Oil can be used in many ways and it’s difficult to imagine what the modem world will be like without oil. But oil isn’t easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rocks. When they think the rocks in a certain place may have oil, a metal tower is built, a machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground. At the same time, a steel pipe（钢管）is pushed down to stop the .sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the sides with great force（力量）by the pressure（压力）of the gas in the top of the rock, and it rushes high into the air. If the oil catches a light, there will be a terrible fire,. So a kind of cover is fixed on the top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps（活塞）.

One Monday morning，I was waiting at the bus stop in Harvard Square．It was very cold，about -8℃．I had just missed the bus，so I had to stand there on such a cold day，waiting for the next bus to go to the hospital．for my husband would have an operation on his heart．My mind was full of anxiety and negative thoughts（消极的想法）．“Why didn’t I leave two minutes earlier?” “What would go wrong with my husband’s operation?” “Will I get to him before it starts?”

Among the others at the bus stop was a woman who was about 50 years old．She wore a dowdy（过时的）hat，an old pair of boots and a dark coat，but she had no gloves（手套）．Another woman who looked younger came to the older woman and said，“Your hands must be very old．You will get frostbite（生冻疮）in this weather if you don’t wear gloves．”With these words，she dropped her heavy bag to the ground and began searching inside it．After a while, she took out a pair of purple gloves from her bag，took the older woman's hands and gently placed a glove on each hand, covering one finger at a time．It was like watching a play．“Thank you．You’re so kind．”The old woman said again and again．

I was deeply moved（感动）by this act of kindness．A moment ago I was feeling sorry for myself．but now I was able to replace（代替）those feelings with hope，optimism（乐观）and confidence．I thought in this world there were still many people in trouble who were in great need of our help．

Several days later，I went to buy 5 pairs of bright purple gloves in a shop and put them in my bag，just in case（以防）I Fun into someone in need on a cold day．
