In her grandparents’ old house, Maya discovered an old family calendar, with each page filled out carefully. On June 6, 1892: “Helped Mr. Thompson repair his house.” On November 14, 1907: “________ my time at an old people’s home.”

________, she asked her grandmother about it.

“That is the tradition of our family.” her grandmother explained. “Every day, for generations, we complete one kind act and take it down. No matter how ________ it is.”

Maya was interested. “Why?”

Her grandmother smiled, “It is a belief that through continuous kind actions, we can create a life of ________. Every day, we find a moment of light through offering help to others, even when the world around us is dark.

With admiration, Maya decided to keep the tradition. Every night, she would record her act for the day. As the years went by, Maya’s kind act ________, from comforting a worried stranger on the bus to organizing community clean-ups.

One day, as she sat at a cafe, a young woman came to her.

“Are you Maya?”she asked ________. Maya nodded, feeling confused.

The woman went on, “Years ago, you ________ me for free when my family couldn’t afford lessons. Because of you, I graduated top of my class. Today I run an organization providing help for students from poor families.” Maya realized her actions were creating ripples (涟漪) in ways she had never imagined.

The calendar became a community legend. Inspired by Maya, the town started a “Calendar Day”, wishing everyone to do good.

When Maya was old, she often sat with her grandchildren, turning the filled pages. “This was ________ your grandpa and I met. I helped him find his lost dog.”

One day, her oldest grandchild, Sophie, looked up from the calendar. “I want to ________ this, Grandma.” Maya handed the calendar over. She knew the tradition would live on. Years after Maya passed, the town built a statue in her honor, with the words on its base: In memory of Maya and the generations before her who believed in the power of everyday ________.
