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.
