One day my 5-year-old daughter, Mini, ran to the window crying: “A Cabuliwallah! A Cabuliwallah（从喀布尔来的水果商贩）!” In the street below was a Cbuliwallah,1 slowly along. Mini called him loudly but when he looked at her，she ran away,  2 . Shortly after this, the two became friends. They started to 3  together, laughing and talking. Mini’s new friend would give her sweets and nuts, 4 the little money he had on her.The Cabuliwallah, called Rahmum, would joke: “Well, little one, when are you going to the father-in-law’s house?” Mini did not understand this and was 5 .
One morning, I heard noise in the street, and saw Rahmum being led 6 by the police. There were bloodstains on his clothes. I gathered that a neighbor had 7 Rahmum money for a shawl (披肩)but had falsely 8 having bought it, and that in the course of the quarrel Rahmum had struck him. On a charge of murderous attack, Rahmum was 9 to jail.
Time passed, and he was not remembered. Mini grew up and we were making  10  for her wedding. I was sitting in my study when someone entered. It was Rahmum, 11 from prison.12  recognizable now, he asked to see Mini and said that all those years ago she had 13 him of his own daughter in Kabul. It was his belief that Mini was still the same. He had 14 her running to him calling “Cabuliwallah!”. He had imagined that they would laugh and talk together. In fact, he had brought her,15 in paper, a few nuts and grapes. The two were 16 but Mini had grown up. She now understood the meaning of the word “father-in-law,” and when he made this joke once more she was 17 in the face at the question. He could not revive(还原) their old friendship.
When Rahmum left, I gave him a bank note, saying:“Go back to your own daughter, and 18 the happiness of your meeting bring good fortune to my child! ”
Having made this present, I had to 19 the electric lights and the military band I had 20  for the wedding and the ladies in the house were disappointed. But to me the wedding feast was all the brighter for the thought that in a distant land a long-lost father met again with his child.

Last year, I lost my best friend in high school. It seemed that everyone else’s life could just continue on in its 1 way, but mine couldn't. I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to face 2 and their gossip at school. I was forced to 　3 my routine on Monday morning as usual. In the evening I returned home from school 4 completely defeated. All I wanted to do was 5 into bed and wallow（沉迷于）in my own self-pity. I pulled back the covers on my bed and 6 a pile of cards left by my dad. Each card included a（n） 7 that it was to be opened on a 8 night that week.

I made it through that week 　9 my father. Each card 10 to say just what I needed to hear. Tuesday’s card said, “The past is painful to think about and the 11 is impossible to imagine. Don't try. Just take it one minute at a time.” On Wednesday my mood 12 when I read, “What you are feeling now is 　13 and normal. It still feels very bad, but it is part of the healing 14 .” Friday’s card contained a poem he wrote. The last lines made me smile through my tears. “Whatever special 15 you face along life’s way, may you 16 that you will find the best in every day.” I was instructed to open the last card 17 the party I went to on Saturday night. In it he wisely reminded me to 18 . “The world isn't so bad after a good laugh. The more you laugh, the more you heal.” Each card was signed, “Love, Dad.”

My world once collapsed but I 19 the difficult breakup eventually. It owed to my dad , who made his 20 known when he couldn't be present.

The other day I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness.

         A father and his daughter were   49  . I approached the father and asked if my son could give his   50   a lolly that he had won.

　　When you discuss about eating out with your friend, first of all, you must make it clear who will pay for the meal. If somebody suggests 1 lunch with his friend, he might simply say something like this, “I'm 2 it'll have to be some place 3 , as I have little money.” The 4 person may say, “ 5 . I'll meet you at McDonald's.”This means he has agreed 6 the two will go Dutch, that is, each person pays 7 himself. He may say, “Oh, 8 . I want to take you 9 lunch at Johnson's.” This means the person is to pay the bill for both of them. 10 the other person is pleased with the invitation, there is 11 reason why he shouldn't 12 it by simply 13 “Thank you.”

　　American customs are much the same 14 those in 15 parts of the world. American women 16 expect men to pay for all the meals. But today, some of them 17 . However, if a woman is asked to attend a dinner or a dance outside, the invitation 18 means “Come 19 my guest.” So, 20 you see, it is a polite thing to make the situation clear at the very beginning.
