I had bright red hair and huge glasses. Besides, I was 1 and not very popular. Getting on the school bus that first day, I felt like all eyes on me. I could hear the words Shes huge! Clearly, the kids on the bus had known each other well. I spent that first bus 2 in silence. The following day was even worse.

For most of that time, he wore sport coats most of the year, in weather cold or warm, and if I remember correctly, there were patches (补丁) on these sport 1 . He wore small glasses, a thick mustache, and his hair was dark, dusted with gray.I took his course when I was a junior, and the first 2 we read was “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.” He showed us a picture of James Joyce-the writer. In it, Joyces hands were as if paddling through water. Mr. Criche asked if anyone knew why the artist had 3 Joyce that way, and I raised my hand. “Is he swimming through a stream of consciousness(意识)?” Mr. Criche praised the answer, and a wave of support swept over me. I hadnt known, until that moment, how badly Id 4 his support. I was going through some 5 times at school and at home-my face and back were covered in acne (痤疮), my chest was concave (凹的), my last name sounded like food-but in that class, I felt I had worth.

I got a good grade on it, and below the grade Mr. Criche wrote, “ Sure hope you become a writer.” 6 those six words. It was the first time he or anyone had showed writing was a career 7 for me. I dont remember Mr. Criche 8 us how to take standardized tests, but when we took them, we did well. I dont remember Mr. Criche teaching his lesson toward any state-regulated curricula, but we did pretty well. Why? Because he was hungry for 9 , so we were hungry, too.

Then he told me that his best friend George had leukemia (白血病). He did this in order to help him out of 8 .With tears full of my eyes, I put the gloves that I bought for him into his hands.“Will the cancer research give you something to thank you for doing this?”“Oh yes!” the boy said and his eyes 9 up with joy, “They sure do!

He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole bigger. The butterfly came out 3 , but it looked a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin 4 . The butterfly didnt start to fly. In fact, it has to spend the rest of its life crawling (爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly. The boy acted with 5 but he didnt understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of getting out of the cocoon 6 the fluid (液体) from the butterflys body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be 7 to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze (挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.

I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he 2 to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him. 3 I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state (半清醒状态). On my knees, I said softly, “Hello, Grandpa.”Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know. While I asked about how he was, he told me, “Ill be fine, Henry.” although we both knew that wasnt true. Then he asked me with a smile 4 I was doing.Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much 5 . I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage I had, I hold his hand tightly. I 6 out, “Grandpa. I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure.” By this time, tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know, became 7 .Smilingly, he said, “I know. Thank you for telling me that. All I have on this planet is my family and my love for 8 . If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family, your mother, your father, and your brother. Thats all I want of you.”What I learned that day 9 my whole life.From then on, I began telling people how much I love them, care for them, and respect them. I get in touch with, for example, my babysitter, my barber, to 10 my appreciation. I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless. I wake up every morning and list everything Im thankful to in my life.1. A. ke
