About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to mine．I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always yelling at the kids
We often met in the hallway when we were coming or going．I always spoke, but the only answer I got was a hello from the four-year-old girl．
One afternoon when I returned, they were just coming out of their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the other．I remained in the car doing unnecessary things．But when I looked up I saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me．I hurried as much as I could and thanked her,
I was really touched by her act of kindness．That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and I bought a white Teddy bear for her．the next day, there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father．She was very proud of the bear and thanked me like I had never been thanked before
Now when we meet in the hall, we all speak in a friendly manner．As time passes, I don't hear that telling as often as before．
Last night we had about four inches of snow．I looked out at my car and wondered how I was going to keep my doctor's appointment, I went out to remove the snow, But when I opened my front door, I found my car was there with all the snow removed, You couldn't imagine how I felt at that moment．I thanked that family in my heart．
Isn't it amazing how a small kind act of a four-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? My guardian angel says that good things come from small acts．

When you donate blood, a small amount is usually taken in advance to test your blood type．If you are O＋, the O is your ABO type and the＋is your Rh type．It is possible to be A,B,AB, or O as well as Rh＋or Rh-．
The ABO system was discovered by Karl Landsteiner in the early 1900s．He was awarded the Nobel Prize for his achievements．There are four basic types of blood in the ABO system：A,B,AB and O．Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood．We get blood type, just like hair color and height from parents．Because of the substances(物质)contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully．If two different blood types are mixed together, it may put a person into an extremely dangerous situation．Basically, A and B cannot be mixed．A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B．In an emergency, type O blood can be given because it is most likely to be accepted by all blood types，so it is often called the universal donor．However，there is still a risk．For the opposite reason，AB is sometimes called the universal receiver．However，because there can be so many reactions in transfusions，patients usually receive only salt until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of the hospital．
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality．Among the Europeans, about 45 percent have type O while 42 percent have type A．The rarest is type AB．Other races have different percentage．For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type out of 100 donors in the world．
