The pea incident happened when I was eight. My grandmother, my mother and I were having lunch at a restaurant. I 1 a Salisbury steak. But when served, it was 2 accompanied by a plate of peas.

I have always hated peas. It is a complete 3 to me why anyone would voluntarily eat peas.

“Eat your peas,” my grandmother said.

“Mother,” said my mother in her 4 voice. “He doesn’t like peas. Leave him alone.”

My grandmother looked at me and said the words that changed my life: “I’ll pay you five dollars 5 you eat those peas”. Five dollars! And only one plate of peas stood between 6 and the possession of that unimaginable amount of money. I began to 7 the awful things down my throat and finally swallowed the 8 one of them. My grandmother handed me the 9 . “I can do what I want, Ellen, and you can’t stop me,” she 10 to my mother. My mother glared at her and also glared at me 11 .

Several days later, at dinner, my mother offered me some steaming peas and I, of course, 12 . My mother fixed me with a cold eye as she 13 more peas onto my plate. “You ate them for money,” she said, “You can eat them for love.”

Oh, despair! Now, too late, I realized that I had been 14 in a terrible place from which there was no 15 . “You ate them for money. You can eat them for love.” Did I eat the peas? You bet I did. I ate them that day and every other time they were served thereafter.

An act of kindness doesn’t have to be a grand gesture. Even those small acts of kindness can make a difference in someone’ day. That was just the case for Amie Mickey when she 1 a bumper sticker (车尾贴) on her car reading: You Matter.

Amie started to do this several years ago. At first, she wondered if people would 2 it. However, much to her surprise, she began seeing a flood of 3 every time she hit the road. More often than not, people 4 slowly near her car would roll down their windows, raising their 5 , waving and smiling.

Last year, someone 9 her car while she was waiting for her friend in the car by the roadside, saying to her, “It is a(an) 10 sticker. I’ve seen various stickers before, but none of them have touched me as your sticker has done.” The two small words on the sticker seem simple enough, but they really struck a chord with many complete strangers who 11 to catch sight of the sticker.

Stories like Amie’s really 12 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 13 and it doesn’t cost a thing except for a little extra thought. Maybe it means offering a friend a hug, praising the children when their children 14 well in school, helping someone out or volunteering at nursing homes. Acts of kindness are waiting everywhere. Small as they seem, they can make a 15 impact on the world, and help form general goodness. 1．A．put up B．picked up C．fixed up D．tore up
