Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with 41 —an gang (团伙)problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often 42 trouble, he decided to do something about it. So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day 43 .
Those fun trips had a(n) 44 impact. A chance encounter(偶遇) in 2000 proved that. One day, 45 working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys 46 .He sensed trouble between them. 47 one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug.” I 48 you. You took me 49 when I was in fifth grade. That was one of the 50 days of my life .”
Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation(基金会)that 51 teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw 52 there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging 53 on the kids,” says Moody.
By turning kids on to fishing, he 54 to present an alternative way of life, “When you’re sitting there waiting for a 55 ,”he says, “you can’t help but talk to each other, and such 56 can be pretty deep.”
“Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer(同龄人)pressures in high school,” says Michelle, 17 who 57 the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother 58 drugs.”
Moody faces 59 in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.” I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my 60 to give back,” Moody says.” If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”
