He _____ the bag, but saw nothing in it.

A. looked through B. looked into　 C. looked out of　 D. looked up

       Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community activities, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The city councilman (议员) was leading a discussion about the decreasing life quality. The neighborhood faced many problems.

       Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for crime, parking problems, and for problems in vacant (空置的) buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilman.

       It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,” he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.”

       Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “People should just take care of themselves,” he decided. “That's enough to do. I can't take on all the problems of the world.”

       As he neared the bus stop. Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn't have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy's arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks!" she said. "You've got great timing!"

       "Just being neighborly," Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was "Small acts of kindness add up." Mark smiled and thought, "Maybe that's a good place to start."

It was a cold winter morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance,   36   for the train to take me to my   37   in Boston. The word was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves,   38   their steaming cups of coffee.

Reaching into my pocket as the   39  was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was   40  ! I searched through my bag and then I felt   41  . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be   42   there.

“What’s the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me.

“Oh, nothing…. Well, I   43   my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to   44   my match class, and the train is leaving.”

“Here, use this.”

The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up,   45  . People just didn’t do that anymore. Everyone worried about their own   46  , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers.

“Thank you, but no, I can’t.”

“  47  it – go!” The man pushed me   48   the train.  I bought a round – trip ticket, and he refused the change I   49  to give him back. I did not know what to say – a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood   50  .

For the train ride I was silent. I began to see the world through   51  eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple   52  .

A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra $ 20   53  I saw the man. And there he was.

“excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I   54  the money into his hand.

Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes someday.” I smiled, content.

The elderly man is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a   55  stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.
