Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess
approached me and asked, " Would you mind   1   your seat? A couple would like to sit together." The
only   2   seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts (石膏绷带), a black-and-blue face, and a sad
expression. "  3   am I going to sit there," I thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, "She needs
help." Finally, I   4   to move to that seat.
    The girl was named Kathy. She  5   hurt in a car accident and now was on her way for  6  .
    When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to   7   that Kathy would not be able to 
  8   herself. I considered   9   to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too   10   to offer a service to a
  11  . But then I realized that Kathy's need was more   12   than my discomfort. I offered to help her
eat, and   13    she was uncomfortable to accept, she   14   as I expected. We became closer and
closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart   15   , and the   16   was
really better spent than if I had just sat by myself.
     I was very glad I had reached   17   my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love   18   
flows beyond human borders and removes the fears that keep us  19  . When we   20   to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.
