In January 2013,Sam Bloom was on a family holiday with husband,Cameron and their three young boys.After a morning1in the sea they discovered the hotel had a rooftop platform and all went up the2to enjoy their surroundings.Suddenly Cameron heard a tremendous crash.He3around and Sam was gone-as was the safety rail（栏杆）she had been4against.Sam fell into a deep depression after the fall from the roof left her paralyzed（瘫痪的）from the chest the chest down.Doctors said she could never walk again.

    Three months later, as they were heading home from Sam's parents,Noah,her middle son,5a baby bird that had fallen to the ground.So they6it up and took it home.They called her Penguin because she looked like a penguin.She was just very7at two or three weeks old,She would have to be fed every two hours,but they decided rescuing this little bird would be a8thing to do together.

    Penguin brought joy back to the family.Sam loved having Penguin a round because she was like9.Penguin would rest on Sam's lap or on her shoulder,Sam could finally10herself without feeling guilty-she would talk to Penguin; she would11to her behind Cameron and tell her how she was feeling,Some morning Penguin would just run down the hall and jump up into bed,12her way into the quilt and then roll over and sleep. Penguin had some13 —she was not toilet-trained, and the house got quite messy.As she grew older. Penguin did sleep outside,but at six o'clock in the morning she'd be at the door,with a special14that meant,“Let me in”!

Penguin stayed away for longer periods.When she was a year old,she disappeared for six weeks.But on the little son's 13th birthday.Penguin made a16visit.a year ago,she left again and hasn't been seen17.The bird has found her freedom and Sam has a freedom of her own. Sam made a new18 —she took up boating and even made the Australia Para-boating Team.she it out of the19and in the water and back in nature.

    Over the two years. Cameron took about 14,000pictures of Penguin.which have been collected in a book called Penguin Bloom,Penguin rescued the family as much as they rescued her.Sam got20it,thanks to her family, exercise and yes,the friendship pf a bird.Angels come in all shapes and sizes!

    Armed with a bachelor's degree in medicine, I left Jammu, my hometown, for Delhi hoping to find a good job. Those were testing time — I was 1 my resume at every hospital and clinic in the capital, and facing upsetting 2responses. These big-city folks seemed too busy to care about a 23-year-old, jobless girl. Then a friend told me about the “Technical Recruitment Cell”,3 near the Income Tax Office (ITO), where I could 4 for a government job.

    The next day I reached the ITO area and 5 in the sun for an hour asking everybody for the Technical Recruitment Cell, but no one had any idea 6 it was.

    It was 7 and the heat unbearable. I then reached a big book shop, full of books on law and finance. Maybe I'll 8 inside, I thought as I walked in and found a man aged about 40 busy at his PC.9him, I asked if he knew the address. Seeing me drenched in sweat (大汗淋淳)，he asked me to take a 10 and offered me a glass of water. He then googled “Technical Recruitment Cell”, but without 11. I must have looked frustrated.

    “Don't get 12.” he said, as he continued his search. “We'll find it.” He'd spent several minutes searching when an older man who also 13 in the shop, came by and asked us what we were looking for.

    “Beta, it might be the Delhi Subordinate Board,” he suggested. “They 14 people for government posts.” We searched for that and found it 15 — actually the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board. They then gave me a printout of the 16

    “What do I 17you for the Internet time and the printout?” I asked the first gentleman.

    “Oh, nothing. Good luck!”

    “Thank you,” I said to the pair. The older man then told me the 18 of the bus that would get me there, the fare, even the best 19 to take, finally saying “God bless you!” as I walked out.

    I was happy in the discovery that not all city folks are too 20to help other.

    The rosebushes were finally in full bloom on that spring morning.

    The sight of roses always brings to1Wanda's childhood memories. Then the family had no 2to buy extra things, so even a tired rose was something to 3 .

    Currently, to have a backyard full of different roses is pure 4. And her husband, Dale, devotedly 5the roses. 6that she loves the very first blooms, he picked some on this particular morning.

    But as Dale returned, he came across a neighbor who had7 for a quick visit. As the woman turned to go, Dale generously gave the 8 to her. And even though their visitor 9 she didn't want to take them, she was10 assured(确信)that the flowers were hers to keep.

