Many years ago, I visited Thailand. One evening I went to a 1ittle market. There was a small boy selling T-shirts in the market. He couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 years old, but he was a good little salesman. He was talking q【1】 in Thai to two local persons when I arrived. And they both bought a T-shirt. Then there was a Japanese visitor in front of me, and the little boy began to talk in Japanese. Although he didn't speak Japanese very well, he was able to say a few words e【2】 to get another sale. When I came up, he saw my white face and immediately switched to English.

"Hello, Sir, how are you? Do you like T-shirts? "And within just a few m【3】 , he had persuaded(說服) me to buy five T-shirts. He was flexible (靈活的) he could jump from one language to another to m【4】 the customers from different countries. And even if he only knew a few words, he was so flexible that he could use his body languages to make customers understand the r【5】 of the meaning!

Selling a T-shirt meant getting money and that was a good thing. He made mistakes in his communication, but he didn't l【6】 anything by making some mistakes. Actually, it was a good chance to improve his language skills. He was in a good state. He clearly enjoyed selling those T-shirts and his face was wearing a b【7】 smile all the time.

It was work but he enjoyed it --he was relaxed and focused.

A. fall B. hall C. elevator D. mail

It is _______(luck) for him to lose his wallet and cell phone on the playground.

When someone does something nice for you, you probably want to pay that person back. But some people choose to pay it forward! “Pay it forward” means people do something nice by helping another person who may be in need.

In the process, they hope to become part of good deeds that will grow and grow.

The idea to “pay it forward” became popular in 2000. But the concept is at least as old as Ben Franklin. In 1784 he helped a young man by giving him some money. After that, he wrote the man a letter. He told the man that he refused to be paid back because he wanted the man to help someone who needed money in the future.

Everyone can find ways to pay it forward. Kids can pay for someone’s lunch or give up their place in line at school. Others could cheer the sick kids in the hospital up or simply hold the door open for another person. Many people enjoy coming up with creative ways they can pay it forward. They visit old people’s homes, serve on cleaners, collect cans for charity, and start recycling programs.

When going to a drive-through restaurant, some customers like to tell the cashier that they’ll pay for the order of the person in the car behind them. Usually one or two drivers will do this at a time. Sometimes it might go on for several cars. In 2003, the customers at a drive-through coffee shop in Connecticut set a record. More than 1,000 drivers in a row paid for the order of the car behind them!

So if you receive an act of kindness one day, I’m sure you’ll know exactly what to do. Pay it forward!
