I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to 51 the problem. It certainly wasn’t 52 doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled 53 from behind me. A man got out and offered to 54 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became 55 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But 56 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the 57 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had 58 me.
Then, without 59 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I 60 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much 61 when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my 62 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you 63 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he 64 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he 65 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they 66 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my 67 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same 68 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I 69 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a 70 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

Although the rest of the family members were American, the 26 of the Japanese family had never been naturalized.

It was 28 each family had learned in church—Love the neighbor as thyself. “You would do 29 for us, ” he told his Japanese friend.
It was not long before the Japanese 30 was transported to a poor landscape in Granada, Colorado. The relocation center consisted of tar-paper-roofed barracks (兵营) 31 by barbed wire and armed guards.

35 , the Japanese family packed up and 36 a train. They were going home.
What would they find? The family was 37 at the train station by their neighbors, and when they got to their home, the whole Japanese family stared.. There was the nursery, complete, clean and shining in the sunlight, neat, prosperous and healthy.
So was the balance of the bank passbook 38 to the Japanese father. And the house was 39 as clean and welcoming as the nursery.

It was a bitter, 36 evening in northern Virginia. The old man’s beard was 37 by winter’s frost (霜)while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless.

As 39 rider drew near where the old man sat, the old man 40 the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side of the river?”
Reining(勒住) his horse, the rider replied, “Sure thing.” Seeing the old man unable to 41 his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman helped the old man onto the horse and took him to his 42 . On the way, the horseman said: “Sir, I notice that you let several other riders pass by. I'm 43 why, on such a bitter winter night, you would wait and ask the last rider.”
