The world needs more people who are truly kind and caring. Yesterday it was about 11:00 p.m. _36_ my telephone rang. The number was that of a Best Western Hotel. _37_ I don’t pay attention to this type of call. _38_, this time, for some reason, I went ahead and answered it.
The man on the _39_ end asked if I knew Samuel K., my 91-year-old grandfather. I didn’t _40_ why I was the one he had called. The caller went on to tell me that I was the only _41_ listed in my grandpa’s phone book.
The _42_, Mr. Mason, was the manager of the hotel at which my grandpa had shown up, wanting to rent a room. The _43_ was that my grandpa had no money with him. He was _44_. He had been going _45_ else but had taken the wrong bus and _46_ 100 miles from home. My grandpa just wanted me to tell Mr. Mason that he was a(n) _47_ guy and would pay the money once he got home.
The manager did all he could to help my grandpa, since he didn’t want to _48_ my grandpa, and wanted him to spend a _49_ night. Not only did he take the time to _50_ me, but he also charged just $39 to let my grandpa _51_ safely and comfortably overnight. The rooms in that _52_ normally go for about $140! And then the staff there all _53_ him until my uncle could drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
This is just one more _54_ to show that there are still good people out there. Everywhere you go, you can find someone who _55_ . Thanks, Mr. Mason!

When Mary was 14 years old, her mother and father told her that they were no 22 going to buy her clothes.

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 41 with you.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high way at 85 mph 42 we realized we were 43 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $ 20 bill. I was so 44 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 45 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.
46 , I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 47 I had not actually handed my money to the cashier. I had just 48 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 49 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 50 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I
51 to forgive myself the pleasure of an ice cream for 52 that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change 53 the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 54 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 55 of the “pizza incident,” I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”
I have learned two things from this 56 . Maybe I was a fool for 57 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 58 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 59 up with you.
This reflects the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand times, a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that accident at least a thousand times. If I had been a 60 and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

I was coaching girls' track in Iowa and there was a young discus（铁饼）thrower on the team with 21 potential（潜力）. Here goes her story.
At the end of our training 22 the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she 23 come to the school on Sunday for a little 24 training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and 25 missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event, 26 that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had 27 been between 106’1” and 110’10”.
Something began to 28 me. Why couldn't Lucy 29 to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier（心理的障碍） 30 a physical one. I decided to try something 31 . I made up my mind to 32 to Lucy.
On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to 33 ?” She began to throw again, but 34 were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the 35 one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is 36 ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in 37 .
The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy 38 with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had 39 thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.
Sometimes we 40 our own barriers in our mind. So learn to take control of your mind.
