Orion Jean is a 10-year-old boy from Fort Worth, Texas. He is making a     1     (差别) in the world with his acts of kindness. And these acts have     2     (改变) the lives of people who got help. It all began after a student kindness competition last year where he     3     (给) encouraging words to share about taking the first step. “Kindness is a virtue (美德) we can all have, if we are willing to,” he said. “So why not start today? Because right now, it’s what we need more than ever.”

W    4     the $500 prize money he won, Orion did many meaningful things. First, he sent toys to a local children’s h    5     to make the sick children there happy. Next, he helped prepare 100,000 meals for families in Texas. And now he wants to send b    6     to kids who may not have them and plans to collect 500,000 books in a “race to kindness”. Kherri Jean, his mother, wrote on her Facebook page on July 31st that Orion has collected over 120,000 books. “We had a free book fair (书展) for children and     7     parents today. It was     8     (实在；的确) great seeing kids looking for books they like and taking them home!”

T    9     he hasn’t met the goal of 500,000 books, Orion has done far more to put books into the hands of poor children than most. “It’s all about my moral (道德) responsibility to help people,” Orion said. “You know, it’s my responsibility to be     10     (能够……的) to see these people who need help know that I can help them.”
