I have been applying, interviewing, etc since July with no prospects(前景). I have been told mostly that I am overqualified, or they need fulltime etc. I had been getting pretty down and discouraged. I was actually asking myself why can’t someone be kind enough to take me on as an       .
This past Tuesday evening it was       outside and going to be 9 pm as I was waiting at a bus stop. Just as the bus      a young woman approached me. She had a T-shirt, Capri pants, and slippers on. She also was wearing several hospital bracelets.
I       my purse and took out $5.00 so she could get something to eat. I then took off my jacket and       and gave them to her. I said, “These are a little big but they should keep       warm.” She looked at me and said “Aren’t you going to be cold?” I told her my being cold for 15 minutes      I got to my place was worth it if I knew she would be a little warmer. She sobbed and thanked me with a hug. I just told her to       .
Then after I got on the bus that’s       the miracle of spreading       happened. I stepped up to pay the       and the bus driver said, “Mam, I saw what you just did and your fare is       me, even though technically we aren’t supposed to let you get on the bus without shoes.” he said with a wink.
A lady who was dressed in a very      business suit called me over to her seat. She said, “I want to know the        of the person who just did the most       thing I have ever seen.” I told her my name and she said , “What can I do for you to       what I just witnessed?” I       said a paying job would be nice.
The next day she called me and said that she had a       administrative assistant position       in her company and wanted me to meet with the manager. It        that the lady was the head Human Resources person.
I start Monday morning at 9am! Thank you all for inspiring me to keep passing the kindness on! I never expected to get so much back in return!

举一反三
John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.
His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner’s name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.
During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was starting Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like.
When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting —7:00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York. “You’ll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my lapel.” So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he’d never seen.
I’ll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I stared at her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. “Going my way , sailor?” she murmured.
Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.
And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.
This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment.  "I"m Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"
  The woman"s face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don"t know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"
It"s not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell"s wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive. "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "And I will tell you who you are. "

Wishing to encourage her young son’s progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were     , the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the passage to greet her.
Seizing the     to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and    explored his way through a door marked “NO ADMITTANCE.” When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and      that the child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In     , the mother saw her little boy sitting at the key-board,       picking out Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
At that moment, the great piano master made his    , quickly moved to the piano, and     in the boy’s ear, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.”
Then     over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obbligato (伴奏). Together, the old master and the young novice (beginner) transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully     experience. The audience was strongly     .
That’s the way it is in life. What we can accomplish (实现) on our own is hardly     . We try our best, but the       aren’t exactly graceful flowing music. But when we trust in the hands of a Greater Power, our life’s work       can be beautiful.
Next time you set out to    great achievements, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.”

Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there"s no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备) and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn"t long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ""If those old people next–door hadn"t mattered so much to me, I wouldn"t have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.""
小题1:Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?
A.Because she didn"t want others to hear her play
B.Because she didn"t mean to disturb others.
C.Because she didn"t have her own room
D.Because she didn’t like her neighbors.
小题2:Brenda started to give concerts _______.
A.after she practiced in her space bubble
B.when she became part of the unique space journey
C.after she became a real musical astronaut
D.when people came to see her in the space bubble
小题3:Brenda became famous because _______.
A.she was good at music and science
B.she became a real musical astronaut
C.she invented a special way of practice
D.she played well and had a talent
小题4:It can be inferred from the text that: " _______".
A.He laughs best who laughs lastB.It"s never too old to learn
C.Two heads are better than oneD.One good turn deserves another
