This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience.It happened about three years ago and it has had a 26 effect on me.I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know 27 but whose actions gave a new 28 to the words — kind and generous.
I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early 29 , A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes, was 30 for change on a street corner.
A BMW car 31 on the other side of the street and an executive(主管)who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car.He was probably about 32 years old.He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie.He walked33across the street and over to the homeless man.Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of 34 and then he sat down and took off his leather gloves(手套), beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks.Then he 35 them to the homeless man.The homeless man took them and stared with a/an 36 mouth.
As he drove off, I couldn’t 37 thinking that it was probably the first time he had 38 the pedal( 踏板)of that top-brand BMW car with a 39 foot! I stood there and the looks of 40 appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.
Two men of about the same age 41 very different lives had met and the one who was42 in materials had offered 43 than his shoes.He had left this BMW car and 44 down from his high position.He lifted up the other man when he offered respect, 45 and real generosity.

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming. and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
