Yesterday, as I approached the front door of our public library, a white-haired gentleman stepped back to hold the door for me. With a walking stick  (hold) in my hand, it is not strange for folks to do so. However, I told the gentleman that the door had an automatic opener, and that it can open by (it). He said, "I (think) I would have an opportunity to be helpful. " On hearing that, I backed up, let the door close, and allowed him to reopen the door, not (use) the automatic control this time. That act of kindness brightened not only my day, but my delight, also the day of that white-haired senior citizen.

Holding the door open is a polite and thoughtful act, which can bring (warm) to others.  you are at home or at work, open the door for others and those around you will thank you. They'll certainly appreciate your good manners, will comfort people.

Never hesitate to offer kindness. A small act of kindness brings an (expect) result. Keep in mind that a small deed makes  big difference.

When he was only six years old, my son was attracted by the beauty of ballet. Afterwards, when he showed 1 in learning to dance, the classmate who lived next door laughed. "Don't be silly," she said. "There are no boys in my 2 class."

3 his interest in dance. Including me, many family members and friends tried to 4 him by saying depressing words. "Boys don't dance." "Dancing is for girls." To stop his 5 , I enrolled him in swimming lessons and science camp. But he never lost enthusiasm for learning to dance, and it 6 when he watched dancers in Broadway shows.

The summer after graduating from high school, my son designed dance for a group of students. How 10 I was on the final night of the play when the dancers thanked my son on the stage! 

During his first year of college, he was 11 a role in a national touring company. When my son asked if he should finish 12 first and then dance, I didn't 13 to give him my support, "No more

14 dreams. Go for it!" 

Several years later, he got a 15 to join his idol, an excellent dancer, in his tour of Sweet Charity. Over the years, my son has danced in many theatres, television and other musicals. Indeed, boys dance, too.

In 2011, Nancy Ballard went for a routine check-up that turned into something extraordinary. In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she'd done when she arrived at her doctor's San Francisco office. "It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy(化疗) rooms," the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one. 

She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint was falling. It was a depressing room for a depressing routine—patients were restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls. Ballard didn't have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients. "I couldn't imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that," she says. As it happened, Ballard's physician, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her task to brighten up the place. 

She started by emailing 20 local designers. "I wrote, ‘You don't know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms,'" she remembers. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr Hufford's rooms each. 

As it happened, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork and furniture. Dr Hufford was delighted. "All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it," he said. He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients. 

Ballard was so encouraged by the patients' reactions that she created a non-profit organization to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. "We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon-cutting(剪彩), and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer," says Ballard. "When she saw what we'd done, she said, ‘I'm gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn't going to, but now I know I'm gonna beat it.'"

(1) What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms? A. The request of a nurse in San Francisco. B. The good relationship with Hufford. C. Her enthusiasm for room decoration. D. Her sympathy for cancer patients.
(2) What outcome does Ballard's effort bring about? A. More hospitals will be built. B. Hufford cured more patients. C. The cancer patients were feeling better. D. Hufford's chemotherapy rooms got good fame.
(3) Which of the following best describes Nancy Ballard? A. Rich and generous. B. Loving and devoted. C. Talented and energetic. D. Ambitious and creative.
(4) What is a suitable title for the text? A. Design for Hope B. Donation for Patients C. Decoration in Hospital D. The Battle Against Cancer
