My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body． Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer．
When I was younger， I thought sound was very important to us as humans． So I said， "My ears， Mommy．" She said， "No， many people are deaf． But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon．"
Several years had passed before she asked me again， Since making my first try， I had thought over the correct answer． So this time I told her， "Mommy， sight（视力） is very important to everybody， so it must be our eyes．" She looked at me and told me． "You are learning fast， but the answer is not correct because there are many people who can't see．"
Over the years， Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was， "No， but you are getting smarter every year， my boy．"
Then last year， my grandpa died． Everybody was hurt． Everybody was crying at the funeral （葬礼）． My mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to grandpa． She asked me， "Do you know the most important body part yet， my dear？"
I was shocked when she asked me this now． I always thought this was a game between her and me． She saw the confusion （团惑） on my face and told me， "This question is very important． It shows that you have really lived your life．" I saw her eyes in tears．
She said， "My dear， the most important body part is your shoulder．"
I asked， "Is it because it holds up（抬起） your head ？"
She replied， "No， it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry． Everybody requires a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life， my dear． I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you require it．"

Recently， my husband and I had the chance to do something good for two people who were complete strangers to us． It made us feel so good to be able to do it that I thought I should share， We were traveling to Thailand on New Year's Day with our family． Since I travel a lot for work， we have had enough flying miles to become the VIP （very important person．） of the flight to enjoy first class（头等舱） seats．
As we were sitting in the very first two seats in the first row of first class waiting for the plane to take off， I heard one of the flight attendants （航班服务员） telling the others that there was a young couple sitting in the back of the plane that had just been married several days before and were going on their honeymoon（蜜月）． They had ordered their flight eight months before but， for some reason， had not been able to get seats together． No one else on the plane wanted to move and the bride（新娘） was in tears．
I turned to my husband and told him what I heard． We agreed without thinking twice and I called the flight attendant over to tell her that we would be happy to give up our seats for this young couple， The flight attendant seemed shocked and amazed and said． "Really？ Are you sure？"
We said． "Sure!"
So， we moved to the back of the plane， I was in a middle seat in the back part and my husband，who is 63， in the window seat of the last row of the plane．
The flight attendants were very thankful for what we had done and cared for us carefully even though we were no longer sitting in first class， and we both made friends with the people sitting around us and had a great flight． I had to go back to the front of the plane to get a forgotten object back during the flight and noticed that the young couple were sitting very close together， happily sipping champagne （品尝香槟）．
It really made my New Year to get on to such a wonderful start!
