I was 20 years old when my mother passed away.It was the first real blow that life had dealt me，and I thought I would never recover.Then，by the time the following spring came，the pain was almost bearable and again I could find pleasure in the miraculous reward of nature.

At first，I went to the cemetery with trepidation.But then，amazingly，by tending her grave and decorating it with flowers，I was ridding myself of the painful memories.

The years passed.I moved from Kaposvar，Hungary，the town where I had been born and had spent my youth.So did my siblings.We only came together on feast days，especially on All Souls’ Day in the cemetery.

Father lived with me for many years，to a ripe old age.Now that he，too，rests beneath the white marble stone，I go even more eagerly to the cemetery.While I tend my parents’ grave site，again I am with them in thought.

One day I noticed a modest grave site behind my parents’ plot.It lay among the magnificent granite and marble markers of the other graves，its very simplicity calling attention to itself.Ivy(常春藤) had covered the site and its only decoration was a simple wooden cross on which was written in copper letters a name，and that she lived 22 years.Whenever I went by，the plot and its surroundings looked cared for and neat，and each time I felt curious about this mysterious woman who had lived all of 22 years.

Once I saw an elderly man leaving from there.I concluded that perhaps he had come to visit his wife.In 1996 I was preparing for All Souls’ Day in the cemetery when again I caught sight of him，tending the grave.Tall，somewhat bent，he was well passed middle age.We nodded to each other and continued our work.Occasionally I stole a glance at my neighbor.When I noticed that he hadn’t got the tools for a proper cleanup，I offered him mine，which he gratefully accepted.After this，it seemed only natural to engage him in conversation.I asked him whose grave it was.This was his answer：

“My mother’s.She died young，in 1912 when I was only a year?and?a half old.I really never knew her.I made her that cross and the copper letters.”

Then he went on：“No one comes to visit this grave but me because I was her only child.She died of pneumonia.My father remarried and my stepmother only cared for her own children.So then I always came here to my mother，whether in sadness or in joy.Later，life took me far afield，but I never forgot this grave.For me it was the same as the family home is for others.I always came home here.”

“With the years passing，it is getting more difficult for me to come，but as long as my legs will carry me，at least twice a year I visit my mother.I’m in my 80s，so who knows how long I can still make it.”

In stunned silence I listened.Tears clouded my eyes as I realized that I had never seen such boundless love.How much easier is my lot，I thought，for at any moment I can reach into my storehouse of memories and draw out the joyful or sad vignettes(小插圖) that bind me to my parents with a thousand threads.What memories might this kindly old gentleman harbor？Perhaps a face from an ancient faded photograph of his mother.

What a great attachment throughout his long life must have led him back again and again to the resting place of that young woman whose motherly love he could never truly savor(嘗到)，only forever feels its enormous lack.

We said good?bye.I was deeply moved because I knew that I had been given a great gift.I had been allowed a glimpse of the royal and long?lasting affection that bound a simple and noble?hearted man to his mother.I decided I would tend the grave together with that of my parents，where，finally，the aged child will have met his youthful mother.

Few kids today are taught the value of empathy (同感；同情心). It seems so hard for people to show their love and care toward others and to actually understand what they are going through.

As a child I was taught to go out of my way to make someone else happy. My mom would tell me to say at least one kind word to someone else every day. I admit that it wasn’t very easy to do. But as soon as you see the look of gratitude (感激) in that person’s eyes, you just want to do as much as you can.

I had an experience with a guy that people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening, I knew in my heart that it was wrong. I decided I would try to be his friend. I started walking with him and introducing him to people around us. I was making him happy by just doing that. And I loved the fact that I was really making a difference in his life.

After a while I realized that he wasn’t the kind of person everybody thought he was. We are still really good friends today. People have almost completely stopped making fun of him. But he is still what he was. What had changed was the attitudes of others toward him.

From this experience I’ve learned to be more loving toward other people. What I did for my friend was so easy. And at the same time I had a lot of fun. So I hope that everyone could say a kind word to someone else at least once a day.

I can promise it will be the best feeling you can ever get.

One kind word could make someone’s day brighter.

1.We can learn from the fourth paragraph that             .

A. one’s attitude to others can be changed

B. one’s nature can be changed as time goes by

C. everyone can have a good friendship

D. people shouldn’t make fun of others

2.The last two paragraphs suggest that _______.

A. saying a kind word will give you friendship and fun

B. it is really a hard thing to say a kind word to others

C. having a lot of fun in life will help to make a good life

D. a kind word may benefit both the speaker and the listener

3.What does the writer focus on in this passage?

A. Understanding. B. Friendship.

C. Kindness. D. Fun.

About us

Started by private citizens who believe that everyone should have the right to take showers, Lava Mae seeks to reach those who lack these necessities.

We turn retired public transportation buses into bathrooms because we believe that for the thousands of men, women and children living on our streets, a shower can be the first step towards change.

Our partners

Each day we partner different local non-profit organizations providing services to the homeless.

The local government tries their best to deliver our services. For example, get buses and seek access to water.

The private sector has provided us with goods and services, in addition to other support and funding that make our service possible.

Our mission

To deliver dignity(尊嚴(yán))and unlock opportunity for the homeless—one mobile shower at a time. Fundamental to this mission are three beliefs: First, everyone has the right to be clean.

Developing a Funny Personality

Put yourself under the spotlight. Tell self-deprecating (自嘲的）jokes rather than make jokes at the expense of others. 1. Rodney Dangerfield made fun of both his sanity (理智）and his looks with this one: "I went to the psychiatrist (精神病醫(yī)生)，and he says 'You're crazy.' I tell him I want a second opinion. He says, ‘Okay，you're ugly too!'"

Know your audience. 2. Some people find that sensationalism causes them to laugh; others find that satire (諷刺) does the trick. Learn which is which, and deliver your jokes and anecdotes so that they apply to many different categories of humor and emotion at once.

Mislead the mind. Misleading the mind is what we referred to earlier as surprise. 3. Verbal jokes use this element to the greatest level possible, trying to misdirect your attention in the same that magic tricks do.

4. Good timing is really important, because if you give the brain too much time to work out a situation or joke, the funny moment will pass by. This is probably why jokes people have heard before don't work, as recognition dulls the humor because the brain is already well-prepared by experience. React quickly and strike while the humorous moment exists.

Be observant. Look for the humor in everyday situations, and see what others don't. 5.

A. Strike while the iron is hot.

B. Different things make different people laugh.

C. Surround yourself with people who are funny.

D. More people will be more willing to laugh, instead of being laughed at.

E. You can expand your reach a good deal by listening to other funny people.

F. Often, the unnoticed humor that is standing right in front of our eyes has the most effect.

G. This is when you create a difference between what someone expects to happen and what actually happens.
