While I was in hospital for back surgery (手术) recently I was looked after by a nurse called Deitrich. She worked the __1__ shifts (轮班) and took very good care of me.
One night things were __2__ and when Deitrich came in to take my blood pressure we started to talk about our family situation. Then she asked what I enjoyed doing most. I __3__ that I liked helping people and doing __4__ work. Deitrich said she thought she would __5__ doing that kind of thing too, perhaps with her church.
The day I was discharged (出院) we __6__ and she gave me a kiss on the cheek. In __7__ I gave her a smile card and ten dollars. She didn't want the __8__ but I told her to read the card and __9__ her the money was from my heart. “Now you have the __10__ to do something for yourself or make a(n) __11__ for someone else，” I said. She paused and __12__ the offer in the end. We hugged and she told me she __13__ give the money to a woman she knew from __14__ who was having medical problems.
Deitrich gladly thanked me for my __15__ and with that ten dollars bought five lottery tickets in her church's name. As __16__ would have it one of the tickets won a hundred and fifty dollars which she __17__ to the church's food pantry. She __18__ me a week later and told me what had happened. She __19__ asked if I had any more smile cards! The people in her church all __20__ one!
God bless Deitrich and her church and all the people who want to make a difference for the better in this world!
