My husband Mike had been working in Florida for five months. Our five-year-old daughter Kallie 【小题1】 him very much. So Kallie and I were flying to Florida to spend a week with him.

Kallie was nervous about the 【小题2】 and wanted me to read for her the whole way. The plane was full. Because we did not get our boarding pass (登机牌) until we 【小题3】 at the gate, Kallie and I could not get seats together.

I asked the passengers next to me if they would 【小题4】 places with Kallie or me. They all said no.

At that time, a mother and her two children in front of us were also in the 【小题5】 situation. The mother could hold her baby, but her 6-year-old son had to sit 【小题6】 strangers. And nobody offered to help her.

Until, I saw a troop of Boy Scouts (童子军) on our flight. The Scout leader stood up and said to the woman: “Ma’am, I think we can help you.” He 【小题7】 five minutes rearranging (重排) his group so there was space for the family to sit together. A 【小题8】 came on the mother’s face.

Suddenly, the man sitting next to the Scout leader turned around to me and asked: “Would you and your daughter like our seats?” We changed seats and being 【小题9】 made our trip so much better.

Would that man have offered us his seat if the Scouts hadn’t done so for the mom and her children? I’m not sure. 【小题10】 I do know that kindness is contagious (传染的), and good things cause more good things.

One day, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. 【小题1】, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.

This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not 【小题2】, but they were clean. All the children stood a line, two-by-two behind their parents. They were 【小题3】 talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It 【小题4】 to be a highlight（精彩场面）of their young lives.

Pop singers earn a lot of money by giving concerts. But many do not just keep the money for themselves. Many singers use their 【小题1】 and their money to help others.

After the Japan earthquake, several famous singers made a special album to raise money for the people in Japan. They sold the album only 【小题2】.

Lady Gaga gave a concert tour（巡回演出）to raise money to help homeless young people. She also told her fans that they should 【小题3】 to help the homeless.

Singers often use the internet to talk to fans. Now stars have even more 【小题4】 than before. Singing to help others is so meaningful and important.
