假设你叫李明，下面是你的一位外国笔友Kristie给你写的电子邮件，询问有关小悦悦事件的情况。
Dear Li Ming,
I learned from a news flash that a two-year-old baby girl was ignored by more than a dozen passers-by after being run over twice in a south China town．I'm very shocked．I used to think the Chinese were hardworking and kindhearted, and they really were when I was on a visit in China two years ago．So I doubt whether it was true news．Can you tell me what you learned about this incident?
Sincerely yours,
Kristie
请你给她回一封邮件，要点如下：
1．社会陷入自责和反思；
2．某些路人的冷漠或另有原因，可最终还是有一名拾荒婆婆挺身而出；
3．单个事件不能代表中国，助人为乐一直是中国传统美德。
注意：
1．不能照抄原信件语句；
2．可自由发挥添加细节；
3．词数120左右；
4．回信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。
参考词汇：伦理道德- ethical and moral （adj．）; 美德- virtue （n．）
Dear Kristie,
I was in very low spirits
