A young British man called Luke Cameron has done a good deed(行为) every day for more than a year and he says it has completely changed his life.

Luke made a decision at the beginning of 2014. He started by doing one small good thing every single day from January 1^st, 2014. For example, he greeted the waiter at a café on New Year's Day and he bought food and drink for some homeless people the next day.

He set up a website where he could write down all his good deeds, like helping the neighbor take out the rubbish or spending a few hours in helping a disabled lady pick out a dress for a party.

"I've never thought of any return from helping others. Actually, it has given me happiness and I have become more thankful and grateful for the things I have now."Luke said. He has decided to continue doing good deeds in 2015.

Luke won the competition for the job of National Philanthropy(慈善) Manager because of his kind deeds. He will travel all over the UK and help 45 different charities in 2015.

"I used to work as a part-time worker in a shop. Now I become the National Philanthropy Manager." Luke said, "I think I've helped myself by helping others."

    Mr. Turner liked fishing. It was his favorite sport. He often fished for hours without catching anything. But this did not worry him. Some fishermen couldn't catch fish. Sometimes they caught old boots or rubbish. Mr. Turner was even worse than the fishermen. He never caught anything - not even old boots. After he spent whole morning on the river, he always went home with an empty bag. "You must give up fishing!" his friends said, "It's a waste of time."  "But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all. It can make me forget the noise of the city and live quietly for some time." he always said to himself.

    There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is water between his feet and his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again.

    The boy puts his head down and prays, "Dear God, this is an exception! I need help now! I'm over." He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.

    As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips(绊倒)in front of the teacher and throws the bowl of water on the boy's legs.

The boy seems to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!" All of a sudden, the ridicule(嘲笑)that should have been his goes to someone else—Susie. She tries to help. But they tell her to get out. The teacher gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants are dried out. All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk.

    Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, "You did that on purpose(故意), didn't you?" Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants once too."

On a winter afternoon, my friends and I were throwing stones onto the roof of an old lady's house. The old lady was my customer(顾客) on the newspaper route. We just wanted to see how the stones rolled off the roof's edge (边缘). I found an exactly smooth rock and threw it out, but it 1 into a small window of the old lady's house. At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We ran home fast. I was so 2 about getting caught that first night. However, a few days later I started to feel guilty (内疚的) for her bad luck. She 3 greeted me with a smile when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably. I made up my mind that I would save my newspaper delivery money, and in three weeks I had seven dollars. I put the money in an envelope with a 4 explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hope that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. I waited until it was 5 , and put the letter I didn't sign into her yard. The next day, I 6 the old lady her newspaper. She thanked me for my paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. While eating cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. After opening it. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note saying, "I'm proud of you."
