A man came to the USA from another country. After     1    (settle) down at an island, he went into a cafeteria to get something     2    (eat). He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order, but nobody did.     3    (final) a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and told him     4     the cafeteria worked.

“Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At     5     other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay. ”

“I was     6    (surprise) how everything worked in the USA,” the man told his friend. “Life’s a cafeteria there. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success,     7     you will never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it     8    (you).”

You can’t change the inevitable. The only thing you can do     9    (be) to control your attitude. Once you reach that point in life,     10    (happy) and satisfaction can’t be too far away.

Murphy     1     (lose) her parents in her early 20s. Two years ago, she was struggling with finding happiness in her career. During walks     2     the beach, she would talk to her parents in her head,     3     (seek) guidance about her career choices. “Since they weren’t with me physically, I would ask for little signs in the form of heart shaped rocks. When I would find one, I would feel     4     (connect)to something outside of myself.” These small treasures made her feel like she wasn’t alone.

Once, during a trip, Murphy was moved by the way tiny courtesies (礼貌) like a smile made her feel more comfortable in an     5     (familiar) country. She came back with the understanding that small acts of kindness could have a big impact.

One day, while walking on the beach, she suddenly came up with an idea of writing some encouraging    6     (message) on rocks. So, she did it. She soon learned her small action was already making ripples (涟漪). That night a friend texted her a picture of a rock and said, “Was this you?” She had suspected Murphy     7     she knew Murphy walked along that beach. Murphy     8     (touch) by the way her friend said finding that rock had made her day.

Murphy became hooked on the idea that she could spread happiness through something as simple as a rock with a message on it. She started leaving rocks in other places. With these rocks, she left a small sign encouraging others     9     (leave) a kindness rock somewhere else   “One rock, one person,” Murphy explains. “If a message hits a person at the right time, or they join, it’s like a huge connection. It’s    10     our world needs right now.”
