Many people do good things to help others. Kevin, an office worker, had a special plan—doing 143 good things in 40 days. Why 143? The number 143 has a special meaning to Kevin. It is another way of “I love you”. Each number stands for the number of letters in each word. The number “1” stands for “I”, “4” stands for “love” and “3” stands for “you”.
Months ago, Kevin did his first good thing in the plan. He cleaned up an open area in the city. “It had a lot of tall grass. Cars ran on it over and over again,” said Kevin. “Then I cut the grass down.” Since then (从那时起), Kevin has cut grass for cars. He has also handed out free food, such as pizza and sandwiches, to people along the way.
One day, Kevin collected money for children disease research (研究). He ended the day by helping an elderly man in the rain. He drove the man home.
“The whole idea is to do 143 good things. But it is really spreading (传播) love and kindness in the whole community,” said Kevin. “I want more people to join me. I hope that there will be a ripple effect. Let’s start some ripples and see how far they can go.”

【推荐1】Hi, I’m Jack. I really want to share an unforgettable experience with you.
Last month, our school organized a labor (劳动) practice activity in a nearby community. I joined in this meaningful activity with great excitement.
On the day of the activity, we arrived at the community early in the morning. Our task was to help clean up the public areas, plant some flowers and paint walls in several buildings. At first, I felt a bit nervous because I had never done such manual (体力的) work before. However, with the help of the teachers and community workers, I quickly learned how to use the tools properly and started to work.
The most difficult part for me was painting the walls. It required a lot of attention and patience. After a few hours, my arms were sore, and I felt too tired. But looking at the freshly painted wall, I couldn’t help feeling proud of myself.
