My wife and I bought a secondhand car for our tour. During our two months on the road, Lucy and I had a really 36 experience with a good, honest garage and some helpful 37 .
We were driving west on Highway 101 when our "check engine" light came on. We limped of (拐入) a (n ) 38 into Las Cruces. We had a real car 39 . Lucy pulled the car into a local garage. By this time the car was 40 so badly that it was shaking all over. This was the 41 _ time to arrive at a garage--late Friday afternoon. Service adviser Olivia was busy 42 paper work and customers as we explained our problems. 43 there were already “ten cars behind”, he told us to 44 the car into the garage.
Evelyn, who we later 45 was one of the top motor technicians, took 46 of our car repairing. He and Olivia and some other repairmen stayed several hours after closing, 47_ the car.
Early the next morning (the shop was 48 closed on Saturdays) , Evelyn finally located the problem and fixed it easily within only 49 .
Later Olivia pointed out to us that it was our 50 that helped. " You didn't come into the place demanding this or that. You showed an 51 of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon. Customer's attitude 52 a lot. He was right in some way, customers should show politeness and understanding to people who 53 them. Even if people were extremely busy, they found way to 54 try and help when they are met with politeness.
The pleasant experience I had shows that 55 for other people can always help.

One night my wife and I were going to dinner at a friend ' s．As we went towards the house, I noticed a car pulling out from the sidewalk．Just ahead, another car was waiting to back into the parking space．But before he could do so a yellow car came up from behind and sneaked into the space．
While my wife went ahead into our friend' s house, I stepped into the street．
“Hey,” I said, “this parking space belongs to that guy．” I gestured towards the man ahead, who was looking back angrily．At that moment I was feeling pretty manly．
“ Mind your own business!” the driver told me．
“No,” I said．“You don' t understand．That fellow was waiting to back into this space．”
Things quickly heated up, until finally he jumped out of the car．My God, he was extremely large．He grabbed me and shook his rock of a fist at me．I tasted blood．I was terrified．

friends asked me what had happened．All I could say was that I had had an argument about a parking space．They were sensitive and let it go at that．
Perhaps half an hour later, the doorbell rang．For some reason I was sure that the huge man had returned for me．My blood ran cold．My hostess got up to answe
r it, but I stopped her．I knew I had to face up to my fear．
I opened the door．There he stood．“I came back to apologize,” he said in a low voice．“I am ashamed of myself．The Brooklyn Navy Yard where I've worked for ten years is closing．Today I got laid off．I' m not myself．I hope you’ ll accept my apology．”
I remembered that after I closed the door, I stood there for a few minutes alone with tears in my eyes．

The CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs’ story about death
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
Remembering that I’ ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ ve ever encountered（遇到）to help me make the big choice in life.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors’code for preparing yourself to die.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another biopsy（活组织检查）and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’ m fine now.
This was the closest I’ ve been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
Your time is so limited that you shouldn’ t waste it repeating someone else’ s life. Don’ t be trapped by dogma（教条）—which is living with the results of other people’ s thinking. Don’ t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
