The other day I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness. He had won some lollies(棒棒糖) in a prize machine in the local supermarket, so I asked him if he would like to1his prizes with another child. He hesitated(犹豫) for a while because he is a(n)2boy, but said yes after I3him a bit.
A father and his daughter were4. I approached the father and asked if my son could give his 5a lolly that he had won. The father looked at me in 6and was unsure what to say. I7explained that I was teaching my son about the power of kindness. Eventually he said it was okay.
8, his daughter, who was looking at us sideways(侧向一边地),9accept the lolly! At this moment, my son was rather embarrassed(尴尬) and then he10to me, “We go to the same11, Mum.”
Rather than say sorry to my son for embarrassing him and give up this12, I put a couple of lollies into their shopping bags and13them a great day!
When we left the supermarket, I14to my son, “People in the world today are not so open to15because their thoughts and opinions have been16by the past. However, we can reshape their opinions by17small acts of kindness. So don’t be embarrassed. Hey, they may have been standoffish(冷淡的), but I’m sure we left them18, moved and inspired in some way. Not only that,19the young girl will probably remember you as the boy with a20heart when she comes across you at school!”

A Beautiful Dress
My neighbor’s eight-year-old daughter used to live in the countryside, her native place. Recently her parents1her to town to live with them. Wild and uneducated, she would use2words when she was angry. Sometimes she went so far as to3on the ground, to the4of all people around. Her parents tried to5her by beating and kicking. However, she became more6. Finally they became thoroughly7with her.
One day their next-door8, a retired teacher, gave the girl a snow-white dress, which was very9. It immediately caught the girl’s10and made them shine brightly.
The girl put on the dress and became quite a11person. She no longer acted rudely or hit others. She12seldom rolled on the floor. She knew running wild was not13for her in a beautiful dress. Since then, the girl had been14, neat, and lovely.
The story set me 15a lot. Perhaps everyone has a beautiful dress 16somewhere in his or her heart. Only some people are not aware of it,17it or take no notice of it.18is a powerful force or weapon — that’s something19by many of us. It can arouse fine qualities that humans are20with but have so far hidden somewhere. It has a soul-shaking influence that is indeed unmatched.

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree1some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they2Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football3scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or4we are uncertain, but we all, my friends5I, consider this6 .
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness7nonsense. As an old saying8: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not9anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that10one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say11about Beckham’s good looks
If we close our eyes,12in deep thought, we can find that the things13us to be in true happy, sad or moved14a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial(表面) things ,15we will find that we have not really gained anything16 our first impression had blinded and misled us, and we’11 remain ignorant17 we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great18. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it19us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have20.

The little boy turned to the old woman next to him, ‘‘Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?’’ She nodded. The little boy was still1the doll (洋娃娃) in his hand.
I walked toward him,2who he wished to give this doll to. “Sister. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring a doll to her.” I told him that maybe Santa Claus would do so. But he replied to me3. “No, Santa Claus(圣诞老人) can’t bring it to her4she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she5there. My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too,6I thought she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.’’
The little boy looked7at me, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall. I8she didn’t have to leave me, but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.” Then he looked9at the doll with sad eyes.
I quickly10for my wallet. “Let’s check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!” “OK. I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to11without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and12some spare money. “Thank you God for giving me enough money!” He looked at me and13, “I wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my Mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God14too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.”
15I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, mentioning a drunk man in a truck hit a car16by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl17right away and the mother was 18in a critical state.
Two days19this encounter (偶然相遇) with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young20had passed away.

When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My1took me by train or by car to a hotel by the2. All day, I seem to remember, I3on the sands with strange4children. We made houses and gardens, and5the tide (潮汐) destroy (破坏, 毁坏) them. When the tide went out, we6over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the7seemed to shine always brightly8the water was always warm. Sometimes we left the beach and walked in the country,9ruined (毁灭的) houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were 10in one’s pockets or good places where one could 11ice-creams. Each day seemed a life-time.
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good12is much the same as it was. I13like the sun and warm sand and the sound of14beating the rocks. I no longer wish to15any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets.16, I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I17what my ideal (理想的) holiday will be like when I am18. All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about19who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make20sick on too many ices...

