One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed am empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversion and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee. I asked,
“My I get you something?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath ?”
“Who?”
“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are.

Dear Mary,
I receive your E-mail just now. Don’t worry about me. I was getting on well with my research work in the lab. To my greatly surprise, you say you will give up learn English. The reason is because you have not done well in it recently and you have lost interests. I’m afraid I can’t agree with you . I know it is difficulty to learn English, yet English is widely used in the world today. It will be important tool in our future work. Beside, it is becoming more and more important in our daily life. The more harder you study, the more successful you will be. Do remember that where there is a will, there is a way. I’ m looking forward to hearing good news from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
