I have been applying, interviewing, etc since July with no prospects(前景). I have been told mostly that I am overqualified, or they need fulltime etc. I had been getting pretty down and discouraged. I was actually asking myself why can’t someone be kind enough to take me on as an ?? .

This past Tuesday evening it was ?? outside and going to be 9 pm as I was waiting at a bus stop. Just as the bus ?? a young woman approached me. She had a T-shirt, Capri pants, and slippers on. She also was wearing several hospital bracelets.

I ?? my purse and took out $5.00 so she could get something to eat. I then took off my jacket and? ?? and gave them to her. I said, “These are a little big but they should keep ?? ? warm.” She looked at me and said “Aren’t you going to be cold?” I told her my being cold for 15 minutes? ?? I got to my place was worth it if I knew she would be a little warmer. She sobbed and thanked me with a hug. I just told her to ?? .

Then after I got on the bus that’s ?? ? the miracle of spreading ?? ? happened. I stepped up to pay the? ?? and the bus driver said, “Mam, I saw what you just did and your fare is ?? me, even though technically we aren’t supposed to let you get on the bus without shoes.” he said with a wink.

A lady who was dressed in a very? ?? ? business suit called me over to her seat. She said, “I want to know the ?? ? of the person who just did the most ?? ? thing I have ever seen.” I told her my name and she said , “What can I do for you to ?? what I just witnessed?” I ?? ? said a paying job would be nice.

The next day she called me and said that she had a ?? ? administrative assistant position ?? ? in her company and wanted me to meet with the manager. It ?? ? that the lady was the head Human Resources person.

I start Monday morning at 9am! Thank you all for inspiring me to keep passing the kindness on! I never expected to get so much back in return!

Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal's number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer.

This is not a fantasy. A British company, called electro­texiles, has created a wide range of clothes—clothes tha have minds of their own ! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be mixed with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The results are electronic garments.

If you think the weather has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wirefree, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high­tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine­volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100% shockproof, they say.

The electrotexiles team has also created the world's first cloth keyboard. These keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These “lap­tap” devices are all set to take over laptop computers!

Another useful garment is the shirt­cum­mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wears include the denim (牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hoop and the electronic ski jacket with a built­in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.

Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?
