Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans.With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell.Upon its    36   everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David

       David was a small boy in ragged clothes.I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so   37   for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves.But something made David   38 .I can still remember he was always   39   a smile and willing to help.He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor.We never talked much.He   40   just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home

       Weeks passed and the   41   over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break.I smiled in   42   as the last of them hurried out of the door.Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk.

       "I have something for you." he said and   43   from behind his back a small box.  44   it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it." I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it.I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing.I looked at David's smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it's   45  ."

       "Oh no it isn't" said David."It's full of love.My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn't see or touch unless you know it's there."

       Tears filled my eyes   46  I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to.After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning   47  the little empty box set on my desk.

It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me.I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride,today,Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

         “No ! Leave me alone!”Those were the last words I said to him that morning.

         My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later.I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.

    When I reached the hospital,my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive(大量). “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911,thank God! If he had moved Daddy,there’s no telling what might have happened.A broken rib(肋骨)might have pierced(穿透)a lung….”

         My mother may have said more,but I didn’t hear.I didn’t hear anything except those terrible

words:Leave me alone.My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more.How much had I hurt him when I hurled(猛投) those words at him earlier in the day?

    It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation.I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

         “Daddy… I am so sorry….”

         “It’s okay,sweetheart.I'll be okay.”

         “No,”I said,“I mean about what I said to you that day.You know, that morning?”

         My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly.He looked at me and said.“Sweetheart,

I don’t remember anything about that day, not before,during or after the accident.I remember kissing you good night the night before,though.”He managed a weak smile.

    My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power.They can hurt or they

can heal.And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Na Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles form home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I'd just head east.

A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she said. There was another bus I could take form there. This clearly was going to be a long night.

She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its wind-shield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.

"I just can't leave you here, "she said. "This isn't the nicest place. I'll give you a ride home."

“You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed(迷惑的).

“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.

“It’s a long way,” I protested(抗议).

“Come on,”she said. “I have nothing else to do.”

As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along.”she said.

When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That would not make it a  favor,” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”
