In her grandparents’ old house, Maya discovered an old family calendar, with each page filled out carefully. On June 6, 1892: “Helped Mr. Thompson repair his house.” On November 14, 1907: “________ my time at an old people’s home.”

________, she asked her grandmother about it.

“That is the tradition of our family.” her grandmother explained. “Every day, for generations, we complete one kind act and take it down. No matter how ________ it is.”

Maya was interested. “Why?”

Her grandmother smiled, “It is a belief that through continuous kind actions, we can create a life of ________. Every day, we find a moment of light through offering help to others, even when the world around us is dark.

With admiration, Maya decided to keep the tradition. Every night, she would record her act for the day. As the years went by, Maya’s kind act ________, from comforting a worried stranger on the bus to organizing community clean-ups.

One day, as she sat at a cafe, a young woman came to her.

“Are you Maya?”she asked ________. Maya nodded, feeling confused.

The woman went on, “Years ago, you ________ me for free when my family couldn’t afford lessons. Because of you, I graduated top of my class. Today I run an organization providing help for students from poor families.” Maya realized her actions were creating ripples (涟漪) in ways she had never imagined.

The calendar became a community legend. Inspired by Maya, the town started a “Calendar Day”, wishing everyone to do good.

When Maya was old, she often sat with her grandchildren, turning the filled pages. “This was ________ your grandpa and I met. I helped him find his lost dog.”

One day, her oldest grandchild, Sophie, looked up from the calendar. “I want to ________ this, Grandma.” Maya handed the calendar over. She knew the tradition would live on. Years after Maya passed, the town built a statue in her honor, with the words on its base: In memory of Maya and the generations before her who believed in the power of everyday ________.

After that day, Jim started collecting old tires. He first cleaned them and     3     their tops. Next, he covered the holes in their bottoms with boards. The artist then painted each tire     4     bright colors.

Have you ever heard of a famous charity (慈善机构) called Operation Smile? Let me tell you something about it.

Operation Smile is an important i    1     children’s medical charity, working for children around the world born with facial deformities (畸形). It was started by a doctor and his wife. In 1982, together with some volunteers, they went to Philippines. They w    2     to help those children with cleft lip and cleft palate (唇腭裂). It was very difficult for them to eat and drink. These volunteers worked very     3     (hard). But they worried that they could not continue with their work, because they were short of m    4    . Then they decided to start a charity so that they could help the children in need. They called it Operation Smile.

Operation Smile mobilizes (动员) a world of kind hearts to heal children’s smiles and to make a chance across the globe. The charity manages     5     (work) in over twenty developing countries and has helped over 10,000 kids who have problems with their     6     (mouth). Operation Smile     7     (win) many prizes for its work so far. In 1999 they even started a special event called “The World Journey of Hope”.

On the other hand, Operation Smile trains local doctors and nurses in developing countries so that they can continue     8     (help) children when Operation Smile has left. As to the children with much more serious problems, they will send them to America for     9     (far) treatment (治疗).

There are a lot of children who need your help. We hope that more people     10     (join) us to help them. Please show your kindness to the needy children now. You can send your donation to Operation Smile at local banks. Because of you, many children can get the precious gift of smile.

7 . In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. So I wasn’t ________ when one evening my mother said she had taken on a new project.

“I am going to telephone seniors (老年人),” said my mother. “Every ________? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I ________.” I was fifteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to ________. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk all the time on the phone. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath.” I said.

My attitude (态度) didn’t stop my mother’s love for the project. That evening, I listened as she ________ the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “________ do you care whether (是否) she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother said, “I’m the ________ person she talked to today.”

It took me more than thirty years to ________ understand the meaning of my mother’s words. Now, as my mother is nearly eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly ________ she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the fridge. I ________ that my mother’s calls were lifelines, which made sure housebound seniors to keep in touch with the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.

9 . My heart is filled with love. Recently, I’m so thankful for the support of a very dear friend of mine. With his help, I can achieve my dream of making a kind act. It b    1     me more power in my life.

We live in a small African city. As you know, many people there live in a poor life and it’s h    2     for them to find jobs. I’ve been looking forward to o    3     a soup kitchen for many years. I hope to help the l    4     people in need. My friend helps me create a web page c    5     Sunshine. On it, we usually share our kind activities. These days, I’m making hearty food while my friend is handing out clothes. You know there are always so many homeless people l    6     on the streets, which shocks me a lot.

We want to invite more people to j    7     us. The act of love by giving has touched my heart greatly. Sometimes I feel very t    8     after working hard for a whole day, but I still go on with the love activities. B    9     of the project, my life becomes so m    10    . I know what I’m doing now may make a difference to some people’s life.

Recently, a short video from Chongqing has become hot on the Internet. In the video, a bus is moving on the road in a v    1    . When the driver notices a schoolbag hanging outside the d     2     of an old house, he stops and honks (按喇叭). Soon, a boy rushes outside, carries the schoolbag and gets on the bus.

The bus driver is Cheng Lin. He drives from Luotian to Wuqiao South Station for many years. There are many left-behind children a    3     the route (路线)—they go to school in the city on Sundays and come back on Fridays. Mr Cheng knows the i    4     of his role on their way to and from school, so he pays a lot of attention to them.

The boy is a student of Grade 9 who goes to school by himself. He lives with his grandmother b    5     his parents work in another city and seldom come back. Mr Cheng cares about him a lot. They have d    6     a secret code (代码). If the boy needs to take the bus, he will h    7     his schoolbag at the door. When Mr Cheng sees it, he will honk.

The boy’s parents were deeply moved by the driver’s kindness when they saw the video. “We are glad to see s    8     is taking care of our child. We are very thankful to Mr Cheng,” said the father.

Mr Cheng’s story is well-known and he is p    9     as a good driver. He says it’s just a little thing and that he will c    10     doing it.
