BGrowing up in my Grandma’s house as a boy was an experience that would shape me for the rest of my life. We were poor in everything but  21 .  yet I learned so much about life there. My Mom, Dad, Grandma, two  22 , and I were all  23  into a home made from two old shabby cars. I always knew what my next  24  would look like because I had seen my older brother  25  them the year before, I always knew what we were going to be  26  in winter, because I had  27  it in the garden during the summer.  28 . I never felt poor. No king ever ate as good as we did on Sundays after church when Grandma  29  her homemade meatballs, spaghetti（意大利式细面条）and freshly baked bread.30  we had so little I can still remember Dad, Mom, and Grandma giving so much. We were always  31  with others. Everyone who  32  our family could expect a  33  of spaghetti, or a jar of vegetables, or a flower pot full of fresh flowers. I can still remember my parents’ eyes  34  whenever they passed something on to others. We never felt  35  than when we shared what we were given. I leamed early that the greatest joy comes from giving  36  getting. Giving makes your spirit greater.Don’t be afraid to  37  what you have to others. Share everything you have. If you have a beautiful  38 , then smile at whoever you come across. If you have a few extra dollars, then give them to the people in need. If you have a  39  talent, then share it with others. If you have a heart full of love, then give it to everyone. No life ever truly lives  40  it becomes a gift, so make your whole life a gift to the world.
