A few days ago，I went to school with lots of books，hoping to get a locker (锁柜)．Suddenly，it started raining heavily. I hurried to pay for my locker，but I was disappointed when they informed me they only accepted cash. I was $7.00 short，which meant I had to carry the books back home. It would be an exhausting (令人筋疲力尽的) twohour journey back home with all those books.
An elderly gentleman nearby noticed my problem. He asked how much cash I needed. When I told him I was $7 short，he quickly took out the money from his wallet. “You don’t have to pay me back，”he said. I was speechless；I didn’t know whether to take the money or come back with the books the next day. A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation. “He’s really nice，” said the student. “I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people in different ways.”
The next day，I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lending me the money. He said he forgot about it and didn’t expect I would give it back. “I’m very happy，”he said，“not because I’m getting my money back，but because this is the right way to go—whatever you get from this world，give it back as much as you possibly can. Spread kindness around the world with the smallest things you can do.”
Later，I found out he wasn’t involved with any charity organizations. He has been performing these types of acts for years. Earlier，someone had done something incredibly kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness ever since. He taught me a very important lesson in life—we come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Whatever we own，it will become somebody else’s and whatever we leave，it will become somebody else’s.
小题1:When the old gentleman offered the money，the writer was________.| A．touched | B．hesitant | C．amazed | D．embarrassed |
小题2:From Paragraph 3 we learn that________.| A．the gentleman worked in the school | | B．the gentleman was kind but forgetful | | C．the gentleman refused to take back the money | | D．the gentleman thought it right to give back to society |
小题3:Why had the gentleman been doing acts of kindness?| A．He wanted to join the charity organizations. | | B．He managed a lot of other people’s money. | | C．He had received help from others before. | | D．He thought money was of little importance. |

One day I met a man in the hospital, who needed blood to save his daughter. He was struggling to get blood for her and curiously my blood type. My blood type was the same needed for his daughter. Before that I donated my blood, so I was afraid of doing this and didn’t know what to do.
Then suddenly I saw a little girl in the hospital, who was from a critical disease and needed blood from her six-year-old brother. Yes, from her younger brother, why?
His brother had suffered with the same disease and by God"s kindness by developing the anti-bodies(抗体) needed to fight for the disease.
The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be to give his blood to his sister. I saw him for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I"ll do it if it will save my sister."
As the transfusion（输液）progressed, he smiled, seeing the returning to her sister"s cheeks. But suddenly, his face grew pale and his faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a voice, "Am I going to die?"
Being young, the boy had the doctor; he thought he was going to give her all his blood and his life.
I felt , when that young boy, the fact of blood donation, got ready to give his blood, thinking that he will lose his life but save his sister"s life. And I, being a mature person, knowing that this will not my life, I will not lose my life, save others’ lives and I was hesitant of doing this.
That moment my thoughts and I became enthusiastic about doing this important duty and felt that true by helping save that little girl"s life.
If any patient dies due to a blood shortage, I will not call this the of doctors, as science is still not able to make blood artificially. Only we can save others’ lives donating blood.

As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn"t want their younger brother listening in on their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten.
I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I rarely saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn"t know me he greeted me like a long lost friend, licking my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I petted and talked to this four-legged angel. He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.
I believe that God sent him in that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11th. 1958. Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. "I promised you a gift, and here it is. " What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. 1 told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. "Don’t expect any presents this year." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. "If your baby brother lives, that"ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I"d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. "What? He"s all right?" He hung up and shouted upstairs. " The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God."" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I downstairs. My sacks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!
