1．I was traveling in a small place in New York．That place had no taxi for a short （41）distance （distant）．One had to take a rickshaw（人力车）．
I called out for an old man in the（42）waiting （wait） line．Before I got on the rickshaw，I （43）automatically （automatic） asked how much he would charge to take me across to the Mall．I （44）was told （tell）"10dollars"．Then I started bargaining．He just gave a hard smile and said，"（45）Whateveryou feel like，please give me．It is not necessary to bargain on this small amount．"
I was a bit ashamed at myself and kept quiet while he continued，"（46）Unlike （like） those taxis，my vehicle does not run on petrol or diesel（柴油） or even gas； it runs on my sweat．So please give it to me with a smile，for the money has to feed so many （47）hungry （hunger） mouths at home．"
When we reached the Mall，I gave him the money and the smile（48）as requested and added （49）a gentle pat on his back．He smiled back as if （50）to give （give） me a receipt and I would preserve his smile for a long time．

20．"Fire!Fire!"What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night!It was a large，old，wooden house and my room was on the top floor．I jumped out of bed，opened the door and stepped outside the house．There was full of thick smoke．
I began to run，but as I was still only half-awake，instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction．The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around．The floor became hot under my bare feet．I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window．But before I could reach it，one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down．The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes，and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat．Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me．
I saw a doorway in fire，then I put the bundle over my face and ran．My feet burned me terrible，but I got through．As I reached the cold air outside，my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry，I nearly dropped it in my surprise．Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street．A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man's coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly．
She was the Mayor's wife，and I had saved her baby．

19．Humans are among the very few animals that form a threat to elephants．Yet not all people are a danger-and elephants seem to know it．The giants have shown a remarkable ability to use sight and smell to distinguish between African racial groups that have a history of attacking them and groups that do not．Now a study shows that they can even tell these differences from words spoken in the local tongues．
Biologists Karen McComb and Graeme Shannon at the University of Sussex in Brighton，UK，guessed that African elephants might be able to listen to human speech and make use of what they heard．To find out whether this was true，they recorded the voices of men from two Kenyan racial groups calmly saying，"Look，look over there，a group of elephants is coming，"in their native languages．One of these groups was the Maasai，some of whom regularly kill elephants during fierce competition for water or cattle-grazing（放牧） space．The other was the Kamba，a crop-farming group that rarely has treated elephants violently．
The researchers played the recordings to 47elephant family groups at Amboseli National Park in Kenya and monitored the animals'behavior．The differences were remarkable．When the elephants heard the Maasai，they were much more likely to cautiously smell the air or crowd together than when they heard the Kamba．Indeed，the animals bunched together nearly twice as tightly when they heard the Maasai．
"We knew elephants could distinguish the Maasai and Kamba by their clothes and smells，but that they can also do so by their voices alone is really interesting，"says Fritz Vollrath，a zoologist at the University of Oxford，UK．
Attracted by their findings，McComb，Shannon and their colleagues wondered whether the Maasai language on its own was a danger signal，or whether the animals were responding to the combination of the language and the voice of an adult male who was likely to hold a spear．To find out，they recorded Maasai women and boys saying the same phrase，and monitored elephant-family responses to them．They found that the differences were similar to what they saw with the Kamba．

15．I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need．The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks．Of course，I responded with an immediate"Yes！"．As I planned the meal in my head，I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food．I have done so countless times with a very open heart．
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life．When my mother passed away，our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks．A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food．The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain．
Later in my life，when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins，women of the church again stepped in to help．They arranged babysitting for my two year old daughter，and brought lovely dinners to our house．Even when I was put in the hospital，my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room．How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter．
Food is all about comfort．It feeds our bodies，but it can also feed our souls．When you hear people talking about their favorite holidays，it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food．I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others．It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need．
