One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped 　48 , she dropped other bags. He came to help her.“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”She said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. These were 　49 kind words he had ever heard. He watched her 　50 she went far away, and he whistled（吹口哨）to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.

“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low 　51 he said to his dog,“You are a nice little dog!”Tige raised 　52 ears as if（似乎）it understood.

“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!”he said,“Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.”Tige waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw 　53 but a dirty boy. He washed his face 　54 . Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed (震惊). From then on, he had a new life.

After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said,“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed (种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. 　55 a great power it has!” If you show kindness to others, you will be an able man.

One day my mother 　41 an advertisement for a race in a newspaper. “Would you be 　42 in taking part in this race ? ” she asked me, pointing to the advertisement.

　 “Yes, of course.” I answered.

　　 I ____43___ the next few days practicing for my big race. My sister set up a table in the backyard so she could offer me water and 　44　 me.

　　 On the day of the race, just before the race , my father said to me , “ Don’t 　 45　 up all your energy(能量)at the beginning of the race. You need to have energy ___46____ you can run much faster at the end. ”

　 The race ____47___ . Following Dad’ s words, I didn’t run as fast as I could. Then the other runners started 　 48　 me, which made me feel nervous. I began to feel tired, and I started slowing down and breathing __49__ .

　 Just at that moment I heard, “ __50___, Kelly! You can do it ! Don’t give up . keep running!” Out of the comer of my eye I saw Dad running beside me around the outside or the track .

　 I took a deep breath and tried my best to 　51　 on running. I didn’t win the race. I came fifth, but I 　 52　 like a winner. I tried my best, and I hadn’t given up.

　 Later, as I thought about the race, I felt thankful that my dad had _53__ left my side. He always encourages(鼓励) me when I __54___ giving up. He runs along side me through my life. I’ll remember my dad’s words forever, “Never give up. You can be a winner even if you 　55 .”

American people have the habit of saying “Thank you” when something kind is done for them or something polite is said to them, no matter how easy the thing is. This habit is learned by people of many　 46　 countries.

　 You should say “Thank you” when someone　 47　 you the salt on the table, when someone steps aside to let you　 48　 in a corridor (走廊), when someone　 49　 ahead of you keeps the door open　 50　 you, when someone says your work is well　 51　 or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is　 52　 not only between strangers or new friends, but also between old friends, parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. Parents often tell　 53　 children that they should say “Thank you” in answering to a kind word or act when they are only four　 54　 five years old. Perhaps that’s 　 55　 almost everyone has got this habit.
