I walked through the door of the office building I worked in. Then I realized that I needed some money so I went to the 1 at the corner of the street.

    As I finished and turned to 2, I saw a wallet on the counter(柜台). The wallet was brown and 3 three hundred dollars, a driver's license, and a 4 card. I didn't know the name on the license, but 5 he was, he was going to be in panic.

    I went home with the wallet. In my apartment, I  6 the online phone book and found no one to 7 the name on the card in the wallet. I really wanted to 8 the man. If it had been my wallet, I would have been sick to my stomach with 9. I 10 the bank card and became 11 in thought. 12 a fresh idea flashed through my mind. On the back was the number to his bank.

"Thank you for 13 Wachovia Bank. Can I help you?" "I found a wallet at one of your bank machines today and I am trying to find the 14." "That's very nice of you, sir. Can you 15 me the number on the card please?" I did what I was told and, "Can you tell me his phone number? I want to contact him to 16 his wallet." "I'm sorry, sir, but we cannot give out the 17 information of our customers." "I understand. Can I give you my telephone number? You could call him and tell him who I am." "I can 18 do that, sir."

I gave her my contact information and hung up. Two days later, a gentleman found me. He 19 thought he would see his wallet again. He was so 20 that he kept saying "thanks" many times.

    I smiled all day long. Doing good for others does good for you.

    I always preferred to take on（承担）more than I should when I was a young man. At times, it was to prove to myself that I could 1 it. At other times, it was to please someone and gain 2 for my efforts. This sometimes led to 3 or frustration（挫败）.

    When I was an IT manager after college graduation I was 4 to work with a wealth customer and be a go-between（中间人）for my company. I took on the assignment 5, thinking that this might be my time to shine. 6, the customer's demands proved to be more than I could do with. And the company chose to 7 the customer and try to meet his unreasonable requirements rather than stick to what we had 8 offered in the contract. As you can imagine, this led to a lot of unexpected 9 and arguing with some of the staff（职员）who 10 to do anything outside their scope（范围）of work. I remember walking into my office one morning, opening my laptop and 11 the blank screen for long, thinking to myself: What should I do? That was a(n) 12 time in my life and then I finally had to give up my first job and 13 that company sadly.

    Perhaps, I thought then, I could find the 14 that didn't involve dealing with difficult people and difficult situations. But later I realized: Is this15 in our modern world? No, it is impossible. Now, I know, I shouldn't run away from the 16 I faced in life. I had to learn how to deal with them. I 17 not persevering（坚持）in my job. We should train ourselves to look at things from a 18 point of view, because that is far better than being 19 in the bad circle depression. I've come to 20 that when faced with difficulties, I should not give up, but preserve.

    Tim, my seven-year-old son, is learning to play the drums. It is an 1 that has always caught his attention 2 he hears them played. Before I3 his first lessons, drums were all he wanted. At the age of 3 he 4 his mini drum set during a show. Using that same drum set he perfected the timing and rhythm of a popular church song 5enough for his mom to sing along to. My son had found his passion at a young age and Had a natural 6 to catch on quickly. Wanting to act quickly to 7 his talent, I immediately signed him up for drum lessons. No sooner had my first payment cleared than his passion 8. He did not want to take instructions. He wanted to play the drums 9. To him the drums were a way of 10. Ian wanted to "play the beat of his own drum."

    The challenge was that music has more than one 11. Rock doesn't sound like smooth jazz and smooth jazz doesn't sound like 12 You can't play every 13 that exists to the same beat .If14 were a series of songs, the melodies 15could be calming and peaceful, or violent and chaotic, Each event we face has its16own sound, so we have to learn 17 to play the tune of the moment. You should understand that even with all the natural talent in the world there is always 18for improvement. You can't do it all without 19'You won't know how to play every beat life throws at you without practice. You can't 20talent forever.

As a primary school student in New York City, Robert Lee would stare in 1 at his classmates throwing away half-eaten sandwiches after lunch, because his parents had 2 him and his elder brother not to 3 food. They said it was bad karma(作孽).

    While studying at New York University, Robert remembered this4 and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that5, five days a week, uneaten pasta, vegetables, and other leftovers from the school 6to nearby homeless shelters.

When Robert and fellow club member Louisa Chen entered a college contest, they 7 a slightly 8 idea for a food-rescue nonprofit group: Their program wouldn't have a 9minimum, would 10seven days a week, and its staff would 11volunteers.

Their idea12the competition. With the＄1,000 prize, they13Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July, 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert's team delivered a donation of enough spaghetti and meatballs to14 20 people in line at a New Yorker City homeless shelter that had 15food.

Robert, who had taken a job as an analyst at J.P.Morgan, devoted his spare time to creating a network of New Yorker City restaurants that were16to donate food, and he enlisted(征募) volunteers to make food deliveries to homeless shelters. After RLC received national press17, homeless shelters and soup kitchens in many places reached out to Robert for18. Two years after being founded, RLC had already distributed more than 250,000 pounds of food.

    Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to19RLC. "I compared work at J.P.Morgan with that at RLC, and the difference was great," he says.

    "One shelter told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week," Robert says. "Things like that make me feel20that I quit my job."

Atdhe Trepca had long been interested in film-making, 1 he did an internship (实习) at Warner Bros. Studio where he 2 experts in the field. There was a French documentary (记录片) which actually 3 his latest project. "I thought it'd be really 4 to start conversations with strangers like the documentary by asking them the 5 question: Are you happy?" Trepca says.

He started his journey to 6 his conversations with strangers in February 2019. "I brought with me lots of 7 about every person I 8 he says, "And now I realize that this question really serves as a 9 to the soul (灵魂). Because when you approach a stranger with that question, all their 10stories come to the forefront and they start 11 something that they've done. One of the purposes of making these videos is to give people a chance to 12 themselves."

Although these videos seem to show stories worthy of 13 that they receive on social media, Trepca believes that everyone's story is also worthy of the same respect. "My videos are 14 endless, because I truly believe that everyone has a story." Besides, he finds that the happiest people haven't had the most15lives. "Even if we are faced with difficult times, we can hold a positive attitude to our lives," Trepca says.

One month ago my kind grandmother, Nonie, was put into hospice（临终安养院）. This was as much a (n) 1 as anything, since it 2 her to go home with what she needed, rather than being 3 in the hospital. It wasn't clear whether or not she was all that close to 4 . My mother said it could be a 5 still or it could be any time. My parents 6 I should pick a proper time to visit her in New York.

Three weekends were possible for me to make a 7 in the coming months: October 20th, November 10th, or December 1st. The 8 in October was certainly the least convenient as I was pretty 9, and I'd have to get all the arrangements in order very 10. But I chose it because if I waited just out of11, and Nonie died before I saw her, I'd never 12 myself. It turns out I did the 13 thing. When her driver came to pick her up today around noon, Nonie passed out, and never14 .

My trip was a 15 one, but I got to spend a full day and a half 16 next to her and asking her questions. Some questions got more 17 answers. I wanted to know more about her and my grandpa's love story and how they can stay happily 18 for nearly 70 years, dedicated to each other until the very end.

My grandpa got dementia(痴呆),and he almost19 everything slowly. 20, for years he still remembered Nonie. He died two years ago, and Nonie told me she'd been asking the Lord to take her ever since.
