Hope in my arms
Last year, I was invited to participate in a carnival（嘉年华） for Tuesday' s Child, an organization that helps children with AIDS.
All the children that had 1 at one special room could paint a square on a piece of cloth. Later the squares would be sewn(缝) together to 2 a quilt. The quilt would be presented to a man who had devoted his life to the 3 and would soon be retiring.
The kids were given paints in bright colors and asked to paint something that would make the quilt beautiful. As I looked around at all the squares, I saw pink hearts, blue clouds, orange sunrises and red flowers. The pictures were all bright and 4 . All except one.
One boy was painting a heart, but it was dark and lifeless. It lacked the bright colors that his fellow artists had used. I asked why. He told me that he was very 5 and so was his mom. He said that his sickness was not ever going to get better and 6 was his mom's. He looked 7 into my eyes and said, \"There is no hope in my life.\"
I told him I was sorry and I could understand why he had made his heart a dark color. I told him that 8 we couldn't make him better, we can give 9 , which can really help when you are feeling sad. I told him that if he would like, I would be happy to give him one so he could see what I meant. 10 , he crawled(爬上) into my lap（大腿）. I thought my own heart would burst for this sweet little boy. He sat there for a long time. Finally he slipped 11 to finish his coloring.
As I was getting ready to 12 home, I felt a tug (猛拽) on my jacket. Standing there was the little boy, 13 . He said, \"My heart is changing 14 . It is getting brighter. I think those hugs really do 15 .\" On my way home I felt my own heart. It too had changed to a brighter color. 1. A. come 2. A. fold 4. A. empty 5. A. curious 6. A. so 8. A. so that 9. A. hugs 11.
