After the birth of my second child, Igot a job at a restaurant. Having worked with an experienced waitress for a few months, I was 1  to wait tables on my own. All went 2 that first week. When Saturday night came, I was luckily given the table not far from the kitchen. 3, I still felt it a little hard to carry the heavy trays(托盘).

    Before I knew it, the restaurant was full of people. I moved slowly, minding every step. I remember how  4 I was when I saw the tray stand（支架） near the tables; it looked different from the one I was 5 on. It had nice handles, which made it  6 to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to believe I was natural at this job.

    Then, an old man came to me and said,“Excuse me, dear, my wife and I love watching you work. It seems your traystand has been very 7to you, but we are getting ready to leave now, and my wife needs her 8back. ”

At first his idea did not get across.“What was he talking about!” Then, I got it. I had set my trays on his wife'sorthopedic walker(助步器). Istood frozen as ice, but my face was 9 . I wanted to get into a hole and hide.

    Since then, I have learned from many mistakes such as the one I just 10 , I have learned to be more careful and not to be sure of myself.

    A man came home from work late, tired and found his 5-year-old son1 for him at the door. “Daddy, may I ask you a question ?” “Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man. “Daddy2do you make each hour?” “If you must know, I make $20 an hour.” “ Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down, He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, may I please 3 $10?” the father was furious, “If you asked4 the money to buy a silly toy, then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish（自私的）!” The little boy 5went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was 6he really needed to buy with that $10 and he didn't really ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and 7 the door." Are you8 son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy. "I've been 9 maybe I was too hard 10you just now." said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, he 11 under his pillow and pulled out some coins. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. “Why do you want 12 money since you already have some?” the father shouted13“Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.” the little boy replied, “Daddy , I have $20 now. Can I buy 14hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like15 dinner with you.”

    When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I told my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could1have that money.

    On my birthday my parents told me they had my2outside in the backyard. At once I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, 3it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so disappointing(令人失望的)! I thought I4 my parents' feelings because I could see the disappointment5 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I 6 the old bike and rode it, feeling7that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn't look back...

    As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me 8 much more than just a rusty(生锈的)old bike. They gave me a life lesson about9. When you give something out of love, it doesn't matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love in it. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money. It's about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that10 two dollars isn't less valuable than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.

My brother Tom is very kind. He is always ready to help people who are in{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(苦恼). Now he is studying in a university. At the same time, he is a volunteer at a local after-school p{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. It {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(提供) some service to those who are not good at their studies. 

Last year, he s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} up a special website for the disabled children. At first, he met many difficulties. However, he worked them out quickly. He also called up more helpers to join the program. They spent{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(数个) hours with the children every week and taught them how to take care of themselves. Many parents feel e{#blank#}6{#/blank#}because they can't imagine their children can study like normal children. 

"W{#blank#}7{#/blank#}Tom's website, the program would be unable to have enough helpers to help us. I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction (满意)" one of the program {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(主人) says. 

"I feel happy to teach those children how to study. The happiest thing is that I can also{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(发展) myself and it can make my dream come{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(实现)." Tom says.
