At the end of my senior year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop．I thought the job would be easy and stress-free．I pictured myself pouring the best coffees, making delicious doughnuts (炸面包圈), and becoming friends with regular customers．

I wasn’t expecting the people with enormous orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy (含乳脂的), or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached perfection．I couldn’t seem to please anyone．

One rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking upset．He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years．I knew exactly how he felt．

Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee．He was surprised, since he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee．I had given him his favorite type of droughnut．

“It’s on me,” I told him．“Have a nice day．”

He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the rain．

The next day, it was still raining．I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders．I was completely wet and freezing cold．Worse, no one was tipping that day．Every time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more depressed．

In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window．He handed me a pink rose and a note．He said that not many people took time to care about others and he was glad there were still people like me in the world．With a friendly wave, he drove away．

I ran to the back of the shop and read the note．It read:

Christine,

Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday．It is so nice to meet someone who’s indeed nice．Please don’t change your ways! Have a great day! –Hank

After that, whenever I felt depressed or sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness．Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”

A．The customers didn’t tip her enough．

B．It was difficult to make iced coffee perfect．

D．A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy．

     My dad loved pennies, especially those with the elegant stalk(茎) of wheat curving around each side
of the ONE CENT on the back. Those were the pennies he grew up with during the Depression(大萧条).
     As a kid, I would go for walks with Dad, spying coins along the way-a penny here, a dime(一角硬币) there. Whenever I picked up a penny, he'd ask, "Is it a wheat?" It always thrilled him when we found one
of t hose special coins produced between 1909 and 1958, the year of my birth.
     One gray Sunday morning in winter, not long after my father's death in 2002, I was walking down Fifth Avenue, feeling bereft. I found myself in front of the church where Dad once worked. I was warmly shown in and led to a seat. Hearing Dad's favorite "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", I burst into tears. We'd sung
that at his funeral.
     After the service, I shook the pastor's(牧师) hand and stepped onto the sidewalk-and there was a
penny. I bent to pick it up, turned it over, and sure enough, it was a wheat. A 1944, a year my father was
serving on a ship in the South Pacific.
     That_started_it. Suddenly wheat pennies began turning up on the sidewalks of New York everywhere. I got most of the important years: his birth year, my mom's birth year, the year he graduated from college,
the year he met my mom, the year they got married, the year my sister was born. But alas, no 1958 wheat penny-my year, the last year they were made.
     The next Sunday, after the service, I was walking up Fifth Avenue and spotted a penny in the middle
of a crossing. Oh, no, it was a busy street；cabs were speeding by-should I risk it? I just had to get it.
     A wheat! But the penny was worn, and I couldn't read the date. On arriving home, I took out my
glasses and took it to the light. There was my birthday!
     I found 21 wheat pennies on the streets of Manhattan in the year after my father died, and I don't think that's a coincidence.
