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 was sitting at the kitchen table finishing my morning meal. A little taste of autumn1had risen in my soul. The2 air and falling leaves all 3 the coming of the winter. I took my last drink of meal and carried my4 bowl over to the sink to clean it. My two cats sat on top of the kitchen counter,5 above them. I saw that they were both eyeing a tiny spider on a single web from the light above. Just as the spider came near,6cats were well prepared to catch and eat him. I quickly took a paper towel and 7 the little guy before he became a kitty 8I walked out of the back door to let him 9. As soon as I set him down he quickly crawled to 10on the wall. As I shut the door, I noticed something too. I was 11and my sadness was gone.

    Now I know a lot of people would be 12 about how saving the eight-legged animal could have 13my spirits, so quickly. After all, it was just a spider. As I thought about it, two sentences I had recently read 14me. The first was: “The only true thing is 15” The second was: “ Do everything out of love.” I realized then that no act of love is 16 I had only spared a spider to live another day, but it had 17my heart and improved my spirit.

    Make your life full of love. When you do so, you will18not only yourself, but others and this world. Your soul will 19 the cheers of other people.20 people's eyes every smile you share is a treasure, and every kind act you do is a triumph(胜利).

All Quiet in a Darkened Library

    After my mother died, my father, who was 75 at the time, began to regularly visit the local library in Epping. He loved going there1 he enjoyed reading different kinds of books, especially reading the newspapers on Saturdays. The library had a small area, where the soft carpet, folding chairs and lap desks 2a comfortable space for independent reading. My dad would sit there for hours. This particular wintery Saturday, at about 12 noon, after being there for two hours, my dad 3 that it was very quiet and darker than usual. He looked around, realizing that all the staff had left and he had been 4locked in.

    My dad was a “panic merchant” at the best of times, so I can only 5 what he was like when this happened. The doors had been locked from the outside and he had no way 6 He must have felt completely at a 7 since he didn't know some 8 for handling this kind of crazy situation. My dad looked at the noticeboards to try to find a 9 phone number—a staff member or someone he could ring to help let him out—but without 10 So he rang the police station and they kindly got in touch with the head librarian.

    The head librarian immediately rang my dad back at the library, and 11that she would be soon there. She tried to 12 him and even explained how he could make a coffee if he wished. This was very nice, but my dad was in too much of a “13” to do so.

    Thankfully, the head librarian arrived 14 the hour and let my dad out. She apologized for the15it had caused my father and sent my father back home in person. We were very grateful, since she could easily have been16at having to come back to work. The next day my dad seemed to17 from this accident. He almost forgot all about the unpleasantness, and even found his experience quite 18.

    I guess the entire staff now makes extra sure that the library is 19 before they leave. What's more, my dad has learned an important lesson by himself—never again became quite so20in his reading.

    If life were a book and you were the author, how would you like the story to go? That is the question that1my life forever.

    One day I went home from the training of snowboarding with what I thought was the flu, and less than 24 hours later, I was in a2on life support with less than twenty percent3of living. It wasn't until days later that the doctors diagnosed me with a4blood infection. Over the5of 2.5 months, I lost the hearing in my left ear and both my legs below the knees. When my parents6me out of the hospital, I7that I had been put together like a patchwork （拼接物）doll and I had to live with8legs. I was absolutely physically and emotionally broken,9streaming down.

    But I knew in order to move forward, I had to let go of the Old Amy and10the New Amy. It was at this moment that I asked myself that significant11. And that is when it12me that I didn't have to be five-foot-five anymore,13I could be as tall as I wanted. And14of all, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes. So there were15here.

    Four months later, I was back upon a16. And this February, I won two Board World Cup gold medals,17me the highest ranked snowboarder in the world.

    So, instead of looking at our18and limitations as something19or bad, we can begin looking at them as a wonderful20that can be used to help us to further than we ever know we could go.

    I made a request of my Guide to direct me someone who was badly in need. Then I was1in a huge traffic jam at a stoplight. "Rush hour." I thought. But it was an overheated car,2on the middle lane(车道).With cars driving all around it, I couldn't stop anywhere without making things3I had to turn left in the thick traffic and couldn't pull over for a couple of blocks. I thought," maybe this is one I should let someone else4But I blamed myself for that.

    I turned around and parked my car on a far entrance road. Then I thought about how to help the girl in the broken car. Letting her car off the highway seemed 5, but luckily, cars in multiple lane going both6opened wide for me to approach her car. So I asked her to release(松开)her brake and steer(掌控方向盘) across two more lanes of rushing cars while I7her car to the highway' s right side. I saw the fear and8in her eyes. I9my fear from her, so she might think I knew what I was doing. But only my Guide knew.

    I just pushed and she steered. Once again the sea of rushing cars10and her car finally was stopped at a safe11just before a police car12up behind us. The policeman was13at what he had witnessed. The girl thanked me with a14and said her friend was on the15and didn't need my help anymore. Suddenly, the officer began to16thinking my car was17parked in the ocean of traffic. I explained I parked my car across the highway. I then drove away after helping out for only a few18.

    My Guide sought the "kind act"19and cleared the way. All I had to do was20being a bystander(旁观者).

Eduardo and Mast both badly wanted a puppy. When they got1 , the top of their list in their new life together was to adopt a dog. They stopped by Animal Shelter two days before their wedding and2 connected with a 4-month-old German shepherd, Daisy. They thought she was3 for their family. However, they encountered a(an)4 situation when they learned Daisy would be ready for 5 on a first-come, first-served basis on the same day as their wedding ceremony.
