I have been applying, interviewing, etc since July with no prospects(前景). I have been told mostly that I am overqualified, or they need fulltime etc. I had been getting pretty down and discouraged. I was actually asking myself why can’t someone be kind enough to take me on as an .
This past Tuesday evening it was outside and going to be 9 pm as I was waiting at a bus stop. Just as the bus a young woman approached me. She had a T-shirt, Capri pants, and slippers on. She also was wearing several hospital bracelets.
I my purse and took out $5.00 so she could get something to eat. I then took off my jacket and and gave them to her. I said, “These are a little big but they should keep warm.” She looked at me and said “Aren’t you going to be cold?” I told her my being cold for 15 minutes I got to my place was worth it if I knew she would be a little warmer. She sobbed and thanked me with a hug. I just told her to .
Then after I got on the bus that’s the miracle of spreading happened. I stepped up to pay the and the bus driver said, “Mam, I saw what you just did and your fare is me, even though technically we aren’t supposed to let you get on the bus without shoes.” he said with a wink.
A lady who was dressed in a very business suit called me over to her seat. She said, “I want to know the of the person who just did the most thing I have ever seen.” I told her my name and she said , “What can I do for you to what I just witnessed?” I said a paying job would be nice.
The next day she called me and said that she had a administrative assistant position in her company and wanted me to meet with the manager. It that the lady was the head Human Resources person.
I start Monday morning at 9am! Thank you all for inspiring me to keep passing the kindness on! I never expected to get so much back in return!

I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them. One day, a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old. “There’s a 36 in my upper jaw,” she said. “I told my own dentist it's nothing, but he 37 I come to see you.”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would 38 to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the 39 of her mouth. A careful examination later 40 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment, I explained to her the 41 of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m just 42 . ”
I thought otherwise. After considerable 43 on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted to 44 me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon(外科医生). She saw him, but as I expected, 45 treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and 46 .
“How are you?” I asked.
“I’m just fine, honey,” she responded 47 high spirits. “When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all, I answered 48 , “Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes. The cancer that had 49 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness 50 .
I had read of such things happening, but had 51 seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting 52 to see. In fact, miracles are daily events for me now. And people are a miracle, 53 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to 54 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle, I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved．That person was my stepmother．
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia．My father 36 me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is 37 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 38 than tomorrow morning．”
My stepmother walked over to me, 39 my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye．Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are 40 ．This is not the worst boy at all, 41 the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet（释放的途径）for his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a（n） 42 between us．No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 43 as a bad boy．My stepmother changed all that．
She changed many things．She 44 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors．She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more 45 and my brother and I could be better 46 ．
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 47 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer．I knew her enthusiasm, I 48 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives．I accepted her 49 and began to write for local newspapers．I was doing the same kind of 50 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later．I wasn’t the 51 beneficiary （受益者）．My father became the 52 man in town．My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president．
What power 53 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is 54 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible（不可抗拒的）force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 55 ．
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it．This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm．

James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 36 the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was $90! 37 on earth was he going to get the 38 of the money? He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 39 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 40 to ask his parents, for he knew they had no money to 41 . There was only one way to get money, and that was to 42 it. He would have to find a job. 43 who would hire him and what c
ould he do? He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice, who usually had __44 in most things. "Well, you can start right here," said Mr Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing." That was the 45 of James’s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was surprised by the 46 jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the 47 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the 48 increased and he knew that he would soon have 49 for the bicycle he was dying for. The day 50 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 51 no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 52 home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard 53 for the money, but James knew that he valued (重视) his bicycle far more 54 he had bought it with his own money. He had 55 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

One day last month after I received my salary, I went shopping with my little son. __41_in the crowded store, I had my money __42_ and my whole salary was gone with it.
