【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ganization in high school called .(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for that. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dad39。s health was on the decline. Later her father39。s physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3hour plane ride, she sat in silence around strangers. When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part I39。ll never forget about Helga39。s story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked at me and said, Houston, not a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day. It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isn39。t normal. Kindness isn39。t normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. I39。m reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying about our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help. So, I39。ve made it my mission to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. I39。m always be on the lookout for the little opportunities that surround me every day to do something nice.（1）What impressed the author most about Helga39。s story?

In university I had a parttime job at a shop that sold doughnuts and coffee. Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus. Every afternoon around four o39。clock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would e to a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didn39。t mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare when a ticket went missing — always repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away some doughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived. I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives — until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o39。clock. He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites. I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe. I told him it wasn39。t a big deal, and that I enjoyed the kids. So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark. Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They bee, well, Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (滑冰場) who let my boys ring home。 Or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn39。t leave until I arrived to pick her up。 Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work — even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. Was that a police car I saw at your house last night? That wasn39。t a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.（1）According to the passage, the author sometimes _______.
