This little story I’m about to tell you happened when I was about 11 years old, and I’II never forget it. I was at my friend Jenny’s
__41__ after school one day, and we were doing (or not doing) homework..
__42__ I was there, Jenny’s mom came over to visit.
I don’t remember her name
__43__ what her face looked like. I just remember her hands, her voice and the
__44__ she taught me.
I can still see her hand
__45__ for mine in our introduction.
__46__ were so beautiful, I thought; rich, dark skin
__47__ complemented(涂了) by the orange colored polish on her nails. Then I __
48__ her saying, and not at all in a condescending(居高临下的) __
49__ .“Oh no, that is NOT how you shake hands. Let me show you _
50___.”
After that, I just remember her voice __
51__ the importance of a good handshake, conveying（传递） a positive sense of self, looking at _
52___ person in the eye, making that first moment matter…I think in that exchange I first understood__
53__.
I respected her for __
54__ the time to teach me about one of those subtleties(细微之处) in life. I appreciated the fact
__55__ she didn’t look down upon me because I was 11 or because I didn’t know something. And so because of that I felt somewhat respected. I mean the _
56___ she treated me. It felt good to be __
57__ like a real person. I also appreciate her idea that _
58__ someone doesn’t pay attention to something, be patient and point him or her
__59__ the right direction. I
__60__ her every time I meet someone and shake hands. And I’m so thankful for her little lesson.
