  Who hasn't used BAND-AID??In a world full of cuts, scrapes(擦伤),blisters(水泡)and bruises(瘀伤)it seems hard to imagine life without those little adhesive bandages.They certainly come in handy on a cut finger.They're even handy on a cut foot, although it sounds a little funny.

  Of course, there have always been cuts and scrapes, but there hasn't always been adhesive bandages.This fact was painfully clear to a young housewife named Josephine Dickson.

  Back in 1920, this newlywed(新婚的人)was living in New Brunswick, New Jersey, with her husband Earle, and though married life agreed with her, housekeeping did not.Not that she didn't try.When Earle came home from his job as a cotton buyer at Johnson &.Johnson.Josephine would always have dinner on the table.Unfortunately, she'd also have several cuts or burns on her fingers.Without an adhesive bandage, Josephine had no easy way of bandaging her own cuts.Earle had to cut pieces of adhesive tape and cotton gauze(薄纱)and make a bandage for each wound.This happened day after day-and, day after day Josephine needed more bandages.They were in a real bind(绑).

  Finallv, after several weeks of kitchen accidents, Earle hit upon an idea.(Luckily for Johnson &.Johnson.his idea was not to go out and hire a cook.)No, Earle sat down and prepared some ready-made bandages by placing squares of cotton gauze at intervals along an adhesive strip and covering them with crinoline(裙衬).Now all Josephine had to do was cut off a length of the strip and wrap it over her cut.In a way, it was a mother who was responsible(对……负责)for the invention of the BAND-AID? Brand Adhesive Bandage.

  Earle soon told his boss at work about his new invention and soon the first adhesive bandages were being produced and sold under the world famous BAND-AID? trademark.Earle was finally rewarded with a position as Vice President in the company, where he stayed until his retirement.As for Josephine, history does not record whether she ever mastered the art of accident-free cooking.But we do know she had plenty of BAND-AID?Brand Adhesive Bandages available just in case.Earle Dickson may not have realized what a cutting cdge product he was inventing, but it certainly stuck around.

On the last day of class we 47 our books and headed out. The professor stepped directly in front of me, with obvious 48, putting out his hand. He said, “49 you for making my class so interesting,” shaking my hand and smiling. I was so 50. To me, it had been a pleasant way to 51 the time in his lesson. I had no idea that my 52 had any effect on him or the others at all.

That 53 has stayed with me for 30 years. I don’t 54 the fact I learned in his class, but I’ll never forget the professor who taught me a lesson about the 55 of acts of kindness, indeed or not.

There was once a man who had a donkey and a beautiful lapdog. The donkey was kept in a barn and had plenty of corn and hay to eat. Indeed, he was just as lucky as any donkey could be. The little dog stayed in the house and was well liked by the master. He was always playing and jumping about in an funny way and was allowed  to lie in his master’s lap(膝盖). Meanwhile, the donkey had plenty to do. He pulled wood all day long and had to take his turn at the mill during the night. He often complained about his problems, and it bored him to see the lapdog living such an easy life, while he had to work so hard. Finally he thought to himself that if he acted the same way as the lapdog to his master, he would be treated the same way. So, one day he ran out of his barn and went fast into the house, where he began to kick about in a very strange way. Then, swaying his tail and imitating the funny behavior of the pet lapdog, he knocked over the table where his master was eating. He also broke all the dishes into very small pieces and did not stop until he jumped onto his master, trying to lick and paw him with his rough feet.

   Seeing their master in great danger, the servants thought it was time to help him. They beat the foolish donkey with sticks until he could not get up again. As he was about to die, he cried, “Why couldn’t I have remained satisfied the way I was? Why did I try to imitate a creature who was nothing but a lazy puppy after all?”
