"Yes, we do, sir," answered the shopkeeper.

In 50 years of traveling, Colin McCorpuodale has visited every country in the world except three. And everywhere he goes, he sends himself a postcard. He always chooses a postcard with beautiful scenery (风景). Usually he writes just a short message to himself. However, he wrote an interesting story on his latest one, from the Malians Island.
Mr. McCorpuodale lives in London. On one of the walls in his room, you can see a large map of the world. There are hundreds of little red pins (大头针) stuck in it. “These pins mean a lot to me.” says Mr. McCorpuodale, “I follow the rule. I’m allowed to stick one in only if I’ve been in a place for more than 24 hours.”
Naturally, Mr. McCorpuodale has his favorite places. New Zealand, he describes as “a wonderful country”. About China, he says, “This is the country in the world which is completely different. There is no European influence.”

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were 35 warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired 36 I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so 37 that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He 38 over to another nearby dustbin and started looking 39 it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and 40 the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in 41 and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made 42 feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s 43 day!”
He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he 44 away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can 45 help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness 46 by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.
