Recently, my family and I attended a neighborhood oyster(牡蛎)roast. While standing at the large tables 1 and eating oysters, I noticed a school aged boy across the table from us. He was being 2 oysters and by a man having a great deal of 3 and displeasure trying to swallow them down.

    At first, I thought the man wanted the boy to 4 the oysters and it would stop.  But 5  we stood there, it continued. And with  6 oyster the suffering of this boy becoming more and more  7 as he fought back tears and struggled to swallow them. I  8  learned that the man felt the boy had been impolite and this was his 9 .

    I couldn't watch. I hesitated whether to get involved or 10 . Then I had an idea. I grabbed my daughter and our frisbee(飞盘) 11 walked our way next to the man and the boy, attracting their attention 12. Then we introduced ourselves as not to knowing many 13 there, we invited the boy to come and play frisbee with us.

    The man allowed it and 14 the boy's situation changed. He became friendly and 15. He ran up and down happily to 16 the flying dish. We pulled another child into our 17 and played frisbee for a good 30 minutes together. I was so relaxed to 18 the suffering I was witnessing in that moment. And it made me feel 19 that trying to help in that or any situation where you 20 suffering is the best thing to do.

    One day a father and his teenager son were out together at a shopping mall. The son wanted to buy a new pair of 1at the sports store.

    2they were making their way through the crowded food store, a young woman holding a number of bags 3and the contents of several of them spilled across the floor. The son stepped around the woman and continued with the flow only to 4 that his father wasn't next to him. Looking around he5his father bending down and helping the woman 6the spilled items.

    Feeling a bit bad he hadn't thought to stop and help, he simply stood and 7 from the distance. He was 8 when his father handed the woman her things and she simply took them away without9 him and said “I can do it myself!” when his father returned, the son expressed his10at how impolite the woman had been.

    In the sports store the son was so11 about the incident that he spent most of the time complaining. They soon left without the shoes.

    Later at 12,the son told his mother the story, 13 her to be just as angry as he was at the woman's 14. His mother looked at her husband 15enjoying his meal and said, “Son, your father left that woman behind hours ago. Why are you 16 with her?”

    When we hold onto （保持）17 feelings, we will get stuck in the past and 18 to move forward. One of the best things you can do to stay happy is to19 to let things go. It is okay to show anger and unhappiness. 20, don't let them affect you and how you see the world.

    Once upon a time, there was a poor man. His 1 was also very poor — a small and empty house, which was 2 with spider webs (蜘蛛网). People tried to 3 coming into his house as they didn't want to come to such a 4 place. And the poor man thought that poverty (贫困) was the 5 for his unlucky life.

    Then, the poor man 6 a wise man and told him about his poverty. The man felt sorry for the poor man and gave him a vase (花瓶). “This will save you from 7,” the wise man 8. The poor man took the 9 from the wise man and wanted to 10 it at first and then spend the money on drinking, as usual. Besides, why would he 11 such a beautiful thing? But then he started 12 the vase carefully and decided not to take it to the market. He brought the vase back to his 13, put it on the table and started watching it again.

    “It's not 14 for such a beautiful thing to be 15” the poor man thought. So he 16 some flowers and put them into the vase. It became even 17. “Not good that such a beautiful thing stands next to a spider web,” the poor man 18 again.

    So the poor man started 19 his house. He cleaned the dust, washed the floor and whitened the walls. And it became clear that his house wasn't poor, 20 rather warm and comfortable. And the poor man wasn't a poor man anymore, but a hard-working host, who had no time to think about poverty.

    William Weaver was one of 14 black students integrating(使融合进入) the all—white West High School. A teacher told him that he “didn't belong.” He had a test and the teacher 1 him and then just took the paper away and said, “ 2 is up.” The first report card he got was 3 F's. So he started to think maybe he didn't belong and that he was 4 .

    One evening he was at home and Edward Hill, his science teacher from the 5 school, came by to visit. Weaver told Mr Hill that the white school were trying to 6 him away. Mr Hill asked Weaver to come to his old school after 7 . So every day waiting for him would be Mr. Hill with other teachers and they 8 him. Once he got past those F's, he stopped 9 himself. But no matter what he did, he was never 10 at that school. Weaver never had a 11 with a counselor(辅导员)about going to college. But, to his 12 , he got a letter telling him he had been awarded a scholarship. Weaver 13 it and went on to 14 Howard University.

    Many years 15 , Weaver came across Mr Hill and told him, “Mr Hill, if I had not gotten that 16 , I don't know what would have happened. And I don't know 17 I got the scholarship because I never even applied for it.” Mr Hill said, “I know, because I filled in the 18 and sent it off for you.” So Mr Hill stepped 19 and changed his life, 20 at that time Weaver didn't realize how much he was being helped.

    It had been a long drive to the Veteran's hospital. My brother and I had gone to1my Dad who had been2days earlier, weak, sick and confused. The3had diagnosed him with pneumonia(肺炎) and found cancer cells in his brain. My Dad looked so4lying there in bed. It wasn't just the5that was getting to him. It was also being so6his family and friends.

    As I sat by his7, a little woman with a big smile8into his room. She was at least 80 years old but seemed to have the9of someone 60 years younger. She was a volunteer10handmade get-well cards from the local elementary school. Gently, she took my Dad's hand and thanked him for his service to our country. It was the first time since he had gotten11that I saw my Dad smile. I12her into the hallway as she left and13her for lifting my Dad's14. "I am just sharing a little15, sweetie," she said with a smile as she walked into the next16room to share a little more.

    That 80-year-old angel reminded me again of what is17in this life: sharing our love. When we share our love, we create18not only in the hearts of those19us, but in our own hearts as well. When we share our love, we find ourselves doing what we were always20to do. When we share our love, we make our souls lighter, our lives brighter and the world better.

    A 35-year-old Australian mother makes around $58,000 a year by hugging total strangers. Jessica O' Neill started her1 job six months ago. "As human beings, one thing we often2 in our daily lives is physical touch. Without it, we can fall into depression and other mental health problems. To satisfy this 3, I've become a professional worker in hugging treatment," said Jessica.

    Jessica claims that her hugs can4those who are suffering from loneliness, depression, or low self-confidence. Originally, Jessica was a masseuse (女按摩师), a quite5profession. She notices that when she6her customers during treatments, they dropped their guards and7her more. "I could see their8melt away. Then I could get to their heart and do what I can to9them," Jessica said. "Everyone has a totally different story. But the most common10are loneliness, depression and anxiety. They all just have that desire to11with someone. I believe my hug helps me and my12connect on a spiritual level."

    Jessica says the majority of her customers are 13, but she has a surprising number of female customers14Despite many people thinking she must be 15 for doing such work, Jessica is confident that she's made the right16"It's so much more rewarding than just working as a masseuse. I feel like it's what I was put on this Earth17," said Jessica. In today's digital age, many people are lonelier than ever before. For people whose lives18physical interaction, hugging therapy can have an apparent effect on their mental health."

    "Interestingly, although the hugging19has been around for a short while, we've actually covered several20 businesses in the last few years."
