Mr. and Mrs. Su don't often go out in the evening, but today they go out for a walk after supper. They go to the park and have a good time there. On their way home, Mr. Su says to Mr. Su, “Look! A woman is running in the street and a man is running after her.” Mr. Su says, “What's the matter? Let's go and help her.”

      Now the woman gets near them. Mr. Su asks, “Shall we help you?” “No, thank you,” the woman says, “My husband and I are running home, and the slower one does the housework.”

I was in a shopping mall, so I decided to go and get a cup of coffee. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman poorly dressed sitting near the shop. I knew from the first sight that he needed help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was enjoying it. It was clear that he had a problem with his right eye. I then joined the line and waited to be served.

    Then it happened. One of the most beautiful gestures(姿态) I had ever seen in my life. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. The next thing I knew was that the young man handed the waitress(女服务员) 20 dollars and requested a glass of juice as a favor(善行). The waitress looked at the young man a little perplexed, not fully understanding the request. That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside, as well as the change(零钱) from the 20 dollars. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe. Then there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I could take a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.

As I was considering this event later, I wondered why the young man didn't perform this act of kindness himself. Maybe he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire(激励) others to do something for this old man as well.

    Mrs. Brown is a woman about forty-five. Her husband has a factory in the town and gets much money. Her three children are all intelligent and they work in their factory. She has nothing to do at home and lives a happy life. Mrs.Brown likes meat and cakes very much. Her husband and children often buy some for her. And she doesn't like sports and often gets up at eleven o'clock in the morning. So she gets fatter and fatter and now it's difficult for her to walk. Sometimes she thinks something is wrong with her heart. She went to see a doctor one day. The doctor looked her over carefully and said, “You have got a heart disease, Mrs. Brown. It's bad for your heart to eat much sugar and meat. You'd better eat a piece of bread for each meal.”

    “That's easy, doctor,” said the woman. “But when do I have to eat the bread, before a meal or after a meal?”

    Roger, a young man from China, has taught Chinese in a primary school in England for 3 years. A lot of children like his class and he enjoys teaching them very much. All the pupils are quite interested in what Roger teaches them. They learn quickly and do everything carefully.

    One day he said to the children, “People in a lot of Asian countries wear white clothes at funerals (葬礼), but people in America and in Europe wear white in the weddings because white means purity and happiness. What colour does an English woman wear when she gets married?”

    Mary said, “White, sir, because she is happy.” “That is good, Mary,” Roger said. “You are quite right. She wears white because she is happy.”

    But then one boy in the class put up his hand. “Yes, Dick?” Roger said, “Do you have a question?” “Yes,” Dick said. “Why do men wear black in our country when they get married, sir?”

    Recently a young woman's post(博文) on Weibo caught many people's eye. In the post she said that she wanted books for her students in Xinjiang.

    After finishing her study in college，the young woman chose to become a teacher in Xinjiang. When people asked why she went to teach in the faraway area，she just said，"Because I love my country. "

    The young teacher found that some books in her school library were not good enough for the children. So she went to Weibo for help. Many Kind-hearted people saw her post and offered to send her books. Someone placed an order for 30 books on Taobao. When the seller 1earned about who the books were for. He sent 44 books to the school. Many organizations also sent books. So far, she has received (收到)over 2，000 books. Some are storybooks，some are books on natural science，and some are books about history and so on. Now, some people are still asking for the address (地址) of the school. They want to give more books to the school.

    The teacher said her students were very happy to receive so many new books. For those books，she plans to set up a rotation system(轮转系统)in her class so that no children will miss their favorite ones. Now, the teacher calls herself "the happiest woman in the world".
