Free Sweets in His Taxi to Delight and Heal（治愈）
Mansoor Khalid, a 37-year-old electrical engineer from Pakistan, has been driving a yellow taxi in New York City since 1996. In 2010, his son, Saad, was born with a heart disease. Every time Mr. Khalid visited him in the hospital after his day shift（轮班）, he would bring much _________ to drink during nights to take care of his son. He even gave some to the doctors and nurses there, who called him "coffee man".
Last April, Saad died at 18 months old. Although Mr. Khalid was so sad, he had to _________ to work. After his son's death, he got into the habit of buying some sweets for his passengers, which nearly cost him $300 every month.
From his experience in the hospital with his son, Mr. Khalid learned that giving to others could at least _________ his feeling of loss, if not heal it.
"I'd like to buy something for people; I feel _________," Mr. Khalid said. "When you give something from your hand, someone gives a smile to you in return.”
Since then, he has become famous on the Internet. His kind behavior _________ a lot of customers, with more pickups from fans who send their positions to him on Twitter or Facebook.
But he doesn't expect the 13,000 other yellow taxis to do the same. The $300 a month Mr. Khalid spends on candy would _________ help many people to support their families for a time. Actually, it is not a small sum.
"If you think about it, you will _________ why he does it, after all, you don't get that sort of kindness very often." said Juan Miranda, who drives Mr. Khalid's taxi during the nights.
"Everybody is sometimes unhappy and stressed. Living in New York City is not very easy, so when passengers see all the candies, chocolates, they will cheer up in a short time," Mr. Khalid explained. "Some people even start crying with _________."

Every month we look at a different artist. We think Haroshi is super cool—he makes sculptures from skateboards.
Haroshi is in his late 30s. He's a skateboarder but he also makes things from wood. He began skateboarding when he was 15 years old and he loved it. He used to skate every day. Now, if you know anything about skateboarding, you'll know that skateboards don't last forever because they break. Haroshi didn't throw his out but he collected them. Over time he built up a big collection and at the same time he learnt about all the different types of skateboards. Surprisingly, not all skateboards are of the same shape and actually they are often built in different ways. By the time he was 25, he had a lot of collections of old skateboards.
He decided he had to do something with them so he started to cut them up. As he was doing that, he noticed some interesting patterns（图案）in the wood. He then cut more and fixed them on top of each other. The first thing he created from the wood was a piece of jewelry. He created something new from something old.
Today, however, he is known for his large 3D wooden sculptures. His ideas generally come from skateboarding culture, from skateboarding cats to cool trainers, but also everyday topics such as hurting yourself, getting better, being crazy about something and growing up. All skateboarders will understand these. Haroshi has made over 40 pieces and each piece takes a very long time. There is no doubt that he is very talented. But he had no formal art training. He taught himself.
Haroshi held an exhibition（展览）in London last month. As we entered the ?rst room, we saw a huge bird that covered one wall. There was also a sculpture called Ordinary Life. It looked like a broken leg—a very common problem, of course. It's unbelievable to think that these sculptures are all made from broken skateboards. But there's something else that is really interesting about Haroshi's works. In the twelfth century, Unkei, a sculptor, placed a glass ball in each of his works to show the heart of the piece. Haroshi also places something inside his sculptures—a piece of broken skateboard. In this way, he gives his sculptures life. We think that is just amazing!
1.When did Haroshi begin skateboarding?
2.What was the ?rst thing Haroshi created from the wood?
3.How many pieces of sculptures has Haroshi made?
4.What kind of person is Haroshi according to the passage?
5.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
