If you want your life to stand for peace and kindness, it’s helpful to do kind, peaceful things. One of my 16 ways to do this is by developing my own 17 actions. These little acts of kindness are 18 to be of service and reminders of how good it feels to be 19 and helpful. We live in a rural area of the San Francisco Bay Area. Most of what we see is beauty and 20  . One of the exceptions to the beauty is the 21 that some people throw out of their windows as they are 22 on the rural roads. One of the few drawbacks to 23 the mountainous area is that public services, such as litter collection, are less 24 than those are closer to the city. A helping action that I practice 25 with my two children is picking up litter in our surrounding area. We' ve become so 26 to doing this that my daughters will often say to me in exciting 27 , 'There' s some litter, Daddy, stop the 28 !' And if we have time, we will often pull over and pick it up. It may seem 29 , but we actually enjoy it. We pick up litter in parks, on sidewalks, practically 30 . Once I even saw a complete stranger picking up litter close to 31 we live. He smiled at me and said, 'I saw you doing it, and it seemed like a good 32 .' Picking up litter is only one of an 33 supply of possible helping actions. You might like holding a door open for people, 34 lonely elderly people in nursing homes, or removing snow off someone else' s driveway. Perhaps you might 35 something that seems effortless yet helpful. It' s fun, personally rewarding, and setting a good example. Everyone wins. 小题1: A．favorite B．familiar C．difficult D．different 小题2: A．taking B．placing C．passing D．helping 小题3: A．customs B．ceremonies C．opportunities D．occasions 小题4: A．cruel B．kind C．proud D．brave 小题5: A．science B．weather C．universe D．nature 小题6: A．list B．guidebook C．litter D．check 小题7: A．driving B．directing C．floating D．flying 小题8: A．search for B．live in C．look at D．march into 小题9: A．acceptable B．available C．horrible D．honorable 小题10: A．regularly B．completely C．calmly D．roughly 小题11: A．opposed B．reduced C．devoted D．accustomed 小题12: A．lungs B．voices C．sounds D．noises 小题13: A．horse B．carriage C．bike D．car 小题14: A．strange B．sensitive C．imaginable D．necessary 小题15: A．nowhere B．anywhere C．somewhere D．everywhere 小题16: A．why B．when C．which D．where 小题17: A．idea B．plan C．excuse D．feel 小题18: A．empty B．endless C．immediate D．attractive 小题19: A．describing B．developing C．visiting D．valuing 小题20: A．ask for B．look into C．carry out D．think of
