Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. However, I was not thinking about the golden chain when I had to help people who 36 their way and parked in front of my house.
I was growing tired of helping so many people. Almost every 37 I was awaken during a sound night’s sleep and had to 38 someone out. Many times I was 39 by some penniless motorists who did not even thank me for the helps that they received and some even complained that I could have done 40 .
One day, a young man with a week – old beard climbed out of a 41 automobile. He had no money and no food. He asked if I could give him some 42 , offer him gasoline and a meal. I told him that if he wanted to work for me, he could cut the grass, but 43 the work wasn’t necessary.
Though sweaty and hungry, he worked hard. After working all day, he sat 44 to cool himself. I thanked him for his work and gave him the money he 45 . I then offered him some 46 money for a task particularly well done, but he shook his head, 47 .
I never saw him again. He probably thinks I helped him out that day, but that is not 48 it was. I didn’t help him. He helped me to 49 people again to repay their trust in me. He helped me to once again want to do something for those who are 50 . I wish I could thank him for 51 some of my belief in the basic 52 of others and for giving me back a little of the 53 I had lost. Because of him, I once again felt part of a golden chain of kindness that 54 us to others.
I may have fed his body that day, but he fed my 55 .

Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables.

At first I was afraid to be a “stepfather”. Therefore, I tried not to come _40_ my future daughter and her 41 father. I acted in that way in order to be liked. However, 42 she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to 43 with her.
Once her school required the parents to individually write an open and 44 letter to our children. I wrote a letter about a little golden-haired girl who had 45 me a bowl of soup when I needed 46 .
A week later, all the parents 47 together with our children. The students were allowed to make a few statements. I was 48 to hear what my daughter would say.
Finally my daughter 49 make her way up to the microphone. She said something like others and then 50 , “At this very moment, I just want to say …I love you, Father.”

I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over.Now l think it's time.
Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium.After it ran,I got a call from a marl in the western suburbs.He said,“I read what you wrote about Jordan.but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.”
Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.
A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty .neighborhood?
"Not two boys," Jordan said. "But four."
And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?
"Everything,” Jordan said. " Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they're paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it."
It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's life one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to tuna against Jordan as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.
【小题1】The writer wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends because _______
A.he thought highly of Jordan's deeds |
B.he hated to see Jordan do something bad |
C.he believed it was time to help the disabled |
D.he felt sure he needn't keep the promise then |
A.know why Jordan stopped in a bad area |
B.get a chance to become famous himself |
C.let the writer know Jordan was not that nice |
D.offer an example to show how Jordan helped others |
A.needed their support |
B.had promised to do so |
C.liked to teach them to play basketball |
D.wanted to make sure they all studied well |
A.an excellent basketball player |
B.good at dealing with problems of life |
