As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing thingsfor my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimeslooked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to 36 out at home with even the simplest things.
Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother 37 me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she?d rush to the nearby store and buy a week?s worth of 38 . Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, 39 for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you?d think I?d be very 40 to help her bring the groceries into the house. 41 I wasn?t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the 42 for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.
Don?t get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt 43 about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my 44 . But I also realized that once I did change, there?d be no going back. 45 I took on more responsibility, my parents would start 46 more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would 47 something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) childto a more 48 , caring and giving young man.
I?ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) 49 to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the 50 , I
disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning 51 . Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and 52 back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!
Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the 53 I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could 54 on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest 55 out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day. 36．A. help 37．A.sent 38．A. fruits 39．A. paid 40．A. nervous 41．A. So 42．A. one 43．A. excited 44．A. way 45．A. Since
