Every time I drove down our street, I noticed an old man sitting in his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking, and looking rather unhappy.One day, while I was driving past him with my 1 , I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement. 2 , when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit surprised. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.“ 3 did you wave at him?” my daughter asked.I told her it’s just an act of kindness that doesn’t 4 anything. It gives both him and me a feeling of joy. My daughter replied that she felt a bit unfortable to wave to a stranger, but next time she would try it as well.We lived close to the old man, 5 we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and, pretty soon, the old man started 6 at everyone who passed by his house.One time, my daughter’s friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home wave at her very 7 . She mentioned that she waved back, although she didn’t know him, and it felt really good.As soon as my daughter heard this, she told her friend the 8 of how all the waving began. Her friend answered: “Tell your mom that’s really cool!”O(jiān)ther friends gave similar 9 . This taught my daughter that an act of kindness can be natural and 10 , if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness can do good to both the giver and the receiver.（ ） （ ） now time the end the beginning（ ） （ ） （ ）5. （ ） （ ） （ ） （ ） （ ） （6）I sat in my seat，as my new grade six classmates found theirs. “OK, class. Wele to a new school year. I’m Mr. Stevens and I’m sure we’ll have a new cooperation（合作）.” He walked around the class，giving out math books. When he was done, he 1 _ to the front of the class and looked at us. We stared（注視）back.“What are you waiting for? Get started！” he said.We looked at him 2 . Wasn’t he going to teach us?“Is there something wrong with your 3 ? You’re not all deaf, are you?” One 4 boy at the back of the class asked what we all wanted to know. Mr. Stevens replied.“You’re smart kids. Open your books and get to it. If you have any 5 ,raise your hands, and I’ll help you.” Mr. Stevens helped anyone who was stuck(卡住) in a problem, one after another. 6 when we all had the same question, he would stop us to teach us all. It was a 7 method of teaching, but it was very useful.It was a 8 point in my life. Mr. Stevens made me 9 I was good at math and also able to reach the best of any class I attended. I studied with his help until I left middle school.I’ve carried his lessons with me all my life. Whenever I am faced with a new challenge（挑戰(zhàn)）,I think of my first day in grade six math. 10 sitting and staring at the challenge, I just get started.
