The Unexpected Kindness Of A Stranger

Yesterday, as I approached the front door of our public library, a white-haired gentleman stepped back to hold the door for me. You see, I have to go everywhere these days with a walker, and folks are 1.__________ (constant) holding or opening doors for me, so this was not unusual.

However, I told the gentleman that the door had 2._______ automatic opener, and he did not need to stay to hold it open. He said “Here I thought I would have an opportunity to be 3._________ (help).”

At that, I backed up, let the door close, and allowed him to reopen the door, not 4._________ (use) the automatic control this time. His comment then was “Well, now I feel like that I 5._________ (accomplish) something helpful and worthwhile today.”

We never know 6._________ someone else is feeling. We seniors seem to feel we can take care of 7.________ at all times. That random act of kindness brightened not only my day, but 8.________ my joy and delight, also the day of that white-haired senior citizen. I felt a glow for the rest of the day, and, hopefully, so did he!

So, gentle readers, never hesitate 9.________ (offer) kindness. You may find to your 10.________ (amaze) that there is more kindness in your community than you ever believe possible.

Lots of people stress out about talking in front of the class or getting laughed at if they make a mistake in front of an audience. 1. The “stress hormones"that your body produces at times like these can actually help you focus.

But when worry and stress about performing get to be too much, these hormones give people that “red alert（紧急状态）”feeling-the one that causes you to feel cold or sweaty, or get butterflies in your stomach. 2.Be prepared. 3. Rehearse（排练）as much as you can and practice in front of others at every opportunity. Most of all, think positively. Tell yourself “I'll be OK" or “ I can do this" even if you are not 100% sure of it Look after yourself. Before big performances it's easy to let taking care of yourself slip as you spend too much time on rehearsals and practice. 4. Exercise can also help you feel good, and along with sleep and nutrition, is an excellent way of keeping those stress hormones from getting out of control.

Find out what the experts do. You can find books, DVDs, and online information about how to give your best when you perform, depending on what type of performance you're preparing for. 5. Or ask the cast of your school play or your drama or music teacher how they beat stage fright. And if your parents or grandparents ever performed, they may have their own secrets to share.

A. Confidence helps beat stress hormones.

B. The following tips can help you avoid that feeling.

C. You're less likely to freeze up if you're well prepared.

D. You can do this whether you're performing alone or as part of a group.

E. Check out stories about Olympic gymnasts or your favorite star to get their tips.

F. Feeling nervous before a performance is part of your body's way of helping you do your best.

G. You'll look and feel your best if you get enough sleep and eat healthy meals before your performance.

So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument ，a misunderstanding，the way we were raised，or some other painful events. Stubbornly，we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.

A friend of mine，recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out，she said，“ I can't do that. He’s the one who should apologize. ” After a little gentle encouragement，however，she did de­cide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement，her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case，when someone takes the chance and rea­ches out，everyone wins.

Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn“ small stuff”问题）”into really“ big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go，and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go，as well as the joy of letting others be right.

You'11 also notice that，as you reach out and let others be “right”，they will become less defen­sive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But，if for some reason they don't， that's okay too. You '11 have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world，and certainly you'11 be more peaceful yourself.

“Success begins with belief and ends with doubt.”—Larina Kase

I remember reading through a book and the author was writing about being a reverse paranoid. In that particular section he mentions how he has a belief that the world he’s living in is out to give him everything he absolutely wants and desires.

There are times when I think to myself，“Wow，the world is out to get me and make me miserable.” Then I thought，why can’t I believe that the world is out to make me a better conversationalist. Then I started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia.

When I started talking to people，I truly believed that I was the most interesting person in the room. I believed that everything I said added value to the conversation. I believed that people stayed behind and chatted with me because they found me charismatic.

As a matter of fact, for about five months I wrote down on my bathroom mirror the following affirmation：“People love me and respect me. It is a privilege to talk to me. People find me interesting and charming and always want to get to know me better！”

I would say the affirmation after I brushed my teeth. And I would continue to say it until I felt completely great about myself. There were days that I just wouldn’t feel like saying it，because it would feel like a lie to me. But that’s the trouble，like the quote says，success ends when there’s doubt. And that’s why I continued until I had no doubt in my mind.

Then strange things happened，I noticed that people did find me more interesting，and that I gained more confidence in talking with people. I was more assertive(坚定自信的) at work. I was able to control politics and gossip at work to minimal levels，and became a much better manager，and developed better customer relations to the point that sales were up by 20% compared to the year before，on my best month sales were up by 39%，and this was a year that a recession was happening.

1.The main purpose of the author is to________.

A．explain how to be a reverse paranoid

B．share his personal experience in success

C．tell us the importance of positive thinking

D．advise us how to improve our communication skills

2.Before the author started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia，he used to ________.

A．believe the world would give him anything he desired

B．have a negative attitude towards life

C．have a strong belief in the world

D．live a miserable life

3.Sometimes the author didn’t feel like saying his affirmation because________.

A．it didn’t work as he had expected

B．he had become enthusiastic about conversations

C．he had felt great about himself

D．it didn’t sound true to himself

4.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author________.

A．didn’t believe what had happened at work

B．didn’t get along with others at work

C．had his performance at work affected by the recession

D．made great progress due to his affirmation

Even after his death, Mitchell Whisenhunt has found a way to surprise and bring comfort to his wife and young daughter, with some letters he designated to be opened on certain dates.

Mitchell lost his battle with Marfan syndrome at 26. The rare genetic disorder affects the body’s connective tissue, which is used to hold together organs, cells and tissue.

Ashley Whisenhunt, 22, cared for her husband until his death but said she was astonished when she discovered the 30 letters he left for her, their 18-month-old daughter Brynleigh and the community.

The little girl will grow up with a letter every year from her second to 18th birthday from a man she didn’t get to spend much time with but who left no doubt that he loved her unconditionally. “Through his testimony, there is so much she is going to learn,” Ashley told ABC News.

One letter was also addressed to their Longview, Texas, community, thanking them for their support.

“It just blows my mind,” Ashley said of her husband’s secret gesture. “He thought about everybody else instead of himself.”

Ashley said she would respect her husband’s wishes and open each letter as he planned, however there was one special surprise left for her that she said hit her the hardest.

In a spiral notebook that Ashley used before she dropped out of college to care for her husband, he wrote a letter to her asking that she publish a book of poetry he had written.

Mitchell Whisenhunt even planned his own funeral, and the funeral director said he couldn’t tell Ashley because it was Mitchell’s plan and secret. Ashley said she couldn’t help but wonder what other surprises her husband had in store. “There are ones we still don’t know about it,” she said.

1.How many letters will Ashley Whisenhunt receive from her husband?

A. 30. B. 22. C. 12. D. 13.

2.The underlined word “ones” in the last paragraph refers to .

A. books B. poems C. notebooks D. surprises

A. Love from Heaven B. Fight against Diseases
