1、I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College. One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.

I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito.

For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any "human being" should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn't experienced in a long time.

I often think about this story because, to me, it's not just about helping someone out by feeding them. It's more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves.

20、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Maggie was an average teenager who often felt invisible among her peers (同龄人). She felt like she was an outsider. School, in particular, was a source of anxiety for her.

When she was depressed, she would hide in her small garden. But the plants there never seemed to thrive (繁茂). It was always a disappointment, and she felt discouraged. "I am just a loser," she thought to herself.

One day, while visiting a gardening website, Maggie discovered an exciting smart device called "GreenThumb." It claimed to help even the most inexperienced gardeners grow amazing plants. Interested, she decided to give it a try.

As soon as Maggie received the GreenThumb device and unboxed it, she carefully followed the set up steps, and within minutes, GreenThumb was activated and began to scan (扫描) the garden. Imagine having a cool device that tells you exactly what the plants need — like a personal plant caretaker! It reminds you to water, gives you tips on when to feed your plants, and even warns you about diseases. GreenThumb was just like a friend who always cared and helped.

During a lunch break at school, some classmates began discussing the latest events that had happened. Maggie wanted to share GreenThumb with others, too. But her voice was soon drowned out by louder voices. The conversation soon shifted to music, with each person talking about their favorite song or artist. Maybe they didn't hear her. Or they were just uninterested. She sank into silence, feeling unseen and unheard again. "I'll show you what I can do with GreenThumb," she said to herself with determination.

Every day after school, Maggie couldn't wait to take care of her garden. She spent countless hours in her garden tending to each plant. At first, she strictly followed GreenThumb's instructions. As time went by, she found her own talent in gardening and added some creative ideas to make her garden unique.
