Mrs. Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the first day of school. She found a boy sleeping in his seat. He was Teddy. Also Thompson noticed the boy didn't play well with the other children. It got to the point "F" at the top of his papers. Mrs. Thompson reviewed each child's past records. However, when she reviewed Teddy's file(档案), she was in a surprise.
Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child. He does his work neatly and has good manners..."
His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, but he is troubled because his mother has an illness and life at home is difficult."
His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death had been hard on him. He tries his best, but his father doesn't show much interest in his study..."
Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t talk with other’s. Also he doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and he sometimes sleeps in class."
By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents wrapped in beautiful and bright paper, except for Teddy’s. He sent a rhinestone bracelet(石链手镯) with some stones missing. But Mrs. Thompson told him with a smile, “I like it very much.” After school Teddy said, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mother used to be." Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class. Teddy became one of her "teacher's pets."

About 3 months ago, my father was in hospital recovering from a major lung operation. My mother had recently passed away, and my father had taken the loss of his partner of 58 years very hard and had lost interest in life. It was quite difficult to try to get him to eat each day as he didn’t want anything. The one thing, however, that he would ask us to bring him was ice cream.
One evening, to our surprise, he refused to eat the ice cream, so I placed it in a staffroom refrigerator. A little while later, my son said he wanted it, so I fetched it for him. As I passed another ward (病房), a woman asked, “Are there more where that came from?” When I explained, she seemed very disappointed. She then said that she had cancer and could eat very little other than the occasional ice cream.
The next evening, I decided to buy two ice creams. On the way to dad’s room, I came into the sick woman’s room, and offered her the ice cream I’d bought for her. She was totally astonished that I had thought of her, and accepted the gift with tears in her eyes. I spoke with her for a few minutes, explaining what was happening in my family and listened to her similar story of pain and suffering. It was obvious that she did not have many visitors.
I repeated the gesture a few days later, and this time I received a warm hug. I never even thought to ask her name and never saw her again, but it made me realize that a simple act of kindness can bring joy to a person’s unfortunate life.
