I prefer the stories about the swimmers at the Beijing Olympics，one of which is about Zakia Nassar. She's a 21-year-old Palestinian1 Bethlehem studying dentistry in Jenin. Having had neither a2 nor a chance to an Olympic-sized pool in the past year, she had no choice but to3 on her own at a 12m public pool.
There is a 50-meter4 in nearby Nazareth, but the Israeli government did not5 her to use it.
Nassar was6 to training only when she returned to her parents' home in Bethlehem,7 she did so only about every two months for two days or so.8 the pool is only 12 meters long.
“My parents and friends always9 me, reminding me that I had to keep training if I10wanted to go to the Olympics,” she said.
It was only when Nassar11 China a month ago that she finally got the opportunity to swim in a 50m pool and enjoyed the12 of having a coach.
When she at last took part in the Games, she swam the 50m in 31.97 seconds, a(n)13 of seven seconds on her personal14. Nassar said it was the most beautiful moment of her life.
She will not15 on the cover of Time magazine or16 millions of dollars in endorsements(捐款), but she can always say she won a race at the Olympics. For her, it wasn’t about17 the other swimmers or winning a prize, but about18 her own goal,19 difficult. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of her. Then I realize how20 the task before me really is.

Years ago, in a small fishing village in Holland, a young boy taught the world about the
rewards of unselfish service.
Because the entire village lived on fishing, a volunteer rescue team was needed in case of emergency. One night, the winds1, the clouds burst and a strong storm overturned a fishing boat at sea. The crew in trouble2the SOS. The captain of the rescue rowboat team3the alarm and the villagers4in the town square overlooking the sea. When the team started their rowboat fought their way through the wild waves, the villagers waited 5on the beach, holding lamps to6the way back.
An hour later, the rescue boat reappeared through the fog and the7villagers ran to greet them. Falling8on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more9and they had to leave one man behind. Even one more passenger would have surely10the rescue boat and all would have been lost.
11, the captain called for another volunteer team to12the survivor. Sixteen
-year-old Hans stepped forward. His mother grabbed his arm, crying, "please don't go. Your father13in a shipwreck (船只失事) 10 years ago and your elder brother, Paul, has been lost14for three weeks. Hans, you are all I have left."
Hans replied, "Mother, I have to go.15everyone said I can't go, let someone else do it? Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service16, we all need to take our turn and do our part. Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and17into the night. "
Another hour passed, which seemed to Hans' mother like a century. 18 the rescue boat dashed through the fog with Hans standing up in the bow.19his hands, the captain called, "did you find the lost man?"20able to control himself, Hans excitedly cried back, "Yes, we found him. Tell my mother it's my elder brother, Paul!"

When the United States entered the Second World War, it became 3 to set up blood banks. Dr Drew became 4 of the Red Cross’s first blood bank. When the Red Cross 5 blood banks to collect and store blood for men 6 in battle, black American gave blood along with the whites. At 7 their blood was not accepted. Later blood from the blacks was 8 but was stored in a 9 place from “white” blood. Although the best doctors 10 that there was 11 difference at all between the blood of blacks and whites, the Red Cross, with the support of the government, 12 to separate black blood from white blood.
After the war, Dr Drew was 13 from Washington with three other doctors to attend a medical meeting in a southern state. In northern Carolina their car went 14 a ditch(深沟)and Dr Drew was 15 hurt. He had lost 16 blood by the time a passing car took him to the 17 hospital. But they were stopped at the gate of the hospital. “18him to the hospital for blacks.” No matter 19 they said, they could not get into the hospital.

Apologetically the father said, “You can finish 27. ”
The boy said nothing8quietly walked away,9written over his face. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t10.

Love is a15street. Any loving act must be warmly16or it will be taken as rejection and can17a scar (疤痕). If we are18busy to give and receive love, we are too busy! Nothing is more important than responding with love to the cry for love from those who are near and19to us. Because there may be no20at all as in the case of the little boy.

We recently treated our new-adult son and his girlfriend to a seafood feast, near Cocoa Beach, Florida. Our server, a grandmotherly woman skilled in the art of1, flew around the2juggling dishes and drinks while treating customers as individuals. She remembered their3tastes likes and dislikes –all of which she’d learned after only the briefest 4.
At the end of the meal, she presented the bill, and then went to5 the growing crowd of other dinners. My husband6with a credit card, added her7, and we were off.
“Mr. Goldsmith!” our waitress ran out of the dining room waving a receipt at him, “Thank you.”
He looked at her as though he didn’t 8. We’ve all seen that universal9 of confusion—eyebrows drawn together and head cocked to one side
“What did you give her?” I asked in a stage whisper,10if he had done something11 or made a calculation error.
“Wow, Dad,” our son said,12like an awestruck 10 –year-old. “I’ve never seen a waitress13anyone out of the restaurant to say ‘thank you’ for the tip.
“She gave us great service. I just thought she deserved a little bump14 what I usually give.”
It wasn’t until later, when I accidentally heard our15retelling the story of the16waitress, that I realized she had given my family something17 a “thank you”. She showed our son the importance of18hard work and the rewarding sound of “thank you”. Her show of thanks helped a dad earn a bit more19from a loving son. And it reminded me just why I20this thoughtful, caring man.

