of that would happen. Yet I knew I had done the right thing.

    A few weeks later, I got a box with a note. I opened it to find packages of candy.

    "Dear Felice ， thank you very much for returning my $100. Your are a great girl, and I appreciate(欣赏)your 9action. I hope you enjoy this candy. Best wishes, Tom." The candy tasted sweet. Although my act wouldn't always be 10 with candy, it would make a difference to someone. And that was the sweetest part of all.

    "Look, Donnie," she said standing beside 9. "I have something to show you." She10the erasers, one at a time, and put them on the desk.

    "See these erasers, Donnie?" she said. "do you know 11these erasers become smaller and smaller? That's because we make mistakes. But we erase(擦掉) the mistakes and try 12. That's what you must learn."

    "Here," she said," I'll13one eraser on your desk, so you'll remember that 14may make mistakes." Donnie looked at Mary and smiled.

    The world needs love and many people need our help. Several years ago, my teachers asked me to take part in a programme that helped those who were1. Each week, I spent an hour in the classroom helping children with schoolwork, art projects, games and other2, including eating. My mother is a teacher, so I am used to helping children. However, I found that working with children with a special need would3my life forever.

    At first, I thought it would be4to be with the children who were so different, but gradually I found there was something special about these students. So there was no need to worry about it. Each Thursday I was welcomed by the smiling faces of Thomas, Joey and Missy. Thomas had to sit on the wheelchair. He communicated with simple words5yes and no. Joey, a deaf girl, always welcomed me with a big smile. Missy was born with a kind of6and it made her really small for her age. In a normal classroom, it may be common to hear a teacher comfort a child who is tapping his pencil, speaking7, or making unnecessary noises. However, here, shouts, cries, and other noises were8. They were signs of excitement and different ways of communicating.

    Working with children with a special need has changed my life. It has made me9others' needs. One of my teachers believes that we should be part of something bigger than10. I never realized how true this was until I worked with these children. I believe everyone should get out and do something that makes a difference.
