Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with  16  an gang (團(tuán)伙)problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often  17   trouble, he decided to do something about it. So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day   18    .
Those fun trips had a(n) 19  impact. A chance encounter in 2000 proved that. One day,  20  working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys   21   .He sensed trouble between them.  22   one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug.”I 23   you. You took me    24   when I was  in fifth grade. That was one of the  25   days of my life .”
Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation（基金會(huì)）that  26  teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw  27  there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging  28  on the kids,” says Moody.
By turning kids on to fishing, he  29  to present an alternative way of life, “When you’re sitting there waiting for a  30 ,”he says, “you can’t help but talk to each other, and such  31  can be pretty deep.”
“Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer（同齡人）pressures in high school,” says Michelle, 17 who  32  the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother  33  drugs.”
Moody faces 34 in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.”I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my  35 to give back,” Moody says.”If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”
