    Take a trip across America,by way of an advice column (专栏),and you'll find plenty worth
celebrating.I once asked my readers in the Chicago SunTimes,where I took the place of Ann
Landers,to name the person to whom they would say"I owe you one."Victor La Porte,45,wrote
to me from his hospital bed about his kid brother,Tony.
     For three years,Victor had been terribly sick,His arms were black and blue.He often passed
out.His kidneys(肾) had failed,and dialysis(肾透析) wasn't working.Victor was dying.
     Doctors said a transplant(移植) would help,and Tony kept offering his kidney,but Victor
refused.He didn't want to put his brother through the pain or the risk of living with one kidney.
Tony insisted."Hey,I love you,"he kept saying.Transplant doctors explained the reason God
gave us two kidneys is that we can offer one.It took a long time to persuade Victor,but finally
he agreed.Several times the brothers went to the hospital,only to have the operation put off
because of Victor's infections(感染).But Tony never thought of backing out.After each
disappointment,he announced,"We're coming back!"He even got Victor a Tshirt that read I'M
NO QUITTER.
     Finally the operations were arranged.The one on Tony was harder.Doctors had to remove
part of his rib to get the kidney out.His recover took longer than Victor's, and he had more pain.
     Victor wrote:"Because of Tony's unselfishness,I have a chance to see my four children grow
up.I'll never know my brother's pain,fears and feelings.All I know is the love we share.How can
I tell him thanks?Maybe by letting everyone know I have the greatest brother in the world."

  In the winter of 1990, I was asked to appear on a television talk show in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.At the end of our first day of taping, I was on my way back to my 24-hour-room-service   1   when I saw something shocking.

  On the sidewalk in four inches of snow was a man   2   with only a cardboard to keep him from being completely   3   to the freezing cold.What really broke my heart was when I   4   that he wore no shoes and socks.

  I wanted to stop and help him,   5   I was not quite sure what to do.As the traffic light turned green, it seemed life was demanding that I   6  .So I did.Back in "anything I wanted was mine" environment of my hotel, I immediately   7   about the man on the street.Several days later, I was eating Danish at the station.All of the "important" people had   8   the room and it was just me and the doorman remaining.

  I had seen him   9   go about his business every day without saying a word except   10  .When I asked him how he was   11   today, he told me that he'd been having to ride his bike to work in the snow and that he'd been feeling rather   12   for himself...that is, until he saw a man sleeping down on the corner of the street with just a   13   for covering from the cold and no shoes.I almost   14   on my Danish as I heard him go on to relate how he was so moved with   15   for the man that he bought the man a pair of socks and shoes.

  As I heard his stay, I saw in my mind a   16   that used to be in an old friend's bedroom when I was a teenager.It was a picture of a child   17   someone a flower and the   18   below read:'The   19   deed often exceeds(胜过)the grandest of intentions." As Mother Teresa   20   it, "none of us can do anything great on our own, but we can all do a small thing with great love."
