Mom and Dad went back home from vacation a day earlier as expected,and they couldn't wait to surprise their two sons.However,what disappointed them greatly was that the house was in total（完全的）mess,with dirty dishes in the sink and garbages lying everywhere.What was worse,their dog Spot looked like he was starving.Mom and Dad were sure Daniel,which had been left in charge of the house,was to blame.Before Daniel can explain,Dad shouted angry at him.He said that such behavior should not be tolerated,but Mom added that Daniel could not be trust.Daniel felt so upset that he ran into his room.“Why didn't they ask me what had happened?Didn't I deserve a chance to defend for myself?I hate them!”Daniel thought to herself.

My local supermarket is always busy．The first parking space I spotted was convenient, but I’d noticed a woman in an old car circling for a while．I let her have it．On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot — it was a tight fit.

In record time I’d made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air．In a rush of good spirits, I emptied my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse (倒車) into a parking space.

Just as I spotted my car, I saw the woman I’d let have my car spot earlier．I smiled and wished her a pleasant day.

As I got back into my car, I spotted the same lady looking in at me．“ Hello,” she said, hesitantly (猶豫地)．“ This might sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother’s things off at the charity bins.” I looked quickly at the orange bins in the corner of the parking lot, confused．“ I saw you helping those people, and you seemed so happy．My mom had a dress just like that.”

She looked at me meaningfully．I smiled at her in encouragement, hoping she wouldn’t notice that the dress she was admiring was now full of holes．“ I was going to give these away, but you are just so much like her.” She passed a box in through the window．Shocked, unthinking, I took it automatically (無意識地)．“ I think she would like you to have it.” She smiled and walked away.

After a pause, I opened the box．Inside was a beautiful gold necklace．It was the nicest gift I’d ever received, and it was from a complete stranger.

Later, I thought back on the day．I didn’t feel the usual sense of exhaustion．The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.

Dear Bruce,

I’m very excited to learn from that you will start an English magazine called New Babel. That sounds great and I definitely agree with you on that.

Some of the columns mention in the letter are really my cup of tea. “Cultural Express” gives us better understanding of the world. Unless people from different parts of the world have different value, it’s necessary to learn from each other. Apart from that, “Thoughts” is pretty good for us Chinese students to open our minds and practice their critical thinking. “Entertainment” is amazing! The stories about those popular celebrities are so attractively that we absolutely can’t miss this part. As is often the case, teenagers were fond of popular things.

Well, I can’t list less. I really look forward to read this magazine.

Yours,

Thomas