My mother had been a true inspiration to me and changed the way I look at life. Since my birth she has made it evident that I would become 1, that I would be one of the great ones. She has taught me that I can do anything if I put my 2to it.
As a young boy, I struggled to achieve tasks that came 3to most. I had problems writing, reading and especially speaking. I did not talk the way 4kids did and did not respond to questions or stay alert to my surroundings. My reading was poor 5 with teachers helping me, and my speech was hard to 6. My writing was not at the 7 it should have been. Even simple things like knowing my left from my right or being able to snap my fingers were 8.
My mother 9 all my challenges and, as a professor with a Ph.D., decided to 10 the situation early in my development. She did not want me to 11. After a while, 12 did indeed conquer all the problems that had troubled me. She spent hours every day 13me everything I needed to know, determined to help me learn. 14 her I would not be anywhere close to the level I am now.
In addition, she gave 15for my life. She told me what to do and what not to do. Her expectations have always been high 16she knows that I can do it. For that, I thank her. She would not allow her son to be incapable. She never 17on me, and to this day she tells me education is a must. I will be a 18person if I continue to follow her lead. She encourages me to work for my 19and attend college.
She used her gifts as a 20 to help a child –her child—and now I have the opportunity to become something.

Have you ever had to decide whether to go shopping or stay home and watch TV on a weekend? Now you1do both at the same time. Home shopping television networks have become a2for many people to shop without3having to leave their homes.

Department stores and even mail-under companies are11to join in the success of home shopping. Large department stores are busy12their own TV channels to encourage TV shopping in the future.13can ask questions about products and place 14, all through their TV sets.
Will shopping by television15take the place of shopping in stores? Some industry managers think so.16many people find shopping at a17store a great enjoyment. And for many shoppers, it is still important to18or try on dresses they want to buy. That’s19specialists say that in the future, home shopping will20together with store shopping but will never entirely replace it.

Ever since I was little I loved doing things for other people. As I got older I began doing random (随意的 ) things for people. For example, during holidays, such as Christmas, I would make an extra1along with the ones for my relatives. Then I would go and find someone in the grocery store and just hand it to them and walk away. It was so much fun. I admit,2, the first time I did it I was so3. I didn’t know who to give the card to. So I said a little prayer and knew that the4person would just appear. About that time an elderly man ran5me with his shopping cart. It was an accident, and he 6a million times. We smiled and he walked away, and I knew that he was the one. Later I found him in a different isle(过道), handed him the card, and smiled. I said Happy Holidays, and then walked away. It was so great, and the7I had afterwards was unexplainable.
Then one day I came across yourwebsite (the coolestwebsite ever) and8some Smile Cards. When they came in, I started a new project. When I go into a store, I locate a person who I think needs a9. Then, I buy a flower, a carnation, to be exact, and10it in the most beautiful paper they have. I tie lots of ribbons on it to make it11, and then slip the smile card into an envelope and12it to the flower. After that, I pay for it and explain to the cashier13it is to go to (I live in a pretty small town so it’s easy to get the help of the cashiers). They then give it to that person when they come through.. Once in a while I’11 buy the flower and then just leave it for the cashier. That gets smiles.
My favorite time was when I picked out this elderly woman who was walking around the14somewhat confused. I had come across her numerous times and she only smiled slightly once. When she came to the check out (I was watching from outside) her face15and the smile was the biggest I had ever seen. Later that week the cashier whom I had had16me told me that the lady had been so surprised and while she was walking out with the grocery bag to her car, she was planning what she was going to do for someone else. It was awesome.
I absolutely love the random acts of kindness cards. I17at least two in my purse and others in my car, locker and everywhere I go. As I mentioned, my club, STARS, is doing a Random Acts of Kindness Project with the smile cards so they also are using them. I look forward to hearing about their success. It’s really great. I18used them in school. I bought my entire math class cans of pop after lunch one day. They came in from lunch and a can of pop and a smile card were setting19that day. It totally lightened the mood in the class that day20we were studying for a test. Thank you for all of the help that you provide. The smile cards are a great program that brings smiles into the lives of many!
