Have you ever given tips（小费）to the waiters? _______ years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my family to a nice restaurant. The meal was delicious _______ we all had a good time together. The gift card covered almost all of the check（账单）. I reached into my wallet _______ enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills（钞票） inside. The first would cover the rest of the check. The second would cover the check and give the waitress _______ nice tip. I reached down to pick the first one.

At that moment, my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I _______ as a waiter in a restaurant. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I remembered seeing the waitresses worrying about _______ the rent（房租）. I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness in their faces _______ the end of the day.

Then I was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the _______ bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of _______ with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the waitress. “You keep the change, “ I said with a smile. The waitress felt happy because she __________ a nice tip.

We are all one family in this world. Do your best to be kind.
