 There are plenty of things we can do to help the people around us. For example,  if we find our friends in trouble, we can give them some    ; If our neighbor is busy   in the garden, let's give him a hand; If we see an old man on a  bus, we should ask him to take our seat. Actually, when we help others, we're helping  Helping others makes us feel happy because we know we are doing something right. Sometimes we can even make friends and get experiences  by helping others.

    An old carpenter(木匠) was ready to retire. His boss was  1  to see the good worker go. He asked the carpenter 2 he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes, 3his mind was not on his work any more.

 He used poor materials and worked on the house 4 . When the carpenter finished his work, the boss 5  the front-door key to him, "This is your house," he said, "A  6for you." 

    What a surprise! What a 7! If he had known he was building his 8 house, he would have done it differently. Now he had to live in the house he had poorly built.

9 it is with us. Sometimes we build our 10 carelessly. At important points we do not try our best. Then with a shame we look at the situation we have  11 . We find that we are now living in the house we have poorly built. But we don't have a12to make it all over again.

    Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
    After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
    “It's not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
    “Oh, I'm in no hurry,” she said. “I'm on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
     For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
    Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. In the early morning, she suddenly said,” I'm tired. Let's go now.”
    We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
    “How much do I pay you?” she asked.
    “Nothing.” I said.
    “You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,”I answered.
     Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug(拥抱). She held on me and said, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

Then, suddenly he found the old gardener was blind. He was very _________ about this and asked, “You can't see these flowers. Why are you busy taking care of them every day?”

       The old man smiled and said, “I can tell you some reasons  . First, I was a gardener when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can't see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last one, that's you.”

    In your life, there are a lot of people around you. They are your relatives, neighbors, friends or classmates. Sometimes you get along well with them, but sometimes don't. What can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with him. But it's not a good idea. You'd better forget all this and forgive (宽恕) him.

    Maybe it's not easy for you to do that, but it's possible. Please remember: Keep a good mood, and you will keep healthy. Staying angry with others, in fact, means letting others' mistakes treat yourself unfairly.

    How can you forgive others?

    First, think of something pleasant and try to get yourself happy.

    Second, don't wait others to say sorry to you. If anyone hurts you, he won't say sorry to you. He may just want to hurt you or just don't see things the same way.

    Third, try to see things in others' shoes. You can understand their minds better and make yourself a little happier.

    At last, try to know yourself very well. Whose mistakes caused that, yours or others'? If it's your fault (错误), try to say sorry to them. If it isn't, smile at the thing.

    "I'm happy because I can help others." said the lame duck.

    So the bird saw it happiness is a love in the heart.

    The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn't know the reason. So it asked the little flower, "You're going to die. Why are you still so happy?"

    "Because my dream will come true," said the little flower.

    "What is your dream?"

    "To produce sweet fruit."

    The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.

    So the little bird no more looked for happiness because it had seen the truth happiness is not in the faraway place but in your own heart. You are the maker of your own happiness.

    When did you last say "I love you" to your father? If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 18.

    Generally compared to a mother's gentle love, a father represents (代表) qualities like independence (独立), confidence, courage and adventure.

    Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control their feelings.

    For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. "Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and cooperating（合作）," Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.

    US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. "You don't try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick (砖) every day. And soon you have a wall," he said on TV show Charlie Rose (《查理·罗斯访谈录》).

    "One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters," British poet George Herbert (1593-1632) once said. Do you agree?

For a long time, a boy wondered why his friend was always the first in the class, whereas he could only rank the 21st. At home, he asked his mom, "Am I more stupid than other kids? How can I always fall behind? I just can't come up with an answer." His mom was aware that her son's selfrespect(自尊心) had been hurt by the ranking system, but she didn't know what to say to help him.

She tended to say that intelligence was different and that her son's friend was really smarter. But that would upset her son.

The boy and his friend went to high school that year, but no matter how hard he tried, his friend still outdid him. But the boy's mom was proud of him for his hard work. It was around this time that she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside. During the trip, she at last found an answer for him.

Today, the boy no longer cares about the ranking. He doesn't have to, for he himself is now the top of the class — at the top national university. When invited to speak in his old high school, he mentioned a valuable childhood experience, "Once, during a trip to the seaside, my mother and I were lying on the beach. She pointed to the sea and said to me, 'Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there? When a wave comes near, the little birds rise quickly. The clumsy(笨拙的) seagulls are far slower and have to struggle to get away from the wave. But these clumsy seagulls have the biggest, strongest wings, which allow them to travel the farthest. When the season changes, they leave for foreign shores, leaving the little birds behind. Son, I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls.'"

    An old gentleman who lives a few doors away from me can always be seen with a bag. He goes out by himself and picks up plastic bottles, plastic bags and pieces of paper everywhere. He does it all carefully and never complains.

    The children in the nearby school are probably responsible for some of that litter. "There will be some time when they know better," he said. "It's just not yet. So, I'll do it for them.”

    Well, this morning I was out walking my neighbour's dog when I saw another neighbour, a much younger man, doing the same thing! He had his two little sons with him and they were having good fun trying to pick up the litter.

    "What a good job you are doing," I said to him. "Well, an older fellow in our street does this," he said. "And my friend and I thought it wasn't fair that he had to

do it all the time, so now we take turns."

    Not only was he taking a turn, not only did he have a friend join in as well, but he was passing on the lesson to the next generation!

    By the time I had returned the dog to my neighbour, I looked again and his children's friends had joined in!

    This man was teaching a whole group of young children to keep their own street clean. An older man had set an example for him and now he was passing it on-the next generation(一代) is doing what he did!
