An old man walked slowly into a restaurant with his cane (拐杖). His old jacket and shoes made him unusual that day.
A young waitress named Mary watched him move towards a table by the window. She ran over to him, and said with a smile, "Here, sir. Let me give you a hand. " Without saying a word, he gave her a smile. She pulled the chair away from the table and helped him sit down. Then she put his cane against the table so that he could reach it. In a soft, clear voice, he said,"Thank you, miss. "
"You're welcome, sir, "she replied. "I will be back in a moment, and if you need anything,just wave at me! "
After he had finished a good meal. Mary brought him the change. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, " Come back and see us, sir! "The old man turned around and smiled.
When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under the plate, she found a business card, a 100—dollar bill and a note. The note said, "Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. "
In fact, the old man was the owner of the restaurant. That was the first time that she, or any of his waitresses, had seen him.
You've probably seen it before—two elderly people walking hand in hand down the street and looking very much like each other. They look so much alike that they could be brother and sister. Do you believe that people who live together for many years would look alike? It's strange, but scientists say it's true.
How scientists proved it? In a study, scientists found young couples only showed
similarity by chance. However, elder couples were very likely to look like each other. The similarity could be very subtle(微妙)and could be found in wrinkles (皱纹)or furrows, etc. Besides, some couples look far more alike than other couples
The scientists thought of several possible reasons:
Diet. "We are what we eat. "As couples usually share the same diet, will they probably look alike? For example, if both partners eat a high fat diet, their faces will tend to look fat. However, the scientists ruled this out (排除) using another small study.
Environment. Will elderly couples show similarity because they live together in the same area for a long time? The environmental factors (因素 ) such as sunshine and wind affect the skin in similar ways. The scientists ruled this possibility out as well.
Empathy（移情作用）. This is the theory（理论） the scientists believe in． Couples grow to look similar because they are empathizing with each other. They copy each other's facial expressions. For example, if one partner often smiles in a certain way, the other is likely to copy it. In this way, their faces share similar wrinkles and furrows.
Housework is an endless argument between lazy husbands and their hard—working wives, but women are warned not to expect men to share housework any time soon
A study from Oxford University has found it seems impossible for men to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers will continue to shoulder the burden(负担)of childcare and housework for the next forty years, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still thought of to be"womens work”
The gap(鸿沟)has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. Women expect true equality(平等). But what makes them down is that it will take another forty years before it is achieved
The research found that in the northern Europe, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, a woman spends around four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty—eight minutes for men.This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically(典型的)spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.
But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries.Dr Oriel Sullivan. a research reader, said, "we've looked at what is influencing the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as"'men's work'or'women's work'."
Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes(态度 )taught at school may decide the views of housework. "At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difticult for a boy to enjoy cooking and dancing, "she said.
Have you ever heard of a famous charity called Operation Smile?
Operation Smile was started by a doctor and his wife. In 1982, together with some volunteers, they went to Philippines to help children who had holes in their lips or inside their mouths.
These volunteers worked very hard. But they worried that they could not carry on with the work because they were lack（缺乏） of money. Then they decided to start a charity so that they could help these needy children. They called it Operation Smile. Operation Smile has won many prizes for its work and in 1999 they even started a special event called" The World Journey of Hope". 53000 children in 18 countries are cured during the event.
On the other hand，Operation Smile trains health care professionals in developing countries so that they can continue to help children when Operation Smile has left.
So show your kindness and generosity（慷慨） to the needy children now.
