A man, who sometimes takes my bus, is in rags. His life seems different from that of the others. He looks exhausted and carries nothing. He appears along a downtown street, seemingly out of nowhere. We sometimes want to know where he sleeps at night.

A few weeks ago he boarded the bus. A few stops later, a young woman boarded. She swiped (刷) her bus-card, only to find the machine would not accept it. The driver told her to pay the $2.25 fare. “I just bought this card,” she said. “I paid the money...”

The driver said she could take the card back to the sales office and explain the problem. In the meantime she would have to pay the fare for that day. The woman became confused and distressed. The rest of us just watched, wondering how the problem would be solved. Suddenly the man rose from his seat, dropped a few coins into the fare box.

“You’re lucky,” the bus driver said quietly. “He paid for you.” Silence fell over the bus. The rest of us had watched the woman’s discomfort, but he felt it. We lawyers, journalists and business people headed downtown to help fix the world. He fixed her world.

I haven’t seen him since that day. Some people believe angels occasionally drop down and move among us. All I know is that I have a new respect for the simple act of kindness. It speeds us along on our way.

I   on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm(宿舍). Often,    _______  finishing my homework before it was          to hand in, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I        finished it the next day between classes. But I knew it wasn't very good and the      I received showed my lack of       . I realized that I needed to find some sort of       .
So, the next day I created a        that would        my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea,    ____   I was only able to        it for a few days. A schedule like that had too much  ____   .
So I tried another plan. This one            lists and common sense. Each week I made a list of      I had to get done during that week and by which day I had to have it done. Then,         the list of things I had to get done, I made a list of things I could do if I had the time.
