My problem started after I went to a boarding school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school.

I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends – but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.

Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union. I thought I could win for I was doing well in school. I’d already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad.

Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe. You’re a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”

One Sunday evening, it was quite dark when old Stanley went for his walk. He was walking along the sidewalk, Suddenly, he saw a white car coming around the corner at high speed. It was going too fast and crashed into a red car in the street where he was walking. He rushed up to the cars to see if anyone was hurt and needed help.

The two drivers were arguing.

“You came around the corner too fast,” one man said.

“No!” said the driver of the white car, “That’s not true! Your car was parked in a wrong place.”

Stanley listened to their argument and then said the white car driver was wrong to drive too fast. The driver of red car asked Stanley to prove he was right in court(法庭). Stanley gave the driver his name and telephone number.

Last weekend after a quick lunch at a snack bar, I still had some extra (外的)time before going through security (安全措施)to catch my flight to Not knowing what to do,I then decided it was the perfect time and place to look for an act of kindness to do.

There was a girl having flowers for sale. I told her that Fd like to buy flowers for someone else, and she could decide who to give them to. She looked a little confused,so I suggested perhaps she should give flowers to someone who looked a little sad. That was because he or she might need cheering up.

At first, the girl answered,“That’s crazy.99 But then I explained a little more about the idea of doing something kind for a stranger ? and she understood.

“I’ll never know how it turns out,” I said,“but you will have the chance to make someone’s good day. ” At that time,she seemed excited about it.

She went to take the flowers out of the water they were sitting in, and I explained,“It’s fine to leave them in the water until the person who you want to give them comes”

At that point, I thought she was between surprised and happy, because it might be her first time to meet a customer like me, I paid for the flowers, said goodbye, and joined the security line.
