学进去

Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food. After the first week, I noticed that the food was _______ up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mom. _______, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to _______ her. I saw her taking the food to the street children(流浪儿童). She would also _______ a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out _______ my mom was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as _______ own mother. Then it hit me — why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop _______ food if I found out?

When my mom got home, I gave her a big hug. I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. _______ slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children _______ giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so _______ by how selfless(无私的) she was. As her son, I was so proud.

I continued to buy food for my mom after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.
