I had a short stay in Detroit before flying to Toronto. I 1 up the jetway （机道），knowing that my gate was on the opposite end of the airport. I got there with five minutes to 2 and stood waiting for "Group 3" to be called.
I was tired and had an important sales call an hour after I was 3 to get home. I guess you could say that 4 was important. But then it announced， "It seems we have overbooked the flight. Would anyone care to volunteer to5 for the later flight？"
The next flight was at 7：30 p. m. I looked around and saw traders needing to get home for 6 ，parents needing to get home to see their children，and . . . Even though I wanted to be home just as much as anyone，something inside me said that I should help this group of 7 .
I picked up my bag and walked toward the desk. I said， "I volunteer!" The gate attendant （服务员） smiled and 8 .
As she was 9 my ticket，I looked around at all the passengers. They could now take their flight and I was happy that I had been able to help. The attendant handed me my boarding pass （登机证） for the later flight and then said. "This is for your 10 . "
I got to my new gate and took a seat next to a power outlet （电源插座） so that my mobile phone would make it through the 11 four hours. I 12 my sales call and then I got a lot of work done.
When my flight started boarding，I was 13 to discover that my new boarding pass was for a seat in first class!
I began to think about what I had done. I did it in the 14 of serving others，and that kindness was 15 to me.
Kindness is the sunshine of social life. In helping others，we shall help ourselves.

People Lives Better Beijing has announced its key goals to improve people's lives under scientific concepts （概念）. The city will continue to increase green and spaces for relaxing in its communities and set up more public facilities，including kindergartens，restaurants，small stores and medical care spaces. And it takes actions to support the increasing number of electric cars in the city. |
That day，I was invited to be a judge of a competition at a college. All of the students had been given a piece of paper with a topic on it.
The first one to speak looked a little uneasy. "My dear friends and judges，" he said loudly， "this is an unfair competition. "
"I have been given the paper，" he continued， "to speak on the topic with just a few minutes' preparation，while those who come after me have more time to prepare their speeches!"
We were shocked at these words but could do nothing for this. He then left the stage and went out of the hall.
Several days later，I met him in parking lot by chance. "Who said life is fair？" asked him，with a smile. He was confused.
Then I pointed to the cars around， "Do you know anything about cars？When new car is introduced into the market，you might hear some nice figures （数字） from the car salesmen. But in fact，your car never works so well as described—because the figures are shown just to say how good a car is. "
"Yes. " he nodded.
"And if you ask the salesmen more about these figures，they will say all the figures are just in ideal road conditions!"
"Yes. " he said again.
"Can you find ideal road conditions in real life？" I asked him，he shook his head. "So that's it. A car will sell well and become the real winner just because it can provide strong power and smooth speed on the worst roads. "
"Don't look for ideal competition conditions. And don't always think about the fairness!" I told him， "Just fight the unfair and come out a real winner!" Then I got into my car.
When I started it and looked back，I noticed he smiled and waved to me. I believed that he knew what he should do in the future.
Wang Shuang was just five when she was dropped at her uncle's and left alone. Football，as it often is，became a way out.
At seven，she was noticed by coach Xu Yilong，who found Wang quick in her playing with others. As the only girl in the boys' team. Wang's performances were excellent，and she was called "Iron Girl". And soon，she sensed the sport's power. Football made her relaxed and realize "whatever happens，football never leaves you alone. "
However，life was not always a smooth ride. Some people laughed at her and always tried to push her down and take away her hopes. It influenced her so much that she lost heart. "They were saying I had no talent at all，Gradually，I felt really so，" Wang once wrote. But never did she stop playing. When she was called up to the national team，aged 17，Wang thought， "Me？Are you sure？" When a world﹣famous club wanted to sign her，she was "excited that an excellent coach thought I was good". It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities. "I felt I received recognition （赏识）. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all. "
Not any "bit of talent"：the girl is praised as China's once﹣in﹣a﹣generation player.
China is a pioneer of women's football in Asia and has won the continental championship （洲际比赛） eight times，including seven straight titles （七连胜） between 1986 and 1999. That was their golden age. Gradually，though，the situation became worse. It is hoped that Wang will encourage the women's football of the country to reach its height in the past.
Coaches usually avoid speaking about players. But when coach Shui was asked about Wang before the match against Vietnam，she couldn't stop mentioning her influence on the team. Wang did not let her team down. Finally she led her team into the last four clash （四分之一决赛）.
"Nobody knows how hard it was，" said Wang after the match. "We overcame difficulties. We also showed our strong hearts. I am proud of my team. "
