2．The definition of community has evolved （升華） for me from childhood to the young adult I am now.My mom was born in America but both her parents were from the Bahamas.It was their culture to take care of the elderly and the sick.And my mom has taught me to be caring to those around us because we're all a part of the "community"，an extension of family.
When I was 9 years old，my family moved to Cape Coral，F(xiàn)lorida.Both mom and dad worked full-time，so they registered me to attend an after-school program at the Youth Center.Youth counselors （輔導(dǎo)員） would help me with my homework and play games with me and this was where my interest took root.Community service started with me giving back at the Youth Center.
Then illness struck at home.My grandmother had to have heart surgery and needed hospital treatment.This experience brought me to volunteer at Cape Coral Hospital.I asked if I could learn from the nurse how to give my grandma her medicine and it started here.
I loved being at Cape Coral Hospital.I would bring paperwork to other doctors，bring food to the patients，and make sure the patients were attended.I would help direct visitors to see patients.I would always tell what would cheer the patients up because I had built a relationship with them and their loved ones.I grew to feel the hospital was a part of my community.
After volunteering at the Youth Center and at the Hospital，I've learned that people become sort of an extended family when you care about them.Now I am more considerate of those close to me，neighbors and even strangers who share my resources.

Today was Community Service Day at school.Maya's class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home.It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace （腿支架） to school，which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning，Maya looked down，feeling embarrassed.To make it lovelier，she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns.Still，she was unsure about others' reaction.All morning at school，kids kept glancing at her brace.To her relief，they didn't say anything.
In the classroom，Maya was drawing little green buds （芽） and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her.She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking， "What's that for？" Not knowing what to say，Maya pretended she didn't hear him.After a few seconds of awkwardness，she glanced back at him，and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch，the class set off.The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path.Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old.There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair，with a big smile on her face，sat the lady，wearing a pink coat，with red lipstick and beautiful earrings.She looked bright and full of life.Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir，she greeted first. "I'm Joan， " she said cheerfully， "Glad to meet you. "
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made.Joan looked at Samir's card carefully and spoke with admiration， "You've written a poem!That's so artistic!" Samir's face reddened with shyness.Then Joan turned to Maya's picture. "The first flowers of spring!" she cried in delight. "You really have a gift for using colour!" she said.Clearly，Joan's praise added great power into Maya.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
