Question

Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a relaxation the summer before my busy senior year, ____ my mother asked me to do her a ____. One of her colleagues needed a full－time ____. “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital; why not volunteer to ____ Nick instead？” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a ____ child.

Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centers would not ____ him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium(平衡)problems. He couldn't ____ or run properly. I was hesitating ____ I was to take the job when my mother ____, “Don't you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the ____.”

Then I told her I was ____ for the job.

The day started at 7：00 a．m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little ____ , he was quite a mix.

At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy's face ____ up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be___ to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn't! It took time, a lot of time. But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his ____ and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.

Halfway through the summer, he ____ it to the top of the slide. With my arms ___ him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his reaction. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big ____ and asked, “May I go down again, alone？”

I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children ____ for granted.

This ____ child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.
