（A）

Several years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me: “You don’t look well” That completely took me by surprise, I told him I had never felt 25 （well）. Without hesitation he told me I looked terribly bad and my skin appeared yellow.

When I left the service station, 26 (feel) a little uneasy, I pulled over to the side of road and look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was everything all right? Had I picked up 27 rare disease? Had I picked up hepatitis（肝炎）?

The next time I drove into the service station, I figured out what 28 (happen). The place had recently been painted a bright yellow, the light 29 (reflect) off the walls made someone inside look as though they had hepatitis. I wondered how many folks had reacted the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total stranger 30 (change) my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single negative observation had a profound effect 31 the way I felt and acted.

A little while later I saw how funny the incident was. I wonder how many other people that the man had told were ill 32 he realized that the service station had a paint job.

（B）

My daughter and I were flying to spend a week with my husband in Florida. The plane was totally full. I had noticed some Boy Scouts (童子军) at the gate and promised to my daughter that if 33 happened, we would be OK with all those Scouts on our flight!

Unfortunately, our seats were separated by the aisle（走道）. Kallie was nervous about the trip and had counted on my reading to her the whole way. 34 (try) to read across the aisle would be a challenge.

When the two passengers who shared my row boarded the plane, I asked if they __35__ switch places with Kallie and me. They refused. Meanwhile, a mother and her three children were panicking several rows ahead of us. There had been a mistake with their boarding passes, and the whole family 36 (split) up. The passengers in her row also refused to move. The mother was concerned about the younger boy sitting with strangers.

Suddenly the Scout leader stood up and said, “Ma’am, we can help you.” He then spent five minutes rearranging his group. The mother’s relief was obvious.

Kallie, however, was still upset. I told her that there wasn’t anything 37 I could do; we would have to sit 38 we were. Gradually, the man sitting next to the Scoutmaster (not a Scout himself) turned around and asked, “Would you and your daughter like our seats?” We traded seats and continued our trip, very much 39 (relieve) to be together.

Would that man have offered us his seat if the Scouts hadn’t done so for the mom and her children? I don’t know. But the belief lives on in my mind 40 kindness is contagious（蔓延）!