Last week I went to a supermarket. After I1the bill and was passing through the door, the alarm suddenly started to ring. Suddenly, a young guard ran toward me and ordered me to2him. I felt so upset and3. He took me to a small room, but I was4frightened that I stopped at the door. Finding me5to enter the room, he shouted that I had to go into the room.
He closed the door. I thought he was going to hurt me. Suddenly, a6voice said in my ear, “Take out the things you've stolen!” “I stole nothing.” I said. “Do as I tell you. If we find them, you’11 be in trouble.” “There is nothing.” I answered. “I didn't take anything.” I said, taking everything out of my pockets and bag.
7this point, a guard came in and asked a salesgirl to8me.9, they found nothing.
But they didn't believe that I hadn't stolen anything. So the young guard ordered me to pass through the door alarm again.
I was10when it rang again. I felt11and burst into tears. I didn't know how to prove12I was innocent.
They made me go into the small room again.
“Take out the stolen things quickly,13we will dial 110.” They said.
“OK, call the police. I’ m not afraid.” I said14.
Suddenly, they15their tone. After a while, a salesgirl asked me to raise my feet. I did16she had told me. There was a label (标签) on the bottom of my shoe. That was it! That was the17thing that had brought me such great trouble. But it18my innocence.
After that, they19to me in the small room. But they should have apologized20, shouldn't they? A lot of people were there when I was taken away. What did they think of me?

My wife called, "Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?" I rushed to the scene. My only daughter, Sindu,1frightened. In front of her was a bowl filled with rice. She2disliked rice.
“Sindu, why don’t you take a few3of this? Just for Dad’s sake. If you don’t, your mom will shout at me. ” Sindu softened a bit and4her tears with the back of her hands. "OK. Dad. I will eat. But, you should…" Sindu hesitated. " Dad, if I eat the rice, will you give me5I ask for?" " Oh, sure. " She6eating the whole quantity. After the ordeal was through, Sindu came to me, " Dad, I want to have my7shaved off this Sunday!"
" Darling, we will be sad8you with a clean - shaven head." "Dad, you saw how difficult it was for me to eat the rice. " Sindu was in tears. "9you promised to give me whatever I ask for. " It was10for me to call the shots . "Our promise must be11. "
With her head clean - shaven, Sindu had a round face. On Monday morning, I dropped her at her12Just then, a boy shouted, "Sindu, please wait for me!"13struck me was the hairless head of that boy.
"Sir, your daughter Sindu is great14!" a lady said to me. ."That boy who is walking along with your daughter is my son Harish. He is15from leukemia(白血病)?He lost all his hair due to the side16of the chemotherapy ( 化疗). He refused to17to school for fear of being laughed at.

He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were1her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised. In order not to appear2, she went along.
As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too3to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, "Could you please give me some4? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
They stared at him. He turned5, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank.6, she asked, "Why salt with coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea ... I could feel its taste salty, like salty coffee. Now7I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I8it and my parents, who are still there."
She was deeply touched. A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and9his family. He must be responsible.
She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.
They continued to10. She found that he met all her11. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. She would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee!
So they12and lived happily together. And every time she made13for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said:
My dearest, please14my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous I asked for salt instead of15.
It was hard for me to ask for a16, so I just went ahead. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would17everything.
Sweetheart, I don't exactly like salty coffee. But as it18so much to you, I've learnt to enjoy it. Having you19me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again,20it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.

Once upon a time there lived an old man in a nice cottage with a large garden. The old man was seen 1his flowers all the time. They were so well-tended that every passer-by could not but2for a glance.
One day a young man went by the garden. He gazed at the splendid garden, 3 in admiration at the beauty of these sceneries. Then, suddenly he 4the old gardener was blind.5, the young man asked, "Why are you busy tending these flowers every day which you can't 6in fact?" The old man smiled and answered that " I can tell you7reasons. First I was a 8when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can't see these flowers, yet I can9them. Third，I can smell sweetness of them. As to the last one, that's 10.
"Me? But you don't know me," responded the young man 11.
"Yeah, it's 12that I don't know you. But I know everyone knows flowers and would never13them down. I know the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good 14. In the meantime, it also 15 a chance to me to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us."
The old man's16astonished me. The blind man grows flowers and17them as a link of minds so as to make18enjoy the sunshine in spring. Isn't it one kind of happiness？
I believe every flower has19with which they can see the kindness of the man's heart. The blind man grows flowers in his heart. Though 20to see the beauty of blossoming, he surely can hear the voice of it, I suppose.
