About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise form the children, but I often heard the parents  36  shouting at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a (n)  37  one.

We often  38  in the hallway. I always greeted them,  39  the only answer I ever got was a “hello” from the eight-year-old girl. I usually  40  to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just  41  their apartment and the little girl was  42  the outside door open for the others. I  43  in the car doing  44  things because I wasn’t eager to be snubbed (冷落) again. Finally I got out of my car and walked towards the door. The parents were telling her to  45  to get into the car, but the little girl was still holding the door,  46  me! I hurried although I was still in pain from my injury.

I forgot to tell her how  47  I was for her kindness. I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had  48  an old man’s heart.

The next day there was a (n)  49  on my door and it was the little girl and her father. She was quite  50  of her behavior and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother was there, too. Her parents  51  me, too.

Now when we meet in the hall way we always greet each other, in a friendly 52 .

Last night there was a heavy snow. I looked out at my car and  53  how I was going to keep my doctor’s  54  because I could only walk for a short time. This morning when I opened the front door, all the snow was removed.

Isn’t it  55  that the small kind act of an 8-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? It is said that good tings come from small acts.
