the Browns met Mr Snow at the animal shelter. We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes, Mr Snow said, so I need to ask you some questions. After they talked for a while, the Browns decided to get a small dog. It wouldn39。t need a big house or a big yard. A small dog would bark and warn him if someone tried to break into their house.

Later she repeated it in an interview on a TV show, and it soon caught people39。s eyes and made people think about how small kind actions could make our daily lives better. One rainy night, a woman was standing at a bus stop waiting for the bus. A man came by on a motorcycle and offered to give her a ride. Of course, the woman said no. It would be crazy to accept a ride from a stranger on a motorcycle. Suddenly the man reached out and put a 50dollar bill in her hand. He said, Please take a taxi. It hurts me to see you standing here in the rain. Before she could refuse, he left quickly on his motorcycle. Kind actions can be contagious. Once, a woman was going through a toll station(收費(fèi)站) on a highway. Instead of paying for one ticket, she asked for two. She said to the toll collector, The second ticket is for the car behind me. She didn39。t know the person in that car. She just did it without thinking more. So when the next car came up, the toll collector said to the driver, You don39。t have to pay. The woman in the blue car just paid for you. The driver was so surprised that he decided to pay for the person behind him. This continued with 14 drivers that day. So just imagine what the world will be like if we all practice random actions of kindness from time to time?(1)When the man on the motorcycle offered to give a ride, the woman probably felt he is______.
