Passage 13
（2019中考选练）
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 1 to spend a vacation when a child had a life-threatening (致命的) illness. There were several jobs 2 did there, including gift giving and ice-cream 3 . Mum said I would enjoy it, but I expected this was a 4 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 5 on the back of a golf cart (高尔夫球车). 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 6 . 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 7 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 8 that, she became very excited and made a sign with her hands. Her mum told me this was the sign
for “ 9 ”.
10 back in the cart, Mum told me these kids might not live to see tomorrow. Suddenly, I 11 I should be more thankful that I don’t have these illnesses — that I was not in the same 12 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.
