11、t was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fadeor so we thought, as she didnt mention it again. We bought the latest fashionable Baby Sitters Club dolls, a
12、 holiday dress and some beautiful story books. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she proudly announced that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.” It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts. We could only think
13、of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” Her dad asked. The theory, of course, being that since that is a high-ticket item and she is “such a big girl”, it would be much
14、better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. Three hours later, on Christmas morning, we were excited for Rose to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she op
15、ened it and read the note aloud. She looked at me and then at her dad and said, “so does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” 页 4 第 Beaming, I said, “Yes.” Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy
16、made me. Id rather keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet! 21. Roses parents didnt buy her the bike she wanted in two months because _. A. they had bought many other wonderful things for her B. they thought she had
17、 changed her mind C. they didnt have time to do any shopping D. they decided to make one for her 22. Why did Dad make the clay bicycle? A. He thought Rose was too young for a real bike. B.

19、 to kids who otherwise wouldnt have them. Load bags with canned foods for the hungry. Make donations to those who need it. This time of year, it seems, we focus more on doing good and being good. Certainly, thats not a bad thing. But, is all that kindness selfish? Researchers at the University of Ca
20、lifornia, Beckley say that kindness, and related qualities like sympathy and compassion are actually a form of self preservation. Those who give more, get more. The most generous among us have greater influence and are more popular. Whereas, the unkind and unhelpful are more likely to be cast adrift
21、 from us. After all, it stands to reason, that if Im paddling your lifeboat, youll keep me afloat a little longer. So, is kindness motivated by our real concern for others or are we do-gooders because it makes us look good and shores up our position in the ecosystem? Probably both. Most of us really
22、 enjoy helping others. It makes us 页 5 第 feel good, connected, happy and that makes for a healthier more satisfying life. But, it doesnt hurt that we also receive other rewardsstatus, cooperation, influencethat will help us survive and become successful. Despite all the benefits, I tend most often t
23、oward kindness only when its convenient. That doesnt mean I have bad manners. I say my pleases and thank-yous. I hold the door open for passengers. But, I could be kinder, more often. Sometimes Im stopped from doing good by just how to do it. Sometimes, Im just not thinking enough about others to re
24、cognize the need. Sometimes, Im plain, old selfish. Im working to be more aware of those around me. To slow down and move with patience and purpose on the freeway. To be more kind. My acts of kindness arent complex or flashyIm not the type. They arent expensiveIm too cheap. But those things arent re
25、quired. You dont have to feel guilty that your kind gesture wasnt as big as say, Oprah building a school in Africa. Kindness can be a small, simple act and still make an extremely large impact. Notice a need and then consciously offer a bit of yourself. 24. What do researchers at the University of C

32、programs theyre enthusiastic about. Sports lovers get placed in the sports center and tech travelers might get sent to the computer school. The program has been so successful that Bowen continually sees guests returning for another voluntourism trip in Turks. Limited vacation time in the US makes it
33、 difficult to stick to month-long or even week-long programs, yet American travelers still feel the urge to give back. Its something Rodgers at Give A Day Global used to think about. “I really want to make a positive difference and I dont know how to do that when I travel if I dont have a lot of tim
