It was a winter morning,just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005.While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival,he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.After putting in 10 hours of labor,he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike,a black Kona 18 speed,was our only transport.Trevor used it to get to work,putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品雜貨),saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help.One wonderful stranger even bought a bike,then called my husband to pick it up.Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another,but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole.And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we,too,can share with others.No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting(永恒的).

A.They used it for work and daily life.

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
