When I was young，my father told me that little acts of kindness may give one great happiness. Since then I have always tried to help people in .

One hot summer afternoon, I was down the highway to New York when another car suddenly into my lane(车道). My car was in the far right lane，so it ran onto the roadside. As a(n) driver，I moved my car quickly and skillfully back onto the highway without causing any accident.

I was with that driver，but I thought that he just did not pay attention to the lane change, and he did not do that on purpose(故意).The car ran away after cutting me off. Very soon it disappeared from sight. After a while，I came around a curve(弯道) and found the car. The driver was walking along the roadside. He was an elderly man and looked . With no telephone nearby and the nearest services twenty miles away. I decided to and see what the problem was.

The man’s car had a flat tire(瘪胎). Although he had a spare tire，he had nothing to work with. I decided to him. I changed the tire for him and allowed him to sit in my air-conditioned

car while I did it. Fifteen minutes later，I the work. I was hot and tired，but I really felt after an act of kindness to the man who had earlier my car run off the road.

You can really enjoy great from kindness acts, so always lend your hands to others in trouble.

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

　　Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn't work, so a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.

　　"I'm sorry, sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back."

　　And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…"

　　Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, "If you say something was wrong with your bus, I'll punish you at once!"

　　"No, no, sir," said the young man. "My bus was all right, but their horses were in the way!"
