I was on vacation with my husband,my brother,his wife and daughter.We were not1with the area and got on a bus,thinking it would be a nice way to see the downtown's old town area.Well,2talking with the bus driver,we didn't find that we were.on the neighborhood route（线路）which3school children and delivers people to various4places.That was a route of over about two hours.That was a surprise and a concern because we5our vehicle in a6parking area and it was going to end.

    We shared this with the bus driver only to let her know we were not from the area and7for getting on her bus by mistake.Then she surprised us8further saying,“I get off shift（换班）after a few more blocks,and if you don't9taking my company car,I'd be happy to take you10to your vehicle before the time end.”The bus driver received permission from her11,so we gratefully said yes to her12.

    She went out of her way to take us back to our vehicle13her shift was over and it wasn't on her route to home either.We were14and grateful for her kindness.15,because she shared some of her16about the school-age children she sometimes had on the bus route,I offered her a few17on how to quiet the children with a skill that would make the ride safer for them18for her.She was so19.It was a wonderful20of kindness!

    Last year I broke the record for the oldest person in the world to ride a rollercoaster. I'm 105, but the doctor agrees I'm in good 1

    The rollercoaster I rode 2 you round quite fast. It was, however, a bit too 3for me. I'd have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn't ride it, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have 4

    I wasn't nervous. I was securely 5 in, so I knew I wouldn't fall out. The rollercoaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and I 6 every second. Later, someone came to 7 me with the Guinness World Records Certificate.

    My 8 ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ice-bucket challenge. My great-granddaughter recommended me to have a bucket of 9 water poured on my head. I was 102 then. It 10 that I was the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video clip of me was very 11 After that, I started to think about what else I could do for different 12My family say I'm crazy, but they always go along with me. I do get people 13I take it easy, but I'm not taking any14.

    If someone now broke my world record, I'd say, “Good luck to you.” But the real15 is not what I've done; it's how hard I've always worked. I'm taking it easy now, so I have found a new challenge. I was suspended on a rope from a crane about 25 feet high and 16myself down. It was fun.

    I've got a few ideas for the next charity challenge on my 106th birthday, but nothing has been 17yet. All I can say is that it will be 18 good, if not better than the rollercoaster.

    I'm not sure if anyone is19 of all the fun I'm having. They just say I'm silly and that's about it. On 20I've had many good days. I've had a really good life.

    Looking at the checkout lines at the grocery, I quickly turned my handcart to line number three. There were only two women there, and neither had kids or coupons(赠券) ! The store was my first 1that morning, and I had a half dozen others on my2before meeting my husband for lunch.

    Two minutes turned into ten, and I watched as the other lines moved 3. I moved my 4in the shopping handcart and dug for my wallet, trying to5the cashier that it was time to get a move on. Finally, after fifteen minutes, I took a breath and6. Then I heard the cashier tell the women in front of me: “And just like that, he told me what she looked like and 7one hundred dollars here to8her groceries. He said not to worry about the9, just give it to charity.”

    The story she was10had taken place in the sales department. An older man had witnessed a(n) 11mama in need.12for foods with kids around, she was sticking to her list and 13the items on her calculator as she went. The gentleman said he had a little 14on him that day, so he left one hundred dollars to 15her groceries and, just maybe, add a little wiggle room(回旋的余地) to her 16.

    After hearing about the man who had17served a fellow traveler in life, I realized that my hurry, 18and general worries were19. What's five extra minutes in a line to hear a story of a man sharing his  20? Suddenly, I know I could wait.

    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.

    I started volunteering at a soup kitchen several years ago. The original reason I was going was to 1 community service hours for school. My plan was to 2 go there a few times and get my service hours, but it taught me a lot. The typical volunteer there served 3 to people.

    Basically, I was 4 serving bread and juice to whoever wanted it, which was a simple task. Some of the people were homeless, and some of them were 5 families. All of them were people in need of a hot meal and a place to 6 for an hour or several minutes. 7 some of them looked like they weren't behaving well, we always took care of them.

    The first time I went there was right before Christmas. For the people coming to the soup kitchen, it was not exactly a 8 time. It made me think about my happy Christmas and made me feel how 9 I was. Unlike them, I have a home and I don't 10 cold or hunger. At that point, I decided that I 11 wanted to go back there. I couldn't offer them much, but I could always offer my time and 12. The experience also gives me a feeling of 13. Whenever I go there, people are 14 that I showed up again. They know my name and they know that I am more than happy to 15 them. It truly feels good to know that you can 16 someone's day. I've realized that the feeling of doing good for people can be a better 17 than any amount of money. You can't buy that feeling.

    I have never 18 a single second of my volunteering. It 19 me that dozens of cities have made it illegal to set up a soup kitchen. But I will continue my volunteer work and find more ways to show my 20 to people in need.

    "I have recently completed my college degree." The project we were 1 to do in the last class was called "Smile". The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and record their 2.

    Soon, my husband and I went out to a McDonald's for 3. We were standing in line, waiting to be 4, when everyone around us began to back away. 5 I turned around, I smelled a 6 "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two 7 homeless men.

    As I looked down at the short gentleman, he was "smiling". His blue eyes were 8 of expectation as if in search of acceptance. The second man 9 awkward. I realized the second man was mentally challenged.

    The young lady at the 10 asked him what they wanted. He said," coffee is all, Miss," because that was all they could 11. If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy 12. I realized that he just wanted to be 13. It was too cold outside.

    Then I really felt it—the compulsion(冲动) was so great that I almost reached out and embraced the short man. I noticed all the customers in the restaurant were 14 at me, judging my every action. I smiled and 15 two more breakfast meals for the two men. The short man looked up at me in 16 with tears in his eyes.

    I returned to the 17 on the last evening of class with this story. I turned in "my project" and the teacher read it. Then she said," Can I 18 this?"

    I nodded. She began to read 19 while every student listened attentively.

    In my own way I 20 the people at McDonald's, my teacher, and every student in the classroom. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
