A year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always yelling at them.

   We often met and I always spoke, but the only answer I ever got was a hello from a four-year old girl. One day when I returned they were just coming back to their apartment and the little girl was holding the door in the hall open for the others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things. The parents were telling her to hurry. I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me.

   So I hurried as much as I could and thanked her. She was smiling from ear to ear.

   That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and I saw a white teddy bear. I thought of the little girl and said to myself, “I bet she would like it.” So I bought it for her.

   The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother and the other children were there in the hall, too.

   Now when we meet in the hall we all speak in a friendly manner. Last night we had about 4 inches of snow. The temperature was below zero. When I opened the outside door, there was my car with all the snow removed. The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building, so when I saw him the next day, I asked him if he was the nice person that removed the snow. He said NO. He wanted to, but his wife said she would do it.

   Isn’t it amazing that the small kind act of a 4-year-old girl can change so many things for the better?

43. Who removed the snow on the author’s car?

   A. the girl                        B. the girl’s father

   C. the girl’s mother                D. both the girl’s father and mother

44. The passage is _____________.

   A. sympathetic      B. humorous       C. warm       D. frightening

45. What does the author want to tell us through the passage?

   A. little children should be polite to their neighbors.

   B. More good things come from small acts.

   C. Your neighbors are not as bad as you think.

   D. Things can be changed as a consequence of removing snow.
