I’d just returned from a beautiful autumn early-morning walk with my dog. At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys. When I discovered I didn’t have them, I decided to return to the paths we’d taken. I would surely spot them in plain sight.

My little dog ran in circles of excitement that we would do a repeat of our just-finished outing. I spent an hour looking, brushing aside tall grasses, but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace our steps, but without luck.

At home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the couch tired. At my age, one hiking is usually plenty! I began to make a list of the keys. The house key wasn’t that important as I had an extra. The mail key was a big deal because getting a new one takes a lot of time. I had a spare car key, but it was sensitive, and the key chain would be expensive to replace. But the iron heart made by my grandfather was precious beyond measure. For some reason, thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes. I blamed myself for losing the keys and not being more careful. In my head, I retraced my steps again and again but finally gave up.

That night, it turned colder and we had a snow storm. I enjoyed a comfort-food dinner, played soft music, and settled into a peaceful evening. It was peaceful until I heard my car alarm coming from the garage. I rushed to the car, inserted the key in the door and finally opened it, and then moved it in the ignition (引擎) until the alarm stopped. I felt red-faced as I imagined my next door neighbors being annoyed. I went back in the house but it started again. I turned it off, went back inside, and the alarm sounded again. I repeated the process.

Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell.

By keeping pressing the alarm button, they found my home.

Today, after finishing dinner in town, my husband and I were driving back home.As we pulled over, we saw a couple     1     (paint) their furniture.

I went inside our home,     2     (change), and then went back out again to ask our neighbors if they needed any help.While leaving my home, I was plagued (困扰) by thoughts of     3     (embarrass), denial, or     4     (receive) but looked down on skeptically.However, I gathered the courage to go down and ask     5     anyway!

Initially, the woman     6     (deny). Then, the man said, “Sure，” and he handed me a spray paint bottle.We got into some good conversations     7     painting with great effort.When we finished, I briefly chatted with them before leaving.

In the end, not only did I enjoy helping them, but also learned about my neighbors.    8     the way home, I must admit I couldn’t help but wonder     9     they might be thinking about me.It is tough to do a good deed for others and not expect that they will be thinking good about you.

Today’s experience taught me some     10     (value) lessons in my life! Hopefully, these lessons will help me continue my acts of kindness in future.
