問題詳情：

    One morning when I was sitting outside enjoying my coffee, l noticed a pigeon on the road in front of my home.

     After a few minutes of watching the bird, I went back inside to refill my coffee cup. With coffee in hand, I sat down on my bench and noticed a feather lying on the ground between my feet. I leaned over to pick it up, thinking how nice that the pigeon had left me a gift. But as l looked up again, what I saw stunned me. Hundreds of feathers now covered the ground. The beautiful pigeon lay dead before my eyes—most likely hit by a car.

     In tears, I went back inside to get a tool to bury it. This pigeon’s life reflected（反*）my own. I had been hurt at work and would never be able to go back to my job again. I decided that this animal was going to be buried with dignity(尊嚴), and so I went to find something meaningful that I could bury along with the pigeon.

     After several minutes of searching, I found a ribbon（絲帶）on which was printed, “Who you are makes a difference.” I had been given to me by a group leader at the prison where I used to work, where I was involved in a special program that encouraged the prisoners to become more responsible for their actions and helped motivate them toward more productive lives.

     Upon returning to the woods with the ribbon in hand, I was shocked to find the pigeon gone. Obviously it was taken away by a cat. There I stood, tears falling from my eyes, no bird to bury, a green ribbon in my hand. But the words on the ribbon stood out to me as never before: “Who you are makes a difference.”
