Many years ago  my dad was diagnosed (診斷) with a terminal illness . He was unable to work at     36  job . He would be fine for quite a while , but would then fall suddenly   37    and have to be admitted to the hospital .
He wanted to do something to keep himself    38   , so he decided to volunteer at the local children    39   . My dad loved kids . He would talk to them and play with them .Sometimes , he would    40   one of his kids . In certain instances , he would give   41    to the sad parents of these children .
One of his kids was a girl who had been admitted with a    42   disease that paralyzed (使…癱瘓) her from the neck down . I don’t know the    43   of the disease , but I do know that it was very sad for a little girl . My dad decided to try to help her . He started    44   her in her room , bringing paints , brushes and paper . He stood the paper up    45   a backing , put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint . He didn’t use his hands at all . Only his    46   would move . He would visit her    47   he could and paint for her . All the while he would tell her , “see , you can do    48   you set your mind to .”
  49    , she began to paint using her mouth , and she and my dad became friends . Soon after , the little girl was discharged (允許出院). My dad also    50   the children hospital for a little while because he became ill. Sometime later after my dad had recovered and    51   to work , he was at the volunteer counter one day and    52   the front door open . In came the little girl who had been paralyzed , but this time she was    53   . She ran straight to my dad and hugged him really tight . She gave my dad a picture she had done using her   54    . At the bottom it read, “thank you for helping me walk .” Sometimes love is more    55   than doctors , and my dad-who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture-loved every single child in that hospital .

Robby was 11 years old when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I  36  that students begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby, but Robby said that it had been his mother’s  37  to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student.

Hard  38  Robby tried, he lacked the basic sense of music. However, he persisted, and at the end of each weekly  39 , he always said, “My mom’s going to hear me play some day.” But it seemed  40 . He just did not have any gift for music.

I only knew his mother from a distance as she dropped Robby  41  or waited in her old car to  42  him up. She always  43  and smiled but never visited my class. Then one day Robby  44  coming to our lessons. He telephoned me and said his mother was  45 .

Several weeks later I was preparing my students for the upcoming recital(獨(dú)奏會(huì))  46  Robby came and asked me if he could be in the recital. “Miss Hondorf ... I’ve just got to  47 !” he insisted. I agreed.

The night for the recital came. The high school gymnasium was  48  with parents, friends and relatives. The recital went off well. Finally Robby came up on stage. I was  49  when he announced that he had chosen Mozart’s Concerto(協(xié)奏曲) No. 21 in C Major. I was not  50  what I heard next. His fingers were light on the keys. He played so  51  that everyone  52  to applaud him. In tears I ran up on  53 . “Oh, Robby! How did you do it?”

“Well, Miss Hondorf ... I kept on  54  at home. Remember I told you my mom was sick? Well, _55  she had cancer and passed away this morning. And well ... she was born deaf, so tonight was the first time she ever heard me play ...”

Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a relaxation the summer before my busy senior year, __36__ my mother asked me to do her a __37__.

Then I told her I was __46__ for the job.

The day started at 7：00 a．m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little __47__ , he was quite a mix.

At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy's face __48__ up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be__49__ to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn't! It took time, a lot of time. But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his __50__ and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.

Halfway through the summer, he __51__ it to the top of the slide. With my arms __52_ him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his reaction. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big __53__ and asked, “May I go down again, alone？”

I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children __54__ for granted.

This __55__ child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.
