Dear Dad,
I’m writing to you because it’s not easy to talk about it. I still 1 clearly how my uncle died two years ago. In fact, I seriously want to ask you to stop smoking. I’ve looked up a lot of information about smoking and I found out something 2 . You know that smoking is bad for your 3 and can cause cancer. I’ve learnt that it causes many other 4 too. Do you know that over ten thousand people die from smoking every year in Britain?
When mum asks you to smoke 5 , you think she’s angry. Well, it’s true that she doesn’t like the 6 of smoke in the house. When you smoke, it’s also 7 for mum and me. In other words, when we 8 in your smoke, it’s like we’re smoking ourselves. 9 , we can also get disease. Doctors are finding that more and more 10 are falling ill because of the others’ smoking.
I know that it’s very 11 to stop smoking, but you must give it up. Please see the doctor and ask him 12 help. We will do anything we can to help you. You must try to 13 your own life. We don’t want to 14 you because you are so important to us. 15 you, who can help me with my maths homework or mend my bike? Please don’t smoke!
Your daughter,
Meimei

Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.
When he was 12, his parents . He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed him. No one showed kindness (友善) to him. His only friend was a dog named Tige.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped , she dropped other bags. He came to help her.“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”She said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to him. These were kind words he had ever heard. He watched her she went far away, and he whistled（吹口哨）to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.
“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low
he said to his dog,“You are a nice little dog!”Tige raised ears as if（似乎）it understood.
“Uh! Even a dog likes it!”he said,“Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.”Tige waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw but a dirty boy. He washed his face . Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed (震惊). From then on, he had a new life.
After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said,“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed (种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. a great power it has!” If you show kindness to others, you will be an able man.

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 80 miles. It was late, and I was driving .
At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. I was on the road by now, but as I came near the light, it turned , and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. No car, no suggestion of headlights, there I sat, waiting for the light to , the only human being, for at least a mile in any .
I started wondering why I to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no in going through it.
Much later that , after I'd met with a group in Lewisburg and had climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I'd stopped for that light me. I think I stopped it's part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to follow : we don't go through red lights.
We do we say we'll do. We show up when we say we'll show up.
I was so of myself for stopping for that red light. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, I had to tell someone.

Three days later, a letter arrived. It asked me to meet the principal of the school at Croydon. It proved to be a(n) journey -a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of a quarter of a mile.
A man who was short and round seemed to be the principal and he opened the door for me. "The school," he said, "has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen years old." According to the man, I should have to teach all the subjects art, which the man himself taught. I should have to the class into three groups and teach them at three different levels, and I was not glad at the of teaching Maths -a subject which I wasn't good at. It was that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my ,the man got up to his feet. "Now," he said,“You'd better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”
