A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston．They walked without an appointment（预约）into the outer office of Harvard’s president．But they were       by his secretary and kept waiting．For hours，the secretary took no notice of them，     that the couple would finally become       and go away．But they didn’t．The secretary finally decided to disturb the president，though unwillingly．
A few minutes later，the president walked towards the couple with a       face．The lady told him，“We had a son that        Harvard for one year．He loved Harvard．He was happy here．But about a year ago，he was accidentally killed．My husband and I would like to       a memorial（纪念物）to him，somewhere on campus．”
The president wasn’t moved ．Instead，he was shocked．“Madam,” he said，“we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and     ．If we did，this place would look like a cemetory,” “Oh，no,” the lady explained quickly “We don’t want to put up a statue．We would like to give a building to Harvard．”The president rolled his eyes and      at the couple and then exclaimed，“A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? We have spent over $7 500 000 on the campus building at Harvard．” For a moment the lady was silent．The president was       ，because he could get rid of them now．Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly，“Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded．Since their offer was turned down，Mr．and Mrs．Stanford traveled to California where they founded the University that bears their         ，a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about．

I never thought I would have a lifechanging experience at WalMart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed，the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted，and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies，wearing glasses and a nice smile.I thought，well，he’s an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him.He greeted every customer before scanning the items.Sure，his words were the usual，“How’s it going？” But he did something different—he actually listened to people.Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was odd.I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit.After a while，you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back.I could say，“I just found out I have six months to live，” and someone would reply，“Have a great day！”
But that wasn’t the end.
He gave them the change，walked around the counter，and extended his right hand in an act of friendship.He looked the customers in the eyes.“I sure want to thank you for shopping here today，” he told them.“You have a great day.Byebye.”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.There were smiles and some sheepish grins.All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected.They would gather their things and walk out，smiling.
Of course，he did the same to me and I got to know his name，Marty.
Who was that guy？It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.

A．the cashier couldn’t work as fast as others

Carlos had been in New York for five months now, and he detested it. He would never forget the day when the plane landed. His parents had big smiles on their faces as they discussed the wonderful new life they would have in this great city. His older sister and brother looked in wonder and excitement at the buildings. Uncle Miguel and Aunt Esperanza thought of the good jobs they would get. Grandmother and Grandfather told him what a lucky boy he was to come to this wonderful city. But Carlos was lonely. The city looked big, cold and dirty to him.
They lived in an apartment in Manhattan. There were stores and cinemas close to their home. But Carlos didn’t want these things. He loved his home in the country in Puerto Rico; he loved the green fields, the hot sun, and the lovely beaches.
He didn’t want to go to school because it made him think of his friends at home. And he didn’t want to learn a new language that he could never describe the world as beautifully as his own.
He began to go the dock(码头), because this made him feel closer to Puerto Rico. He sat down and watched the ships. He would often find a man also sitting there looking at the sea. The man was Eric—a taxi driver who came there to escape from the noisy traffic.
Eric noticed the young boy and felt his sadness. One day he said, “Yes, it’s hard to leave your homeland. I remember when I left Norway 15 years ago. I know it’s hard to start a new life in a new country, but let’s face it. I did it, and you can do it, too.”
From then on the taxi driver and the young boy began to develop a deep friendship.
