听力原文:W: Is it that you've never met the right woman? Is that it?
M: I don't know. Several times I have met a woman who seemed right, as you say. But for some reason it's never worked out.
W: Well, could you perhaps describe what happened with one of these women?
M: Uh...yes, there was Cynthia, for example.
W: And what kind of woman was she?
M: Intelligent. Beautiful. She came from the right social background, as well. I felt I really loved her. But then something happened.
W: What?
M: I found out that she was still seeing an old boyfriend of hers.
W: Why did you feel that...
M: She had told me that her relationship was all over, which was a lie.
W: It was because she had lied to you that you decided to break off the relationship?
M: Yes, when I found out that she had lied to me, I simply couldn't trust her any more. And that meant that we couldn't possibly get married.
W: At least, I think I do. But...you said there were several women who seemed "right."
M: Yes.
W: what happened the other times?
M: Well, once I met someone who I think I loved very deeply but...unfortunately she didn't share my religious views.
W. Your religious views?
M: Yes, I expect the woman I finally marry to agree with me on such...such basic things as that.
W: I see. What's her name?
M: Sarah.
W: Do you think you'll ever meet someone who meets all your requirements?
M: I don't know. How can I? But I do feel it's important net to...not to just drift into...a relationship, simply because I might be lonely.
W: Are you lonely?
M: Sometimes. But I know that I can live alone, if necessary. And I think I would far prefer to do that.., to live alone.., rather than to marry somebody who isn't really what I'm looking for.

I don't remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me.I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing.But now she was noticing suffering and poverty.She wasn't even four.
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people.The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person.I signed us up.Nora was excited about it.She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was.When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we'd been assigned.She invited us right over.
The building was depressing.When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress.She took the package and asked if we would like to come in.Nora ran inside.I reluctantly followed.Our hostess showed us some photos of her family.Nora played and laughed.I accepted a second cup of tea.When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged.I walked home in tears.
Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that's good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman's alone — it was in our lives, too.Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless.Yet, as I've watched her grow over these past four years, I still wonder — which of us has benefited more?
