"What about me?" I asked.

"I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous," he said. "I don't normally have someone look me in the eye." "They don't know what they're missing," I told him. "My old face is nothing to brag (自夸) about," he said. "But that smile is so big."

 Here are some table manners inAmerica.

Don't circle your plate with your arms. If you do so,you will become the focus (焦點(diǎn))

of the table. Everyone would wonder, "Is there anything wrong with the food?" This may

give a wrong message that you don't like the food or something like that.

Don't push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you want to let the

hostess (女主人) know that you've just done a labor?

Don't lean (倚靠) back and say"I'm through" or   "I'm full". Just put the fork and

knife across the plate. That's all.

Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (塊) at a

time.

Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are?

Don't do that. It's not so good.

It's never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at

hand,simply ask the nearest person for help,like "Mrs. Smith,could you pass me the

dish?"

Years ago I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there,whom I had never met. Yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon,sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by,I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I said to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."

One bright night I decided to clean my flat,including washing the window.

Late in the afternoon,when I finished the cleaning,I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise!Across the way,the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean ！

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批評(píng)) her dirty window,but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart,through my own shortcomings?

My mum says my head is too expensive,because all my operations (手術(shù)) have cost millions of dollars.

I am sick with hydrocephalus. That means " water" in the head.

Water runs through the body like a river,but sometimes it won't leave my head. That water gives me bad headaches and lots of other problems; So doctors put a small tube (管子) in me to take away that water from my head.

When I grow up,I dream of becoming a doctor so that I can take care of kids like me. I have been in the hospital a lot,and my mum is a nurse,so I have learned a lot by watching and asking questions.
