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.

David Moore taught science at the City School. He needed some books, so he bought them. He left the books in his car in a quiet street. Then he went to buy some other things. At about six o'clock he came back to the car. One window was open and the books were not there! David had to drive to Fry Road.
That night he wrote a letter to a newspaper. The next day he went to the police station. On Friday people read this in the newspaper:
“Book: Do you have any old books? I buy old and modern books. Open all day on Saturday. David Moore, 26 Fry road.”
David stayed at home on Saturday. His first visitor came at eight o'clock. David took him to the kitchen. At half past nine another man arrived. He had a bag with him.
“Mr. Moore?"the man asked.
“That's right,' David said. "Can I help you?”
“I've got some good books. You buy books, don't you?”
“Yes, bring them in. I'll have a look at them.”
Soon the books were on the table. “Come in now,” David called, “and bring the list.”
A policeman came into the room from David's kitchen. They were just the same. “Come with me, sir,” the policeman said to the man.

    Mr. and Mrs. Harris had always spent their summer holidays in a small hotel at the seaside near their hometown. One year, however, Mr. Harris made a lot of money in his factory, so they decided to go to a foreign country and stay at a really good hotel.
They flew to Paris, and arrived at a 5-star hotel late in the evening. They thought they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small hotel where they used to stay in the past, no meals were served after seven in the evening. They were surprised to be told that the hotel served dinner until ten.
    "Then what are the times of meals?" asked Mrs. Harris.
    "Well, Madam, we serve breakfast from seven to eleven, lunch from twelve to three, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to ten."
    "But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the city!" said Mrs. Harris.
