One day a poor woman asked Doctor Goldsmith to go and see her husband, who was sick and could not eat. Goldsmith did so. He found that the family was 3 . The man had not had work for a long time. He was not sick, but in great trouble and there was not any food in the house. “Call at my room this evening,” said Goldsmith to the woman, “and I will give you 4 for your husband.”

　　In the evening the woman went to his home. He gave her a little paper box that was very heavy. “ 5 the medicine,” he said. “Use it faithfully, and I think it will do your husband a great deal of good. But don't open the box until you reach home.” “What are the directions for 6 it?” asked the woman. “You'll find them in the box,”he answered.

　　When the woman reached her home, she sat down by her husband's side, and they opened the box. What do you think they found in it? It was full of pieces of money. And 7 were the directions: “TO BE TAKEN AS OFTEN AS NECESSITY REQUIRES:” “Goldsmith had given them all the money that he had.”

He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. He tries to help them. He is always kind, either to people or animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn. He does not push to the front of the queue. On the bus, he gives his seat to an older person or a lady who is standing. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not talk too much himself. He does not talk loudly or laugh loudly in public. When eating, he doesn't speak with his mouth full of food.

However, different countries have different manners. Before going into a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off you shoes. In European countries this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house never finishes a drink. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he has enjoyed it.

People all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.

Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.

When he was 12, his parents       . He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed        him. No one showed kindness (友善) to him. His only friend was a dog named Tige.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped       , she dropped other bags. He came to help her.“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”She said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. These were        kind words he had ever heard. He watched her        she went far away, and he whistled（吹口哨）to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.

“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low        he said to his dog,“You are a nice little dog!”Tige raised        ears as if（似乎）it understood.

“Uh! Even a dog likes it!”he said,“Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.”Tige waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw        but a dirty boy. He washed his face       . Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed (震惊). From then on, he had a new life.

After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said,“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed (种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness.        a great power it has!” If you show kindness to others, you will be an able man.
