In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor(辅导员) at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and

playing games, I found a boy sitting under the tree. He looked weak(虚弱的). I walked to him and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He replied quietly, “No, I really don’t want to do this.”I could understand(理解) that he was in a new world. In fact, the boy didn’t need a close talk but a friend.

At lunch the next day, I saw the boy sitting under the tree again. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused onc e again. Later I knew his name was Tommy. Then I tried my best to spend time with him.

The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their feelings. To my surprise, I found the boy from under the tree talking happily with two boys. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.

In October for my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy’s mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I felt really sad. The mother said, “Tommy mentioned(提到) you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence(自信). You made a

difference for Tommy during his last months.”

At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture(手势) may be important to someone else. I hope that everyone can care about their own “boy under the tree”．

(C)19.Before the writer came to the high school summer camp, he was a(n) ________.

A. instructor B. camper C. student D. reporter

(B)20.How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?
