so I jumped out of bed and rushed to a nearby bus stop without breakfast. Fortunately the bus started going
as soon as I got on it. I was sure I could reach the school before the bell rang.
However, the bus suddenly stopped. There was something wrong with it and we had to get off and wait
for another one. I felt I couldn"t wait and the school was only fifteen minutes" walk, so I ran to the school as
fast as possible. Just at this moment, it began to rain hard.
I reached the classroom with all my clothes wet through. Mr. Smith, our physics teacher, had begun his
class. I was always afraid of him. I hesitated (犹豫) for a moment, and then I opened the door.
"It"s you again, Jim," Mr. Smith said angrily. "I"ve told you not to be late, but you …". Then he suddenly
stopped when he noticed my wet clothes. He quickly took off his own jacket and asked me to put it on. "I
don"t want you to catch a cold," he said kindly. I went to my seat with Mr. Smith"s jacket on. It was a bit
large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, Mr. Smith"s physics class so interesting and
I changed my mind, there and then, about being afraid of him.

"Oh, there is plenty of time yet," answered Tom.

The instructor asked us to list (列清单) 1 in our past that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about and
read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very private (私下的) process, 3 there" s always some brave person in the crowd 4
will volunteer. The instructor then 5 that we find ways to 6 people, or take some action to right
any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering 7 this could ever make my communication better.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story:"Making my 8 , I remembered an
incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff 9 of us kids liked. One night, my
two classmates and I 10 to play a trick (恶作剧) on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank
in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 11 .
Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 12 found
out."
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown"s name 13 on my list. I didn"t even know if he was still 14 . Last
weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his
number. After a few 15 , I heard,"Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused. "Yes." "Well, this is Jimmy
Calkins."
"And I want you to know that I did it?" Paused. "I knew it!" he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a
16 discussion. His closing words were:"Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 17 your classmates got it off
their chest, but you were carrying it 18 all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake."
Jimmy encouraged me to 19 all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I
learned from the course: It"s never too late to 20 the past wrongdoings.

| It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I was going hunting along the motorway the other day when there was a sudden bang and I almost fell off my motorbike. It had a hole in the front tyre and it"s not easy to 1 a bike without any air in the tyre. I 2 stop without falling off luckily, but I still had the problem of what to do with the hole. A motorbike isn"t like a car; you can"t just change a wheel and go on your way. Now, you have to take the wheel off, find the hole, cover it with a piece of rubber, and then put the wheel back together again. Usually it costs you a lot of time and you get very dirty. As I didn"t have any 3 , I set to work. It didn"t 4 long to get the wheel off and it wasn"t hard to 5 the tyre from the wheel. The fun really began when I had to put the wheel back on the bike. You have no 6 how easy it is to 7 small pieces of motorbike in the dark. In the 8 the bike was all together again but then I realized I hadn"t got a pump, so how was I going to blow up the tyre? Fortunately, a 9 motorist saw me and pulled up. He lent me his pump and I was soon ready to start off again. Next time I am in the motorbike shop I really must remember to buy myself a small pump though I don"t know 10 I am going to carry it on the motorbike. | |||||||||||||||||||||
