It was the Peter shopkeeper in New York who taught me about the great power of kindness.
At that time I was a poor student. I would work early mornings and the late nights to pay for my studies.
On the day I went to that shop for the first time. I was sick with a very high fever. I had been off work for a few days, and I had run out of food. As I had been so busy working, I hardly had friends nearby who could help.
So I went out to get some food. Usually, I would have gone to the supermarket, but because it was closer, I went into the Peter Shop. I picked up a few items, and then handed them to the shopkeeper, who told me, “Girl, you are unwell.” I nodded.
He pointed at the sausage （香肠） and bread I was buying and offered, “l can make you a sandwich, so you don't have to do it yourself.” So, he made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. He went in the back room and reappeared with a bowl of hot soup. “It will warm you up,” he said with a gentle smile.
What really warmed me up, though, was not the soup. It was his smile. His kindness made me feel cared for at a point in life when I was particularly lonely. It made me want to be as kind as the shopkeeper who had been kind to me. I had been quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness stop me from performing kindness.

"Well," the trainer said, "when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same rope to keep them from running away. At that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break tile rope. They believe it can still hold them, so they never try to break free."

    Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves. They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship. Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning.
    Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Kathy was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, "Don't worry, Grandma, nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see. It is going to bring both of us luck today, "And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.

5．阅读理解
    What's the most important thing for you in your life? Some say hard-work and others say knowledge, love and luck.
    There are 26 English letters. If you arrange them alphabetically （按字母表次序）and use numbers to represent （代表）each of them, for example，1 for a，2 for b, 3 for c，…you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, and meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give us a foil mark.
    What about money? It can't either. Money is only 72. Then what else? Don't worry. You can always find an answer to a problem, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude （态度）. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+ 9+20+21+4+5=100, a foil mark. Different attitudes lead to different kinds of life. Most times people hope for a better life.
