In a recent airing of "Unsolved Mysteries", there was a young boy who was the victim of the  holocaust(大屠杀).He'd been    in a work camp for several years and somehow had managed to  survive the    of his imprisonment.
The story was of a boy - now in his sixties - and his quest to find an American soldier who had    a kindness to him by    some food. It might seem    ,but to this child, who had seen  nothing but     and inhumanity for as long as he could remember, it was a    that marked a  turning point in his life, for he had lost hope .When he was liberated by the American forces, he was dying. He,       needed food. As he was staggering along the road a young soldier    down from his tank and gave him some of his supplies. With this one act of generosity, a kind American had aroused the    again that there really was some good in the world. And the boy never    it. The boy later went to America, raised a family, became successful and worked hard to repay the    he had received with his own.
Actually there were so many similar acts of generosity that it would be almost impossible to know for sure who the soldier was.
We all have a choice: to create more light in the world. As Confucius    it over 2500 years ago, "It is better to light one small candle than to    the darkness."
As the story above so nicely    small gestures can often generate huge blessings. If we're constantly     looking for and doing kind acts, we will no doubt bring more joy into the world around us as well as into our own world!

In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies.

Did you know Saint George's Day?       , for many English people the answer to this question will be “No”. We get very excited about Saint Patrick's Day, and then completely         that we have our own national day! For me, it's    to remember the date as it's also my grandma's birthday.

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his        was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I        up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. We were walking light heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand,        a          neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, _    _ day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to         him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.
Several months ago I was        to catch a bus. As I put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter        , the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh that bus         five minutes ago. “ Dreams of head-cutting!
It’s not the         that makes someone angry,        it’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must        bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper       . A doctor advising a patient that she need an operation does it in a caring way. A boss        an employee he didn’t get the job        a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately, many people are not        of this. When youare tired        a long flight, has a hotel clerk          said that your room isn’t ready yet? It makes you as          want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming          with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming. Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.
