He almost didn’t see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front her Mercedes and got out.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt.
He said, “I am here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened, had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were many people who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.”
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very 31 , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for 32 , people would stare. I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted 33 . If he ever noticed or was 34 , he never showed that he knew.
It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his hesitant, mine 35 - and because of that, we didn’t say much 36 we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
Our 37 walk was to or from the subway, which was 38 he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would 39 it to the office even if others could not. A matter of 40 .
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or 41 . What he looked for 42 others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the 43 was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 44 by which to judge people, even though I 45 don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. 46 I know the times I don’t have one myself.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he 47 I was unwilling to be seen with him during our 48 . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling 49 to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to 50 my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
31.A. weak B. depressed C. short D. cautious
32.A. balance B. strength C. comfort D. courage
33.A. care B. attention C. situation D. friendship
34.A. puzzled B. confused C. amazed D. bothered
35.A. delighted B. impatient C. sympathetic D. determined
36.A. before B. since C. as D. once

To all of you at Chinese love links.
I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.
I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.
Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicate via e-mails 2-3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Yun and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and bring her to the USA under the finance visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.
So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur
