    One cold rainy night, I was working on my Legos (乐高玩具）in my bedroom. I was dreaming of the day when I have1enough money to buy my favourite set. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I jumped from my chair and raced to the top of the2, wondering who would visit us on such a rainy night. My mother opened the door.3, she found a very untidy man. Overcome by4, my mother invited him inside to the living room.

   I went 5 quietly so I could get a better look. I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, but I saw the man 6 his head in his hands and crying, which made my chest 7.

    I raced back to my room, grabbed the one-dollar coin I had got that morning, ran back to the man,8the coin in his hand and gave him a hug. At that moment, I had no idea why I did so. Feeling 9, I stood still.

    In a while, the stranger sat quietly with his head10. Finally, he said, "I just thought nobody cared about me. That was the first hug I have gotten in — hmm… I don't know how long. It's hard to believe that11cares."

    Being a kid, I hadn't thought about what I was doing that night. On our earlier morning jogs, my dad and I had talked about the12of giving, but I hadn't had any idea of what it really13. Later, the man said that as he was walking along the streets, 14and ready to die, he noticed a sticker on the car in front of our house, which15 SOMEBODY LOVES YOU.

    When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. And I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If he was ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.

    It was difficult to make our steps—his slow, mine impatient, and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."

    He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a ―good heart‖, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. I believe that is a proper standard by which we can judge people, even though I still don't know exactly what a "good heart" is.

    Unable to join in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball, he "played" too. When I joined the Navy, he "joined" too. And when I came home on leave, he made sure that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, "This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different." Those words were never said aloud.

    He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If so, I just want to tell him how sorry I was and how I regretted it.

    Now I think of him when I complain about small things, when I am envious of others' good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart".

    At such times, I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."

    In the bitter wind, a telecommunications team spent two hours connecting a remote(偏僻的) village with the 4G communication network, so a student there could attend online classes.

    Jiang Lingyun, a freshman at a university in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, stayed at her hometown for a prolonged(延长的)winter vacation as most Chinese students did during the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. But the weak network signals in the village held her back, when her university resumed classes live online. Jiang sent the state-owned China Tower (China Tower Corporation Ltd.) call for help on the Weibo social platform. To her surprise, a team from China Tower and China Mobile traveled hundreds of miles through the snow for 10 hours to reach her village, at the northeastern tip of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and solved the problem.

"We were worried about Jiang when we received her message. It is our responsibility to help her," said Xiao Sha, a member of the team. Jiang and her parents were very grateful for the strong signal: "So many people came to install the antenna(天线)and adjust the signal just for a student, and I really appreciate it." The stories are posted on China Tower's official Weibo account, where those needing help can turn.

    China Tower also helps teachers to solve signal problems in online teaching in remote villages with online schools.

    Boston has some of the nicest parks in the nation and the City Council wants to clean it up — by keeping out some unwanted gthat leave too much behind.

    Canada geese (鹅) have taken over Boston area parks, golf courses and waters, and they've ba sign as the actual landmark at which they reside. However, it's not because of the bird i, but the poop(污物0left behind that has become a problem.

    "The droppings are eand it is a problem," one local said.

    The City Council is looking to find a way to d out the geese. Over the years, the numbers have gone up due in large part to a lack of natural predators(捕食者). But for every bird, a lot of poop is lbehind.

    One of these birds eat four pounds of grass a day and leaves behind three pounds of w per day.

    Annissa Essaibi-George said the city has a responsibility to care for its parks, w a quarter of a billion dollars is invested(投资).

    "It's destroying our parks and we need to take that investment that we've made in our parks s," Essaibi-George said.

    The issue(议题) will be d at a meeting where the City Council experts public input and expert advice on how best to solve the poop problem.
