    Michael Hassard, a former engineer for NASA, hikes and camps, takes long bicycle rides and plays football. He always looks active, 1he cries quite often. "I keep paper towels at hand all the time," says Mr. Hassard.

    Mr. Hassard cries so2just because he is a Highly Sensitive(敏感的）Person(HSP). This kind of person is very sensitive to feelings-their own and3of others. Mr. Hassard first realized he was highly sensitive in his early teens. He said when he sang in the church, there were songs that he had a hard time4. Why? They moved him so much. Sometimes his friends5his tears and asked him what was wrong. He always answered," Nothing, I'm fine." Finally, he learned to control his feelings6practicing the songs over and over again in his free time.

    Researches of HSPs show differences in their neural(神经的）activity. Compared with non-HSPs, HSPs pay7attention to the environment around them and care more about the 8 of their friends and parents.

    Scientists say that high sensitivity can be 9 in at least 100 spices(物种). We cannot have the idea that HSPs are different from us and stay far away from them. Instead, we should help them find 10 to deal with their feelings. In modern times, HSPs can be excellent teachers, artists, reporters, etc.

    Just then a friend who 5arrived called out "Happy birthday!"6this, the man turned and asked, "Hey man, it's your birthday today?" "Yes, it is", I said. He 7, smiling and said loudly, "Happy birthday, man!" But I could 8imagine what happened next. The man reached into his pocket, pulled out a dollar bill and said "Here man, take this."

    Though I was 9his action, I didn't want to accept money from a homeless man. I said, "Thanks. That's really 10of you, but that's OK." The man looked directly into my eyes and said, "Please take this." I still hesitated(犹豫)to accept this11, but I heard a voice within me shouting, "TAKE THE MONEY!" I hesitantly reached out and said, "Thank you". Excitedly, he caught my 12, gave me the dollar and said, "No, thank you brother!"

    That experience made me feel like I had got far more than13!This was one of my greatest life 14: No matter how poor we may be, we always have something valuable to15with others.
