At the end of my senior year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop. I thought the job would be easy and stress-free. I 1 myself pouring the best coffees, making delicious doughnut (炸面包圈), and becoming friends with 2 customers.
But I wasn't 3 the people with enormous orders, the women who 4 that the coffee was much too creamy (全乳脂的), or the men who wanted their iced coffees 5 again and again until they reached perfection. I couldn't seem to 6 anyone.
One rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking 7 . He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the 8 up over his head, and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.
9 he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He was 10 , since he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee, I had given him his favorite type of doughnut.
“It’s 11 me,” I told him. “have a nice day.”
He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the 12 .
The next day, it was still raining. I 13 my afternoon hanging out the window, handing people their 14 . I was completely wet and freezing cold. 15 , no one was tipping that day. Every time I looked into our 16 tip jar, I grew more depressed.
In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window. He handed me a pink rose and a 17 .He said that not many people took time to 18 others and he was glad there were still people like me in the world.With a friendly wave, he drove away.I ran to the back of the shop and read the note.It read: Christine,
Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday.It's so nice to meet someone who’s genuinely (真诚地) nice.Please don ' t change your 19 ! Have a great day !——Hank
After that, whenever I felt depressed or sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness.Then I would smile, hold my head up high, 20 my throat and ask politely, "How can I help you?"

237 West Palmdale Boulevard Fresno, California 93706 AmToy Corporation Suite 15 TransAm Building San Francisco, California 94115 November 20, 2008 Dear Sirs, As a concerned parent, I am writing to protest your recent advertisement for Electro—Robo seen in local media is California. Specifically, I am referring to newspaper and magazine ads(attached to this letter)published the week of November 15. Children respond to your type of advertising in an immature way; that is, they are unable to understand how expensive some toys are for middle-class parents. Further, you product is violent in nature. Youth advertisement gives children the impression that it’s fine to have “two guns and laser eyes.” You also suggest that children need your toy to protect them “when you go outside.” This is not a healthy attitude for children to have. I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children. Sincerely yours, (Mrs.) Alma Hernandez President, Parents for Non-violent Toys Enc. |
