I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.

We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile—warm and reassuring—and I returned her gift by smiling back.

“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.

“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. “It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’.” Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”

“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week—even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and –of course—I miss him since he’s passed away.”

I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.

It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. “Have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.

I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her—that was the night that I won her heart.

Mr. Turner turned over in bed from time to time in last night, for he was

very excited that he could not fall asleep. Yesterday morning, he went to

a big gardening company, knowing as Green Fingers, for the interview.

Mr. Turner, that liked to help his grandfather grow flowers in the garden,

looking forward to the job offered by the company. When he got to the

company, he found there were many people waiting there and he had

no ideas whether he could get the job. While waited, he helped the

workers there to remove the fallen trees and clear the road. Unluckily, he

was the only one who finally got the job, so the manager decided to give

the job to whoever he believed was helpful.

Many years ago  my dad was diagnosed (诊断) with a terminal illness . He was unable to work at     36   job . He would be fine for quite a while , but would then fall suddenly   37     and have to be admitted to the hospital .

He wanted to do something to keep himself    38    , so he decided to volunteer at the local children    39    . My dad loved kids . He would talk to them and play with them .Sometimes , he would    40    one of his kids . In certain instances , he would give   41     to the sad parents of these children .

One of his kids was a girl who had been admitted with a    42    disease that paralyzed (使…瘫痪) her from the neck down . I don’t know the    43    of the disease , but I do know that it was very sad for a little girl . My dad decided to try to help her . He started    44    her in her room , bringing paints , brushes and paper . He stood the paper up    45    a backing , put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint . He didn’t use his hands at all . Only his    46    would move . He would visit her    47    he could and paint for her . All the while he would tell her , “see , you can do    48    you set your mind to .”

  49     , she began to paint using her mouth , and she and my dad became friends . Soon after , the little girl was discharged (允许出院). My dad also    50    the children hospital for a little while because he became ill. Sometime later after my dad had recovered and    51    to work , he was at the volunteer counter one day and    52    the front door open . In came the little girl who had been paralyzed , but this time she was    53    . She ran straight to my dad and hugged him really tight . She gave my dad a picture she had done using her   54     . At the bottom it read, “thank you for helping me walk .” Sometimes love is more    55    than doctors , and my dad-who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture-loved every single child in that hospital .
