I was in the queue for the supermarket checkout(付款台) earlier today．All of the checkouts were 36 , and the woman behind me was not happy! Every word that came from her mouth was a(n) 37 ! She wasn’t happy with the number of checkouts 38 ; she wasn’t happy with the amount of shopping some people had in their baskets; she wasn’t happy because this supermarket didn’t have a stand where she 39 scan her own shopping.
I listened to her 40 looking around as I loaded my stuff onto the conveyor belt (传送带)．I didn’t want 41 to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go 42 of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!
But then I 43 back．Standing beside the woman was a five-year-old girl, 44 her granddaughter．The girl’s part of the shopping 45 of some comic books.
I couldn’t 46 it．I pushed my shopping back to the end of the conveyor belt, 47 a space．“After you,” I said to the woman and the girl, and 48 them to a big49 ．The woman was delighted, and even 50 to complain ---- until she was walking away．
So,51 bother having helped? It was because that little girl was probably taking in her granny’s complaint like a sponge(海绵)．She was learning how to 52 situations like that by listening to her granny．I’d seen that I could interrupt that complaining, and put a smile and some 53 into the middle of it．
We can all complain; we can all react 54 , but it doesn’t have to be like that．And, even if only for a few 55 , I wanted to leave that little soul with just a glimpse of another way．

The night started out ordinarily enough. Jack and Tara, our 36 , were in their small beds surrounded by toy animals. My husband, Pat, and I went to sleep 37 .
38 after midnight, Jack quietly touched me. “Mommy, I want to stay with you. I promise I won’t take much room.” I shifted 39 to make room. My son soon fell asleep.
An hour later, Tara cried and I carefully went downstairs. “Mommy, my 40 is all stuffed up（堵住）. I can’t really breathe very well. Will you please 41 with me a little while?” Tara doesn’t often get up at night, 42 I decided to be there for her. She soon fell asleep. I returned to my own bed. I was determined to sleep.

Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little 31 . It’s not that Ben is unsociable , or a bad cook , but it’s just that he never 32 more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 33 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 34 table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the 35 for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked 36 at each other---what did he 37 to?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup.“It’s a 38 of carrots , potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next 39 was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just 40 mixture of vegetable.
As we ate we chatted and finally the 41 turned back to what we were eating.“Was there a recipe（食谱）for this,” asked Marina ,“or did you 42 it up?”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked 43 what I could find.”Marina was surprised.“But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”“But there’s 44 choice in what you can find 45 supermarkets.” He replies.
46 that we had all finished the food , Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually 47 away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of 48 , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had 49 provided a decent(不错的) meal for his friends , and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food , but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 50 millions of people.

As this one drew near ,the old man 35the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a 36to the other side?” There appear to be passage way by foot."
Reining his horse, the rider replied, “Sure. Hop aboard.” Seeing the old man was unable to 37his half – frowned body from the ground, the horseman dismounted and helped the old man onto the horse. The horse took the old man not just across the fiver ,but to his 38.

The old man 43himself slowly down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, "I’ve been around here for some time .I 44I know people pretty good. The old – timer continued. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no 45for my situation. It would have been 46even to ask them for a ride. But when looked into your eyes, kindness and compassion were 47. I knew, then and there, that your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me 48my time of need.”
Those heartwarming comments 49the horseman deeply.
“I'm most grateful for what you have said.” He told the old man .''May I have get too 50 in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion ."
