When I worked in a large city, passing by someone experiencing homelessness wasn’t an uncommon sight. The difficult situation of those I saw touched me , and I often felt, “I would be one of them the kindness of God.”
I felt forced to do something, and as a single mom and newcomer to my field, I decided to __ a plan that fit my limited budget. I began by five to ten dollar bills each payday, and during the week, passing out to those I met on the street.
Though a dollar felt like a small , I realized how _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me. we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars , but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With my recent purchase wrapped around my shoulders, I that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for . I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone . Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for your .”
I can’t help but feel that my with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has mine.

Today we spent the morning going through our personal belongings .We were looking for items to __ for free at a local park. Not just any items but things people really . Our aim was not to find things we no longer but things we use every day that would be to others.
We packed these things boxes and added some small toys. We added a list of local addresses and phone numbers of local agencies. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed. It : “Please take these items and know that your life is important. are difficult but these days will pass. We share what we have believing that it will matter. Use the food to nurture your ; use the blankets to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human can overcome anything. Do not hold your head for having a need to stay warm. Someday please do the same when you can.”
This kind was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was because it was the right to do. We have often seen people at the park where we left the belongings. I that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was about it and she just replied that it had a hood (兜帽) . Her answer told me why it is I who love her. She liked the coat but knew the hood could someone from the rain.
Who knows where these gifts of sympathy will ? How many uses can a blanket serve what it was designed to do? We never go back and see what happens. It is unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that .

Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside. Everyone feels negative emotions such as anger and needs to deal with them. But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it.
Shouting bad words at someone will hurt the other person or make them angry too. If you feel angry, it is best to think before you speak. Some people in the UK use the expression “take a deep breath and count to 10”, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry.
Another expression people use to say they are controlling their anger is “biting their lip”. This means not letting the bad words come out of their mouth. If you cannot think of anything but bad words, it is probably best to “bite your lip.”
But sometimes letting all your anger out can be cathartic(宣泄情绪), as long as you do it at the right place and time. If you have just had a bad day, you could go into a room by yourself and scream or yell very loudly. Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. Then after you let your frustration out this way, you’ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.
If you do lose your temper with someone and swear at them, though, you need to apologize. One way to do this is to say “pardon my French”. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. Then you can calmly explain what made you upset.
小题1:According to the passage, what does the expression “pardon my French” mean?
A. “Please let me through”.
B “I can’t speak French well”.
C. “Sorry I said a bad word”.
D. “I’m very angry with you”.
小题2:What does letting out your frustration help you to do?| A．Make others more upset. | | B．Feel happier about yourself . | | C．Solve a problem calmly. | | D．It is no help at all. |
小题3:Who is this passage most likely written for?| A．All kinds of people | | B．Young children | | C．Very angry people | | D．People who like to swear |
小题4:How does this passage view expressing emotions?| A．They should be kept very private. | | B．They need to be expressed but in a way that hurts no one. | | C．They should be expressed any way you like. | | D．They should only be expressed if they are positive. |

I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a person.
I think my started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So tried a (n) . I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I to help. That was really a big for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my . Every time I came into her room, she was so because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never her, so I took her place. She let me that making others feel good make me feel good, too, when she died, I was , but I was very grateful to her.
I think I am a much person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not these experiences. They have me to care about other people more than about myself. I who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.
