    Jackson and Thomas are two good friends. They always 1 each other.

    One evening Jackson says to his wife, "Thomas got married (结婚) last month. He doesn't have 2 money. I'd like to give something to him in his 3.

    "Oh, that's a good 4," says his wife. "But don't tell him," says Jackson. "If he knows I put things there, he will 5 take them.

    So, later that night Jackson takes two bags of fruit and food to Thomas's kitchen.

    The next day, he 6 something strange (奇怪的).

    "I took two bags of fruit and food to Thomas's house last night, 7 I still have the same number of bags in my house. 8 did that happen?"

    Jackson 9 to take the things again that night. But the next morning, he sees the 10 number of bags again! "That's strange," he thinks. That night he 11 again.

    He carries a large bag of fruit and food in his hand. With the bright moonlight, he can see 12 person coming down the road. He is carrying something in his 13, too.

    "Thomas!" Jackson cries. "What are you doing?"

    "I'm worried about you, Jackson", says Thomas. "Your family is 14 than mine. I think you need more food and fruit. The two friends quickly know what happens to them.

    They both laugh happily. "It is15 to have a friend like you," they both say.

    I remember sitting in an airport one day, waiting for my flight. I was1because I had a first-class(头等的) ticket. And in first class, the seats are2, and the food is more delicious, Actually, I had the best seat on the whole plane! Seat 1A. Before boarding, I3a young lady who had a big suitcase(手提箱) and several carry-on bags holding a crying baby. 4, the handle(把手) of her suitcase broke and the suitcase fell to the floor. She tried 5the case and her bags landed on the floor, too.

    "Let me help." I said to her.

    I 6 her suitcase over my left shoulder, put her bags on my right and asked, "Where to?"

    "Gate 20," she said, and showed me her ticket. Seat 24B

    "Oh, we are on the same flight."

    Boarding started, and I7that she needed the first class ticket. "It looks like you could use the first-class ticket more than me. I know how   8it can be flying with a kid. Why don't we trade tickets?"

    "Are you sure?" she asked.

    "Yes, just take my ticket and give me yours. I really don't9. I'm just going to be working the whole time, anyway."

    "That's very kind of you." she said, and expressed her10as we traded our tickets.

    Then we boarded the plane. I was surprised at the good 11it give me while watching her sit down in seat 1A. In fact, seat 24 B or12I was sitting didn't seem that bad at all. At one point during the flight I wanted to see how she was doing. So I13, walked to the first-class section, and had a look. There she was with her baby,14asleep. Seeing they were sleeping in big and 15seat 1A. I felt like a million bucks. I've got to keep doing this kind of thing.

    Mr. Brown was very fat and he didn't feel well. Mrs. Brown was1about his weight (体重).

    "You must see a doctor," she said, "and ask him how to2weight. It's not good3your health." "OK." Mr. Brown said, and then he went to see the doctor.

    The doctor looked him over, then he said, "Nothing serious, you are too heavy. You must lose430 kilos. Eat only fruit and vegetables and run five kilometers a day for the next5days, then call and tell me how6you are."

    Mr. Brown went home and did7the doctor told him. One hundred days8, he called the doctor.

    "Mr. Brown here, doctor," he said. "I'm calling to tell you about my weight. You will be9to know that I lost 30 kilos."

    "Great!" The doctor said. "Yes, but there's another10," Mr. Brown said. "I'm 500 kilometers from home!"

    My friend and I entered a little coffee house and ordered two cups of coffee. While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, " 1 cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three there on the wall." The waiter served them with respect (尊敬). They paid for their order, took the two and left. As soon as they left, the waiter 2 put three pieces of paper on the wall. We saw this with great 3.

Some more people came. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid and went away. Then came three lawyers who paid for seven coffees —three for 4 and four suspended(待用). I really 5 what the suspended coffees were. Suddenly a man came into the coffee house. The way this man was dressed didn't 6 the style(风格）of this coffee shop. He kindly ordered a coffee on the wall. The waiter served coffee to this man, showing him the same 7 as the other customers. The man had his coffee and left 8 paying. The waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.

At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple—people pay the coffee in advance(预先) for someone who can't 9 it. The tradition with the suspended coffees 10 in Italy, but it has spread all over the world. A suspended coffee is not only a cup of coffee, but also the warmth and love to someone in need.
