A

Recently we’ve had a popular department store open in our area. It’s been the talk of the town for months. On about the third day of the grand opening, I thought I’d stop by to check it out. I noticed right away that the parking area was very busy.

As I was about to exit（退出）my car, a lady was about to enter her car to leave. She was parked on the opposite side of me and there was a four way stop behind our parking areas. As the lady tried to back out to leave, some of the drivers were extremely rude to her. They shouted and beeped their horns(鸣喇叭) at the lady and she had a look of terror（恐惧）on her face. She looked at me and threw up both of her hands as if she didn’t know what to do.

I gestured（做手势） for the lady to put her window down and I told her that she was doing just fine. She smiled and seemed to relax. I then became her rear view mirror(后视镜)as it was hard for her to see behind her while backing out of the parking space. As I watched for safety, she was able to back out enough to drive forward.

At this point, she was smiling broadly！She thanked me many times. I felt that many of the other drivers weren’t sympathetic(同情的) enough toward her. I was happy to help that lady. Besides that, who knows, we may have avoided a potential accident with this simple act of patience and kindness.
