Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.
When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn"t get on well with others. People always laughed
at him. No one showed kindness to him.
His only friend was a dog named Tiger. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was
not polite to it. He didn"t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one"s heart like a knife.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags
dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. "Thank
you, dear! You are a nice little boy!" she said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until
she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨) to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.
"Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!" he repeated (重复) the woman"s words. Then in a low voice
he said them to his dog! Tiger raised its ears as if it understood.
"Unum! Even a dog likes it!" he said, "Well, Tiger, I won"t say unkind words to you any more." Tiger
waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw a clean nice boy. He was
amazed (惊奇). From then on, he had a new life.
After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the
very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed (种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about
kindness. What a great power (力量) it has!"

C. he wanted to talk to his dog

interest in their lessons.
When a new principal (校长) came to work at the school, he decided to do something about Class 5A.

where it was. He could hear them. They were making a terrible noise.
He stood outside the classroom for a few moments and looked inside through the window. He was
disgusted (感到厌恶的) by what he saw.
Some boys were fighting. Others were throwing things at one another. No one was doing any work.
The principal had experienced badly behaved classes before. He knew what to do. He would go into
the classroom, take hold of the biggest boy in the class and punish him. This would be an example to the
others.
He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. The students paid no attention to him.
"Silence!" he shouted at the top of his voice.
This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Quickly he walked up to the
oldest-looking boy in the room. He was also the noisiest boy in the room and had been shouting at the others
at the top of his voice.
He took hold of him by the ear and pulled him to the front of the class.
"I"m going to punish you as an example to the others," he said. "Now go to my office and wait for me."
Then he turned to the class and gave them a lecture about how they should behave in school.

any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So
I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly
reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn"t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth-so I
decided that my way must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the
shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair.
How much do you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "I"ll give you twenty pounds."
"It"s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it"s nothing."
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.
"Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I"ll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You"ve just
sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I"ve changed my mind. I"m sorry, I"ll give you twenty-seven
pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want.
You want me to repair your chair." "You"re right," I said. And what would you have done if I had walked
in and said, "Would you mend this chair for me?" "I wouldn"t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don"t do
repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I"ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?"
