1 . Hey, that’s me!

Amy Jandrisevits knows the value of a good doll. “Dolls have a power we don’t completely understand,” she told The Today Show. It’s what she learned while working as a social worker in a hospital. She used dolls to help her young patients to adapt (适应) to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those dolls. But for the kids missing an arm or a leg, there were none they could relate to.

So, seven years ago, when a friend’s son lost one of his arms because of an accident, Jandrisevits knew what might help the little boy to go through this challenging period. “It’s hard to tell a kid, ‘You are perfect the way you are,’ and to build confidence that way, but never offer them anything that looks like them,” she says. Jandrisevits went about changing that. She made a doll by hand that looked like her friend’s child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo online of the happy child and his doll, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who was missing a leg.

Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits was making dolls for children with facial scars (疤) and birthmarks—in short, a doll that looked like themselves. She quitted her job and started an organization called A Doll Like Me which offers dolls to those children for free.

Working out of her home in Milwaukee, from photos sent by parents or caregivers, Jandrisevits spends about seven hours making each doll. A Go Fund Me page helps her with costs and allows her to donate her services.

In all, she’s made more than 400 dolls so far. The waiting list is long, but Jandrisevits is not planning to give up. As she explains, “Every kid, no matter which country, age, medical problem, or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”

9 . In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. So I wasn’t ________ when one evening my mother said she had taken on a new project.

“I am going to telephone seniors (老年人),” said my mother. “Every ________? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I ________.” I was fifteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to ________. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk all the time on the phone. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath.” I said.

My attitude (态度) didn’t stop my mother’s love for the project. That evening, I listened as she ________ the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “________ do you care whether (是否) she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother said, “I’m the ________ person she talked to today.”

It took me more than thirty years to ________ understand the meaning of my mother’s words. Now, as my mother is nearly eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly ________ she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the fridge. I ________ that my mother’s calls were lifelines, which made sure housebound seniors to keep in touch with the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.
