     Claude and Louris are “giraffes”. So are police offices Hankins and Pearson. There men and women don’t look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them “giraffes”?

     A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks its neck out, can see places far away and has a large heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a “giraffe” can be a person who likes to “stick his or her neck out” for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.

     “The Giraffe Project” is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors “giraffe” in the US and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members believe that a person shouldn’t draw his and her head back; instead, they tell people to “stick their neck out” and help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 “giraffes” that the group found and honored.

     Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a palace to    keep warm and they decided that should “stick their neck out” and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends’House, where they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night.

     Police offices Hankins and Parson work in a large city, They see crlmes every day and their work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to star an educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly “giraffes”.

Mr Dawson was an old man with a bad temper (脾氣), and everyone in town knew it. Kids couldn’t go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground.

One Friday, 　46　 Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house 　47　 the way to Amy’s house. But when they got close to Dawson’s house, Janet saw him 　48　 in the front porch and suggested they crossed over to 49　 side of the street. Like most of the children, she was afraid of the old man 50　

the stories she had heard about him.

　 Amy told Janet 　51　 . Mr Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing

52　 nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house. When they got close enough,

Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, he suddenly smiled and said, “Hello, Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson gave them each an apple of his tree. When they got out, Janet asked Amy，“Everyone says he is hard to get along with, but why he is so friendly

　 53　 us?”

Amy explained, at first he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible (看不見的) smile and so she always smiled back at him. It 　 54　 a long time, one day he half-smiled back at her.

“An invisible smile?” asked Janet.

“Yes.” answered Amy. “My grandma told me if I pretended not to be afraid of him and I smiled at him, he would really smile　 55　 . Grandma says smile is contagious.” ( 有感染力的)

If we remember what Amy’s grandma said that everyone wears an invisible smile, we will find that most people can’t resist(抗拒)our smile after a while.
