Mary: Well, it’s a lovely room. It’s quite a nice size, but I don’t like green paint very much. Would be all right if I painted the walls a different color?
White: Yes, that’s fine, as long as you don’t paint them a very dark color. One of my renters (paint) them black a few years ago. That was terrible.
Mary: Is there anything I know?
White: Well, I don’t allow cats (go) upstairs at all.
Mary: Oh? Not at all?
White: No, (absolute) not. I don’t like animals and I don’t allow smoking in bedrooms.
Mary: Oh, no, no. I agree that. I don’t smoke anywhere. Can I use the kitchen if I want to
something?
White: Yes, but only before 7 o’clock in the evening. And I don’t allow people to stick pictures on the walls. You know when you take the pictures away, marks (leave) on the walls.
Mary: OK. I see.
White: And one thing if you don’t mind. I don’t want any big noisy parties,
only two or three friends at the same time, please.
Mary: Oh, right. I will do that. Well, it sounds fair. Thank you very much.
One(rain) night I was driving along a lonely highway

(splash) him as I went by.
He misunderstood,(think) I was offering a ride and ran towards my car. He was very tall, had a full beard and he scared me. I stepped on the gas pedal to leave
(quick), and I saw the look of total despair in his eyes.
Suddenly, all fear was (go) and I backed up and unlocked my car door, praying this was not the
(big) mistake in my life but somehow knowing it would be okay.
The man was a plumber（水暖工人）, truck had got stuck in the mud. He
(walk) for miles. No one would pick him up and his wife was in the hospital in labour（分娩） with their first child!
He had cried at the thought that he might not be there.
We(arrive) at the hospital moments before his son was born.

I have found that spreading kindness is not always about you do for someone, but it can also be what you say. One day I was standing in line at the gas station. Ahead of me were
other people.
of them had a smile on their face and they all seemed to be in a hurry .After the cold ,snowy winter, we were having a warm, sunny day. I wanted to cheer them up, so I spoke up and said, “I don’ t know
one of you ordered this fantastic day for us, but l want to say I really appreciate
and thank you .”After that, the five of us smiled
we started talking to each other. What I had said made
big difference to everyone’s day. You can see that it is much easier to spread kindness
words.
