This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My 36 Tony, had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His 37 had no reason to be thankful to me either, because the year before, I had 38 their dear son with a pot of paste(浆糊) and some funny pictures. Instead of 39 them to a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year, 40 , I decided to let him 41 for himself. We went into a big shop, but Tony was very particular about 42 . Although I tried to show him tou after toy, he was not to be 43 . Then I saw he suddenly became 44 ; he had discovered something he really liked: a large tin dram. I was quite happu too 45 I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any 46 for weeks! I led Tony away 47 , saying that the dram was too expensive. Tony asked for permission to go off 48 and I made the most fo my chance to sit down and 49 my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get 50 and got up to look for him. I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked her helplessly and point ed out that there were so many 52 in grey suit. I was just going to call the police for help, when I saw a strange 53 dressed in stange orange clothes. He was wearing a false beared and had a caveman’s axe(斧子) in one hand, and a space gun in the other hand. It was, of course, Tony, who informed me 54 that he was the first 55 to fly into space.

People in communities have slowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly because people simply aren’t taking the time to say a simple “ hello. ” After considering this phenomenon, I decided I was going to 36 the way I was doing things. My 37 came one morning when I was in the community library. I passed by a girl who 38 her books out of her locker. Thinking like most that someone else would help her pick them up, I continued my way. However, when I had to 39 because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself. No one had stopped to 40 her. “OK,” I thought to myself, “this is where I should have changed.” My best opportunity came a few days later when I saw a man 41 by himself waiting for the library to open, so I sat down next to him and began a 42 . It was difficult to get started, and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every 43 from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it. And who could blame him? People aren’t used to making an 44 chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how 45 it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible. I 46 you to take a small step out of your comfort zone
