It was 8:30 and I was lying in the sun, listening to my CD.

Then my mum came out. She wanted me to go out with her. She told me about this place called Give Kids the World. It’s a special place for 　35 to spend a vacation when a child had a life-threatening (致命的) illness. There were several jobs 　36 did there, including gift giving and ice-cream 　37　 . Mum said I would enjoy it, but I expected this was a 　38 job.

I got in the car and Mum drove to this place. There was a house in the village that we went into to do our work. I had to put some 　39 on the back of a golf cart (高爾夫球車). Mum told me we were going to take a toy and an ice-cream to every child in the village.

We got to the first house and I knocked on the door and shouted, “Gift Giving”, and a woman answered it. Sitting in the middle of the living room was a boy in a wheelchair. I gave him the gifts, and his face lighted up with 　40 . I walked out and thought, “That must be painful, unable to jump around.”

As I came into the second house with gifts, it seemed a little strange that the child didn’t 　41 me. Her mum said she was deaf and only partially (部分地) sighted, so I needed to go and stand in front of her. When I 　42 that, she became very excited and made a sign with her hands. Her mum told me this was the sign for 　“ 43 ”.

44 back in the cart, Mum told me these kids might not live to see tomorrow. Suddenly, I 　45 I should be more thankful that I don’t have these illnesses — that I was not in the same 　46 as these kids. I no longer wanted to be at home listening to my CDs. I would rather be doing this, maybe making a difference in these kids’ lives.

A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.
Number One is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometers an hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town. Number Two is a sign that we’re near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number Three is a sign that there is a bend (拐彎) in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go around a bend very fast. Number Four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction (交叉) at this place. Number Five is a sign that there is a hill and Number Six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully. Number Seven has the word “SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number Eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it. The letter “P” means “Parking”. At some places, there are the signs “No parking” or “No waiting”. If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car.
