I live in an apartment building where there are several elderly people. There is an old neighbour of mine who is always willing to and go out of his way to help anyone in need.
A few weeks ago, I was taking a large amount of out. This neighbour saw me and stopped to help me as he was taking out his own rubbish. However, after he dumped his rubbish out of the bag, he his rubbish bag.
“Why don’t you throw it away?” I asked him.
He replied that he had been using the rubbish bag for a few months because he really didn’t have extra money to buy new ones. This immediately made me tear up. I thought that having rubbish bags was really .
So I started working out a(n) . I went to every apartment in the building and told them what was going on. I asked each household if they could at least one rubbish bag. I got almost 100 bags. I then put them into a gift basket and left an anonymous (匿名的) saying that they were from his grateful neighbours.
A few days later, he told me about the rubbish bags that he . I, of course, did not tell him they came from. Then, later that afternoon, I came home and found this very neighbour using all those rubbish bags to help another neighbour move out!

As a child，I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others．
I still remember it was an early autumn．Some （1） started to turn yellow and the weather became cool．One day，as I was getting ready for school，my mother carelessly handed me my father's vest（背心）instead of （2） ．At that time，I was getting to have a （3） size than my father，so when I put on the vest，I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe! I realized that it was a small mistake which was（4） by my mother，but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry．My mother said sorry with a smile，but I shouted at her （5） thinking much． I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it．I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house （6） my mother could stop me．
Later，my mother shared her bad feelings with my father，"See what your son has done．"Instead of saying he would scold （责备）or beat me，my father （7） asked my mother to mend the vest． Later when my mother told me about my father's response（反应），I felt terribly sorry for my bad behavior（行为）．My father's gentle kindness taught me a lesson which I would （8） forget．
On that day，I decided not to let anger （9） me any longer． Of course，there are times when I am angry． However，whenever that happens，I will try to remember my father's （10） ．It always reminds（提醒）me to think about others' feelings when I get angry．

I had nothing for breakfast that morning． I was so （1） that I could hear my stomach growling（咕咕叫）when Mr． Katter was lecturing on Asia history． So when the bell rang， I rushed to the dining hall at once． Minutes later， I stood in front of the counter（收银台）， holding a tray（托盘） full of food．
"Three dollars，" the lunch lady told me． I reached my hand into my （2） and felt nothing． The schoolbag was empty． I searched again． Still nothing． I was almost certain I put three bills in it last night． I put the schoolbag on the floor to search for the money again． As I finally （3） the money wasn't there， I could feel the（4） and fear washing over me．
