Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by Professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and midterms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before the final, despite the chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Vir?ginia to party with some friends.
They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers(宿醉)and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found Professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus.
Professor Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happy and relieved> studied that night and went into the classroom the next day at the time that Professor Bonk had told them. He placed them ！n separate rooms and handed each of them a test book?let. He told them to begin.

I never thought I would have a life-changing experi?ence at Wal-Mart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced towards the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were usual, " How's it going?" But he did something different~he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any
thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, "I just found out I have six months to live," and someone would reply, "Have a great day！，， But that wasn't the end.
He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friend?ship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. "I surely want to thank you for shopping here today," he told them. "You have a great day. Bye.，，
The looks on the faces of the customers were price?less. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture―and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.
Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.
Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy's body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like
that.