    Seeing her precious first blooms go out the door11Wanda with regret, and a bit of 12. She knew it was "better to give than to receive." 13, she wished she could have kept the roses for herself.

    Later that day, the couple headed to the post office, where Wanda waited outside in the car.

    Then, without14, an older woman suddenly appeared at the open window, and gave her a bunch of fresh roses! "These are for you. They're my first blooms this spring."

    Completely 15, Wanda thanked the woman and16 for a moment to breathe in the rich fragrance. When she looked back, the mysterious visitor was gone.

That special17changed Wanda. It made her understand the true meaning of18gifts. Now, she always19her first blooms to others, as a(n)20that someone is thinking of them.

    Yesterday I learned about the death of a member of the Eisner Camp family, Jonah Dreskin. Jonah, a 19-year-old freshman at the University of Buffalo, was found in a(n)1condition lying on a campus road Sunday night, and died on the way to the2. The police are still3the cause of his death.

    I didn't really4Jonah, but I heard of him. He was a rabbi's (犹太教教士的) child and had spent many years at camp like I did.5I didn't really know him, I wish I had. I've been6people's memories of him on the wall of a Facebook group, and he was really a(n) 7person. Jonah clearly touched many people and will be greatly8.

    Like Jonah, I've always been the kind of person who enjoys making people feel9. I like to send cards to friends on birthdays or other 10, although not to all of them every year. I hardly ever11any, but that doesn't matter because that is not the reason why I do it. I just think about my friends getting the12through email and their smiles on their faces when they  13them, and that's all I need.

    14, remember that life is valuable. You should15someone for doing good or16 you out. Tell your friends that you're17to have them during your lifetime, and send email to a friend or relative that you haven't18for a very long time. Tell some people that they're 19to you, that you love them, and that you miss them… 20the truth is that you never know what tomorrow will bring and how you are going to make the most of today.

    One day when I was 15 years old, I had some friends over to hang out. While we were making food in the 1, my brother came in. He 2 his beef next to my thick one and said, "Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don't need to eat; you're already fat enough." Then he walked out, laughing.

    3 comments on my physical appearance were nothing new. Something inside me 4 to his idea that my legs were unacceptable, and that became the last day that I ever willingly wore 5 until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer roasting in long pants.

    But then I 6 Ragen Chastain, and she changed everything. I couldn't believe that this woman who, like myself, almost 7 300 pounds was so 8 and happy in her own skin. I listened 9 she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our bodies are, just by 10 of the things they do every day-like 11, pumping blood to every ceil, blinking and walking..

    Walking! I was suddenly aware of how foolish I'd been for so long. There're people who are born 12 legs, or who lack properly working legs, or who 13 their legs, and I'd been 14 my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs in 15 because I had allowed someone to 16 me that they weren't good enough. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the 17.

    The next time anyone comments on your body in a 18 way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, "If what you see 19 you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else." That's Ragen's original, but I don't think she'll mind 20 you use it.

In 2019, Thierry Henry, a bus driver, found there was a rise in bike thefts in his city, Reykjavik. Rather than 1 that the bike was gone forever, he decided to take matters into his own hands and started to track down the bikes and return them to their 2 owners. 

The 44-year-old has helped return hundreds of stolen bikes in the past 4 years. His social media account has over 14, 500 members and helps people track down more than just lost bikes. His page 3 to people who have lost tools, cars and other items of high value. On top of his noble act, Henry has helped the bike 4 to reform in the process. 

5 , Henry would deal with the thieves with anger. However, over time, he realized that most of the thefts were driven out of poverty and other issues. He went from feeling 6 towards the thieves, to developing empathy （同理心） for their situations. It was very tough at first. But Henry decided to try to 7 them and just talk to them. 

From this moment onward, he reached out to the thieves, offering help and guidance. After the change in his 8 , Henry found that the bike thieves began to often hand back the bikes to him. Amazingly, some former thieves that Henry helped now 9 him in looking for the stolen bikes. 

"It's like a 10 that has got bigger and bigger, ". says Henry. "It's not only me. Many times, someone spots a bike hidden in a bush and takes a picture. Then someone else comments, 'hey, that's my bike'. "

Thanks to Henry, everyone's looking out.
