More good things come from small things
About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any 36 from the children, but the parents were always shouting at the kids.
We 37 often in the hallways when we were coming or going. I 38 spoke, but the only 39 I ever got was a hello from the four – year – old girl.
I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I 40 they were just coming from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door 41 for the others. I 42 in the car doing unnecessary things because I didn’t like to be snubbed（冷落）. The parents were 43 her to hurry and get in the car, I looked up and saw the little girl was 44 holding the door open, 45 for me.
I hurried as much as I could and 46 her. She was smiling from ear to ear. That afternoon I saw a white toy bear, I 47 the little
girl and said to myself, “I 48 she would like that” so I bou
ght it. I wrote a note 49 how much her act of kindness had touched a soft spot in an old man’s 50 .
The next day there 
was a 51 on the door and 52 was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me. Then I 53 her mother and the other children were there in the hall too. The mother and father both thanked me.

The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 p.m. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Douglas Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is America's youngest mayor.
As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered- to vote on Sept. 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign, which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots（选票）.
To help get his name known, Sessions earned＄700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale's lawns.
Sessions' month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his neighbors. "They'd look at me, and say‘How old are you again? How much experience do you have?'And I say‘I'm still in high school', "he said. Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time, ”he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room.
Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 a.m. to 2:30p.m., I'11 be a student. From 3 to 6, I'11 be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said.
“He did a very brave thing that couldn't have been easy for him to do, "said Jack Vettel, a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. "He does care about this town. He's been here all his life. ”
Sessions will receive＄3, 600 a year during his four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not provide the mayor with an office.
