    Yesterday I popped into a supermarket on my way home to buy a few items.So there I was, in the 15 items or less line, waiting to be 1 when I noticed a young lady with a baby in front of me.She was really 2 her items, which was probably what 3 my attention to her.So there I was staring, and I watched 4 the checkout girl told her the total.She began to search the 5and then looked up, her face almost white.

    Intuitively (凭直觉) I knew what was wrong.She was 6 of money.As her total came to $8.80, I assumed she was low on the 7.So I opened my purse, reached in, and 8 a few of my own coins, saying “How much do you need, honey？” She looked at me 9 and said “Like all of it.”Without even 10 and putting my own coins back into my purse, I told the checkout girl to add it to my 11.The lady could barely speak.She told me she had $10 in her purse but had no 12 what happened to it.I told her it was no accident today that of all the checkouts I could have lined up at I 13 at this one, right behind her.I wished her a 14 day, and paid for the total.

    The lady never did 15 me or even so much as look back.She walked away 16 digging through her bag looking for what I supposed was her 17 $10 note.Yet it doesn't matter at all.What I love most about all this is that the checkout girl saw, 18 the five or so other people behind me.What I hope is that they will 19 what they saw.Someday, somewhere, perhaps they or the people they tell, may too be 20 to do the same.

    Every one of us are thinking about the future.I have decided to become a middle school teacher.Does it sounds surprising?

    I have had this dream when I was a child.I love children.I don't think to deal with them all years round is just wasting time.On contrary, to me it means happiness.Like we all can see, teachers are badly needed in our country, and not many of us want to become teachers.One of the main reason is that teachers work too hard but get too little.In spite of that, I'm determining to devote all my life into the cause of education.

    If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple—eat the same food as they do.Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.

    During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats.And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.

    The reason is thought to be so­called similarity attraction theory—where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves.But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship.Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food's role in earning trust.

    In a test, participants were told to watch TV—where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product.The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.

    The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.

    The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such.They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do.It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.”

    Harley Street psychologist Dr.Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust.But this was the first report that food had the same effect.She said, “This is really interesting.It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person.That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.”
