完形填空。
One summer in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp.
I first
1 a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obvious
2 and shyness made him appear
weak and lonely. Nearby, 200
13 campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be
anywhere
4 where he was.

5 . So I
6 him and said, "Hi, I'm Kevin.
It's nice to meet you. How are you?"
7 a shaky voice he

11 to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn't be right to
12 him, either. It was going to take more time and

The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just
sitting alone,
14 out the window.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my
15 about him known. I asked them to pay special
attention and spend time with him

The days flew by fast. When the "last dance" came, surprisingly, the boy from under the tree was now a
shirtless dancing
17 . He owned the dance floor
18 meaningful time with others. I couldn't believe it was him.
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of
19 every day. You may never know how much
each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as
20 as I can, and I advise others to look out for
their own "boy under the tree."
