Once an old man went to see a doctor. The doctor looked him over carefully and said, "Medicine won't help you. You must have a good rest. Go to bed early, drink milk, walk a lot and smoke one cigar (雪茄烟) a day. Go to the country place for a month."
After a month the man came to see the doctor again. "How are you?" said the doctor. "I'm glad to see you again. You look much younger." "Oh, doctor, I feel quite well now, "said the man. "I had a good rest. I went to bed early, drank a lot of milk and walked a lot. Your advice certainly helped me, but that you told me to smoke one cigar a day almost killed(杀死) me first. It's no joke to start smoking at my age."

Will you put others’ needs before your own? What will you get if you do? Here is an experience of mine.
It was a wet day and I had a time. I was busy and everyone I talked to was in a bad mood. What’s more,I went out without breakfast and I left my at home. So I couldn’t get lunch and was terribly hungry.
When I finished my work,I to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy .Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my meal of the day at 5:00 p.m.
As I was halfway home,my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in and needed a lift home. My mind said,“I will get him I get the meal.” But my mouth said,“All right, I’ll give him a .”
He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the stopped him from making that journey.
was a mess. A drive to him normally took 10 minutes, but that day it took 30 minutes.
Now you would guess the person that I was helping is a friend of mine. But,in fact,he is a friend of a friend.
