题目内容
________ you have made a promise, you must carry it out.
One hot summer I was traveling down the freeway on a day trip to Los Angeles. During my journey down the highway, another motorist suddenly started cutting into my lane. Being in the far right lane, my car was forced onto the shoulder of the road. Being an experienced driver, I steered my car back onto the highway, the motorist drove away without saying anything.
While I wasn’t very happy with the person for cutting in front of me, I decided to consider it an honest mistake—a lack of attention to the lane change or a driver lost in thought. It certainly could not have been done on purpose. The car sped away after cutting in front of me and was soon out of sight.
After a while, I caught up with the same motorist on the side of the road. He was an elderly gentleman who was walking along the side of the freeway on this hot day. With his car stopped on the side of the road and the nearest services at least twenty miles away, I decided to stop and see what the problem was.
The man’s car had a flat tire, and while he had a spare tire, he didn’t have a jack. I decided to help him and allowed him to sit in my air–conditioned car while I changed his tire. Fifteen minutes later, I was hot, sweaty and dirty, but I did feel good after doing something for someone.

Empathy, the Key to Being Kind
In science class, your teacher tells everyone to find a partner for a project. Out of the comer of your eye, you notice one girl sitting alone and not making eye contact with anyone. You think about asking her to be your partner, but you're afraid people will think you're uncool. You don't reach out. 1.
Empathy is being able to understand and actually feel what someone else is feeling. For some people, this comes naturally; for others, it takes a bit more work. 2. When you practice being empathetic, it gets easier to make kindness a part of your everyday life. If you can understand why people are feeling down, you'll want to help them. Here are some ideas that can help you.
3. Someone not being able to find a group in class might not seem like a big deal—but part of being kind is noticing when someone seems sad, hurt or uncomfortable. After all, you have to notice how people feel in order to feel empathy and want to help them!
When you're trying to make kindness second nature, really getting other people's feelings is important 4. Think about a time when you felt that way. Didn't you wish someone would reach out to you? If someone had offered you a few words of comfort, wouldn't it have made you feel so much happier?
So, when you find people around you who are feeling down next time, do not hesitate to put yourself in their shoes and reach out to them with a kind gesture. 5. There is always a time when you expect others to relate to you and feel what you feel.
A. And your kindness will be finally rewarded.
B. But empathy is super important to being kind.
C. Be open to learning more about what you don't understand.
D. One way to practice empathy is to pay attention to the people around you.
E. However, you never know showing empathy may make all the difference to her.
F. You don't have to have a similar background to someone else to feel empathy for them.
G. Whenever you find someone might be feeling lonely or sad, put yourself in his shoes.

I couldn't understand that the teacher was talking about, and I felt it so difficult remember so many long English words. But everything has changed since I come to study here. My English teacher is a humorous young man, he has a way to make his class lively and interesting, so gradually I became interesting in English. He is also pretty patient. Every time I have a question to ask, no matter how easy it may sounds to other students, he will explain it for me and try every means to make me understand it. Most important, with the help of my English teacher, I have mastered several way of remembering English words. Thanks to my English teacher, I have made a great progress in English learning.
