I lay there buried alive under our house when the bomb hit our city. The great 21 started by the bomb came nearer and nearer to us as workers tried to  22  us. “Hurry!” they cried to one another as the flames (火焰) came nearer. At last they reached us and  23 me and my mother out from under everything  24  the flames reached us.

Later, as I thought of the pilot of the plane that 25 the bomb on our city, I cried, “I hate him. I hate him.” The people with marked faces from the  26 of the bomb made me cry, “I hate him.” I saw people suffering (遭受) a terrible,  27 death. Again and again I cried as I saw these people, “I hate him!”

Some time later, that man appeared in a meeting I  28 .As I looked at him, I  29  him very much. Then I listened to what he told us of his  30  the day when he dropped the bomb on our city. I heard him say, “When I flew over the city  31  we dropped the bomb, I cried, ‘Oh, God, what have I    32  ’.” I could see that he found it  33  to speak of that day.

As this happened I suddenly  34  my hatred (仇恨) of him was  35 . It only made me unhappy also. As I did this, it was as if a heavy load (負(fù)擔(dān))  36  my shoulders. Then I decided to  37 him. I did so and my life was  38  .

I now help those who suffer from  39  other people. I try to help them to  40  everyone, as I am now able to do.

If you want your life to stand for peace and kindness, it’s helpful to do kind, peaceful things. One of my  16 ways to do this is by developing my own 17 actions. These little acts of kindness are  18  to be of service and reminders of how good it feels to be  19  and helpful.
We live in a rural area of the San Francisco Bay Area. Most of what we see is beauty and 20  .One of the exceptions to the beauty is the  21 that some people throw out of their windows as they are  22 on the rural roads. One of the few drawbacks to  23  the mountainous area is that public services, such as litter collection, are less  24  than those are closer to the city.
　  A helping action that I practice  25  with my two children is picking up litter in our surrounding area. We' ve become so  26  to doing this that my daughters will often say to me in exciting  27 , "There' s some litter, Daddy, stop the  28  !" And if we have time, we will often pull over and pick it up. It may seem  29  , but we actually enjoy it. We pick up litter in parks, on sidewalks, practically  30 . Once I even saw a complete stranger picking up litter close to  31  we live. He smiled at me and said, "I saw you doing it, and it seemed like a good       32 ."
Picking up litter is only one of an  33  supply of possible helping actions. You might like holding a door open for people,  34  lonely elderly people in nursing homes, or removing snow off someone else' s driveway. Perhaps you might  35  something that seems effortless yet helpful. It' s fun, personally rewarding, and setting a good example. Everyone wins.
