Question

I work as a volunteer（志愿者）for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week hoping to 36 him.
Before setting out I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 37 . For the first two days he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too 38 for a 17-year-old. Then on Day three as we were 39 over high rocky mountains he turned to me and grinned（咧嘴笑） “Pretty hard. ”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl wearing a dress several sizes 40 large and broken shoes followed Barrett around mesmerized （着迷）. He couldn’t stop 41 . Later he said 42 . “I wish I could speak French.” I was 43 －this from a boy who hated and 44 French classes throughout school.
Usually silent he 45 Gaby our host and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He blossomed（活泼起来）.
46 the moment that really took 47 breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was 48 a woman villager for an article. 135 centimeters tall she was small in figure but strong in 49 . Through determination she had learned to read and write and 50 to become part of the leadership of the 51 .
Learning her story Barrett was as 52 as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a 53 of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.
When leaving for home Barrett even offered to stay 54 as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This 55 achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18 ^th birthday. He’ll be a man.
