体裁：记叙文 话题：感人故事 时间：7分钟

(2014·广东卷，B)It was a cold winter day.A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站) ．“I'm paying for myself ，and for the six cars behind me ，”she said with a smile，handing over seven tickets.One after another，the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed，“Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”

It turned out that the woman，Natalie Smith，had read something on a friend's refrigerator ：“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.”The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.

Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home.When it stayed on her mind for days，she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down.“I thought it was beautiful，”she said，explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters，“like a message from above.”Her husband，Frank ，liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students ，one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson，a local news reporter.Alice put it in the newspaper，admitting that though she liked it，she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant.

Two days later，Alice got a call from Anne Herbert，a woman living in Marin.It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper，after turning it around in her mind for days.

“Here's the idea，”Anne says.“Anything you think there should be more of，do it randomly.”Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools

，

leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town，and giving money secretly to a proud old lady.Anne says，

“”

The acts of random kindness spread.If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid，who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later.Like all great events，kindness begins slowly，with every single act.Let it be yours!

(2014·福建卷)It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son，Tenyson.As we were leaving，we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete.Her husband was with her ，but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.

Walking towards the scene，Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.He said to me ，“Mum ，it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone. ”

At the front of the supermarket，a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower.“It will make her feel better，”he said.I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up.“Just take it，”she replied.“I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”

By now paramedics(急救人员)had arrived ，and were attending to the injured woman.As we walked up to her ，my son became by all the blood and medical equipment.He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him，“My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”

At that，the old man started crying and said，“Thank you so much，you have a wonderful son.Happy Mother's Day to you.”

The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower ，telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken，the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
