阅读快车系列答案Thanksgiving Day was near. Lucy, the first grade teacher, gave her class a fun 36 — to draw a picture of somebody or something for which they were 37 . When the students 38
their assignment, she found most of them drew some pictures of their family, teachers, friends or neighbors.
Douglas, however, made a different kind of picture. He was a 39 boy. He didn’t act the same as others. He always seemed to be shy and sad. He 40 played with other children during the break 41 they kindly invited him to. Lucy treated him very well. She always helped him and 42 him to be confident. Yes, his picture was different. He just drew a 43 . Nothing else. His abstract image 44 the imagination of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One guessed it was a mother’s hand, for mother’s hand gives children warmth and 45 . Another child guessed it was a police officer’s hand, because the police 46 people and care for people. And so the discussion 47 .
When the children were discussing it, Lucy paused at Douglas’ desk, 48 down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy murmured, “It’s 49 , teacher.” Douglas was most thankful for her hand. She was 50 and felt tears in her eyes. She thought of the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there. She 51 how often she had said to him, “Take my 52 , Douglas.

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list __16__ in our past that we felt __17__ of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very __18__ process, but there’ s always some __19__ soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then __20__ that we find ways to __21__ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever __22__ my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my _23__, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff __24__ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a __25__ on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a sob.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious __26__. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one __27__ found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name __28__ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still __29__. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few __30__, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it？”Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a __31__ discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you __32__ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it __33___ all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to __34__ all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to __35__ the past wrong doings.

I was shopping at my local supermarket, as I normally have for years. One particular day, I had done about 2 weeks worth of shopping and 31 toward the register to pay for what I bought. After the cashier had scanned my items and I had bagged them up, she stated that the 32 was $150.
I 33 into my back right pocket to take the money to pay and noticed that there was no money there. I started to get 34 . I knew my purse was in the car and I was sure I had put the 35 in my back right pocket. I looked at the cashier with wet eyes and a 36 look not knowing what to do. There were people behind me on the line. She told me to speak with the courtesy counter (爱心柜台). I 37 and said, “Really? It's 38 , no one would hand that in!” But she 39 me to. “You never know…” she said.
I decided that there was no 40 in checking so I walked up to a woman behind the counter and said “I have to ask, did anyone 41 cash by any chance?” She asked “How much?” My face then 42 . “$200 in the form of one hundred dollar bills.” I replied. She said, “ 43 , yes, someone did!” I was so 44 ! “Who? I want to thank her.” She pointed to a young girl about 10 years old and said, “She did.”
I walked over to the mom and hugged her. She said, “It wasn't me, it was my 45 ” . I said “I know, I wanted to thank you both, 46 she found it ... it's because of you that I got this back.” I was so happy. I was almost in tears.
The next day at work, a person in another department 47 me tickets to the circus. He handed me 5 tickets. Almost 48 that young girl’s face popped (突然出现) in my head. After work I went back to the supermarket and stopped at the courtesy counter and asked if she had any idea who that woman was. She smiled and said, “Yes, She is a friend of mine”. Then I asked her to do me a favor and pass along these 5 tickets to her.
She told me that the family of the little girl who found my money were not rich so they would really 49 this. She also said that they had 3 children, so five was the 50 number of tickets!

One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk．He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase．I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store．
On the outside was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties．His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, bright smile covered his face．I gave in immediately．The power of that broad smile dissolved all bitterness within me, and I felt the muscles in my own face happily responding．
"Beautiful day, isn't it?" I remarked, passing．Then I turned back．"I really owe you a debt of thanks," I said softly．
His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer．A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby．The woman stepped forward and volunteered, "Sir, but he doesn't speak English．Do you want me to tell him something?" In that moment I felt transformed．The young man's smile had made a big person of me．My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stand ten feet tall．
“Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said, ‘Thank you!’”
“Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly puzzled．
I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave．"Just tell him that," I insisted．"He'll understand．I am sure!"
Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning．From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art diligently anywhere and everywhere, with everybody．
