One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “ 11 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 12 .” As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 13 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 14 and landed in the grass.

My heart went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 15 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 16 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

Kyle was the 17 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the 18 to prepare a graduation speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 19 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me and smiled.

He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to 20 those who helped you make it through those 21 years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best 22 you can give him.”

I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 23 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 24 me from doing the unspeakable.”

Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the 25 of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse.

Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H. A. W. Tabor and his wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West.

Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. Then he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.

As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore（矿石）, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.

Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.

Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.
