We adopted Luke four years ago. The people from the orphanage (孤儿院) dropped him off at our
hotel room without even saying   1   . He was nearly six years old, only 28 pounds and his face was
crisscrossed (交叉着) with scars.   2   , he was terrified. Luke kicked and   3   . His cries were animal-like. I wound my arms around him  4   he could not hit or kick. After an hour and a half he finally fell asleep,
exhausted. I called   5   . They delivered every noodle dish on the menu. After Luke woke up I handed him chopsticks and pointed at the food. He stopped crying and started to eat.
     That night we went for a walk.   6    at the moon, he pantomimed (打手势), "What is it? " I said, "The
moon, it's the moon." He   7    and tried to touch it. He cried again when I tried to give him a bath   8    I
started to play with the water. By the end of his bath the room was soaked and he was   9   . Then we read the book One Yellow Lion. He loved looking at the   10    pictures and    11   the pages. By the end of the
night he was saying "  12  ".
     The next day we   13   orphanage officials to do   14  . Luck looked at them and wrapped my arms 
  15   around his waist.
     It has been four years. Luke is a smart, funny, happy fourth-grader. He is   16   with charm and is a
natural athlete. His teachers say he is   17   behaved and works very hard. Our neighbor says she has never seen a happier kid.
     When I think back, I am   18   at what changed this abused, terrified little creature. It was not
medications(药物治疗). It did not cost money. It was love: just simple, plain, easy to   19  . It is comprised (组成) of compassion(同情), care, security, and faith. I believe in the power of love to   20  . I believe in the power of love to heal.
