Here’s something people don’t often think about: Helping helps even when there’s not a problem.
Getting into the habit of giving and receiving help builds good relationships. It makes us feel more care. It stops stress from building because we know someone else is thinking about us. And if there is a problem, we’re sharing it before it gets too serious. It just feels great to help.
Try these small practices at home and see how they make you feel:
· Help your little brother or sister with a homework problem.
· Help your mom prepare dinner.
· Help your dad carry living goods.
· Offer to do a chore that’s not usually yours.
There’s more to it than just feeling good: Kindness is contagious. It can create more kindness. So you might start to notice your family (or friends) reaching out to help more.
Just don’t fall into the trap (陷阱) of expectation (期待). If we help out only because we expect the other person to do something in return, we will probably end up feeling disappointed and angry instead of happy and fulfilled. So decide to help simply because of the positive feelings it creates. Then, when someone else does something nice for you (and it will happen), it’s a wonderful surprise.
Giving and receiving is one of the most basic friendship skills. With a good network of supportive people, we are less stressed. We feel loved and understood, so we’re better able to solve problems, come back from disappointments, and try again.

I was reading my favorite book on the train. The book was so interesting that I lost myself in it. When it was time to get off the train, I stood up quickly and ran off the train. I had the book in my hand. I didn’t realize (意识到) it was raining heavily until I got off the train.
I was so worried about my book that I ran to the closest office. It was empty. I felt a little nervous about running into the room in such a rude (无礼的) way.
Later, a man came in. To my surprise, he didn’t feel angry about a stranger (陌生人) getting into his office and started talking to me in a friendly way. “No umbrella, right?” he asked. “Mom told me to bring an umbrella this morning, but I didn’t listen to her,” I answered. “That’s not good, young man. I’m sorry to say that I have only one,” he said. Hearing this, I felt very sad. There was no way for me to go home in such heavy rain. Then the man went on saying, “But I will finish my work in 10 minutes. If you don’t mind, I can drive you home.” You can guess how excited I was. I kept saying thanks.
Finally, I arrived home safely. I felt really thankful for the man’s kind act.

Early one October morning, a nice woman sent a young magpie (喜鹊) to my home for care. The magpie flew into the front window of a truck and got hurt, but luckily the woman passed by
With my care, the young magpie did very well, but he was not happy to find himself in a cage.
Six days later, his wings (翅膀) were fine and nothing else was broken. He recovered, so I decided to drive him to where he was found. When I arrived, I got the cage out of the car and opened the door offering my am. He jumped onto it and looked around. I could see he knew where he was.
Next to us was a tree. He flew straight to the top to join a wagtail (鹡鸰). The wagtail made lots of high singing and flew across the field. But the young magpie was on the top of the tree. I began to worry because he still needed his parents.
The next minute, I heard the singing of the wagtail again. He was flying back and two large magpies followed. They stopped on either side of the young magpie, and then put their heads in the air and sang excitedly.
