I drove to a local supermarket the other day. My shopping list was and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could it all.
As I the door, I saw a man with kind eyes and a gentle . He said he was collecting for a local food bank that helped to the hungry in my area. He handed me a second shopping list of things they could use and asked me to if I could. I smiled back, took the and walked into the store. I really wanted to help, but wasn’t sure if I could this time.
I walked through the store, picking up vegetables, soup, spaghetti, bread, milk, cereal, macaroni, bananas, and a dozen other things. I slowly each item off my list until I was done. When I looked down at my full cart I again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then, as I put my own list back into my pocket, I saw the food list under it. I smiled and decided to trust my heart.
With the food bank in mind, I went over and two of the biggest boxes of rice the store had and put them in my cart. It took six dollars out of my wallet to pay for them, my heart felt six times larger when I did. And when everything was , I had just enough to pay for it all.
It so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a child’s belly(肚子). A smile and hug can help to a hurting heart. An encouraging word can inspire someone else to live and to love. A random of kindness can change another’s day and life. It is up to us, . If we can a few dollars on rice , then we can share a love that will last forever.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
