Question

 (江西省師大附中2009屆高三三模試卷)

It was a cold evening and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora did. She wasn’t even four, but she  36  at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy,  37  we take him home?”

    I don’t remember my reply. But I do remember a sudden  38  feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her  39 , whether it was  40  in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing  41  and beggary.

    A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and  42  it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I  43  us up. Nora was  44  about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how  45  our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to  46  myself to leave the house. On the way to the school, I fought an urge to turn  47 . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting at home. Why do this?  48 , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She  49  us right over.

    The building was in a sad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. 50  inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears.

    Professionals call such a(n)  51  “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities, I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have opportunity to do something  52  that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve to needy people and  53  clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve  54  her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has  55  more?
