As our exams were over, my friends and I went to a fast food restaurant. We hamburgers and Coca Colar at the counter. When our came, I started walking towards an empty table. By bad luck, my purse strap(带子) got on a chair and the tray(托盘) that I was holding slipped my hands and went flying in the air. The tray, and its contents, on a man who was just about to a bite of his sandwich. I stared, greatly , as the drinks soaked(浸湿) his white shirt.
Then I my eyes and prepared myself for his burst of . Instead, he said “It’s OK” to me before he disappeared into washroom.
Still shaky and unsure to do next, my friends and I went to a table and sat there, trying our best to look . A moment later, the man came out of the washroom and our table. My heart almost stopped . I though he was going to ask for my father’ s and call him.
To my surprise, he merely smiled at us, handed us some cash and said, “ yourself new hamburgers.” He then walked without even finishing his food.
He could have made what was already an uncomfortable situation worse, he chose a different way and gave us a reason to believe that there is still in this world. I’ll never his actions.

A noted American psychologist once remarked that childhood is a magical period in one’s life．Indeed it is, for during one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in mental capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills．Each step an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities．During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself independently．At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative．His ability to remember things also at this stage． He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering．Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving．At school, particular in classes, the child is especially creative．Given a piece of paper and some colored pencils, he draws a variety of from his surroundings as well as from his circle．It is not surprising to see a child draw a monster to represent an abusive father, and an angel to represent a loving and caring mother．
As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates． He also learns to with new life situations, including dates and part-time work． Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play; the more________ and less serious ones manage to take time out of their busy schedules of assignments, reports and tests and examinations to go with their friends on relaxation entertainment．

Coming home after working out for a whole day I had my purse lost．I it had slipped out my backpack as I was being ．While it was probably very close to my apartment it still failed to come into and I had no but to cancel my debit cards．
I’d had the purse for more than a decade as it was a Christmas present ,which was a bright, red leather, Cheeky Monkey purse ,so probably not entirelyfor a 36-year-old but I was very upset to have lost it!
Everyone I spoke to I might get the purse back but the money and vouchers in it would very likely disappear．I had written off the of the purse and was even considering whether to move on and go “grown-up” when I was seeking a ．
I came home late the following night and my monkey purse was on my mat! I checked the contents and everything was including anything of cash value．I was astounded when I read the note which read, “I came across this last night．It was too dark to it then ,so I came back tonight．I got your from your license．Sorry．Iain．”
Not only had this man returned my purse but he thought he me an apology for not bringing it back sooner!
I have told almost all my acquaintances, who almost responded with a similar standard answer, “It restores your in human nature” and it lots of stories about similar experiences．
There were no contact so I am unable to get in touch to say thank you to Iain, but I hope he will be of how grateful I am!

Many of the world's pollution problems have been caused by the crowding of large groups of people into the cities．Supply for the needs of the people leads to further by industry．If the rapid increase of world population continues at the present rate, there may be much greater to human beings．

Barefoot and dirty，the girl just sat and watched the people go by．She never tried to speak．Many people passed，but never did one person stop．
The next day I decided to go back to the park，curious to see if the little girl would still be there．Right in the very spot as she was yesterday，she sat with the saddest look in her eyes．
Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl．As we all know，a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone．
As I began walking towards her，I could see the back of the little girl’s dress indicated a deformity（畸形）．I smiled to let her know it was okay，I was there to help，to talk．I sat down beside her and opened with a simple “Hello”．I smiled and she shyly smiled back．We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty．I asked the girl why she was so sad．The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said，“Because I’m different．”
I immediately said “That you are!” and smiled．The little girl acted even sadder．She said，“I know．” She looked at me and smiled．Slowly she stood to her feet，and said，“Really?”
“Yes，dear，you’re like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by．” She nodded her head “yes” and smiled，and with that she spread her wings and said with a twinkle in her eye，“I am．I’m your guardian angel．”
I was speechless，sure I was seeing things．She said，“For once you thought of someone other than yourself，my job here is done．”
Immediately I stood to my feet and said，“Wait，so why did no one stop to help an angel!?” She looked at me and smiled，“You’re the only one who could see me，and you believe it in your heart．”…and she was gone．
And with that my life changed dramatically．So，when you think you’re all you have，remember，your angel is always watching over you．Mine is!

One day，some of the girls in our neighborhood started acting a bit strangely towards me．They talking to me．After a day or so of this，I finally what was going on．I'd said something to a（n） girl the night before that she didn't like．I'd had a few that night, and like everyone I sometimes say things that severer than I mean them to．
Anyway，it seemed that the girl had told many of her friends，and now they were all at me．They found a great to think of all the other supposed“crimes”I'd committed over the past year． they'd all really liked me before, suddenly they I was a really bad guy．
This was a difficult problem．I to get along well with these people and I liked them all．I didn't want them to me because of something stupid I'd said when I was drunk．It didn't much whether they or I was wrong．All I wanted was things to be to normal again．
So I wrote the popular girl a note saying：“I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings．I didn't mean to”．And that was it．The problem was solved． ．the girls who were angry with me now liked me than ever．They felt I'd done something in admitting I was wrong and apologizing．
Learn how and when to ．Often，the pride and stubbornness you hold onto by refusing to back down isn't worth the of a lasting argument．An apology can for healing a difficult situation．And often, people will think better of you for it．
