On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking back home from a pizza store. We had bought many things. We were dressed  26 , and I was feeling a little 27   as I was carrying our shopping, so I decided to throw something away. I was walking towards a dustbin（垃圾箱） 28   I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of us. He headed over to the nearby dustbin and started looking through it. I suddenly felt very  29   because I was about to throw away a new drink just because it was too heavy. I walked up to him and handed the 30   and some bread over to him. The man looked up  31   and took what I gave him. A huge smile  32   on his face. I felt I couldn’t be happier with33  . But then he said, “Wow, this is my son’s lucky day!” With that, he thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I  34   heard him singing as he rode away. I got a warm 35   inside. I now understand what it  36   by the saying “Giving is getting”.
 37  it was only a little action, I got and learned more in those two minutes than I did in the rest of the month. Everyone in the world  38 help. Everyone can give help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness.
The scene of that man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind  39 I have the chance to do something nice. This is the power（力量）of   40 .

While I was waiting to go into university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I   16 . Because I was in great need of   17  and wanted to do something useful, I applied(申請(qǐng)).
Three days later, a letter   18 . It asked me to see the   19  at Croydon. It proved to be a(n)   20  journey —a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of   21  a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principal   22  opened the door. He was   23  and round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the   24  except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into  25  groups and teach them at three different   26 , and I was not    27  at the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was   28  that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon   29  most of my friends would be   30  themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”

When I was 16 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a  26   .

It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away.   2 7  a result, no one knew I was. I was very  28  , and afraid to make friends with anyone.

Every time I   29  the other students talking and laughing. I felt my heart 30  . I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problems. An who d I didn’t want my parents to 31  me.

Then one day, my classmates talked  32 with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.   33   , a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know  34 he was. He passed me and then   35  . He looked at me, without a word, but a smile.

  36 , I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and  37  .

That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became   38   to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.

One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t remember  39  at me!

It doesn’t matter   40   all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.
