strange

in order to是"为了"的意思吗? ✅

I used to believe politeness was a thing of the past. Very seldom had I met a __1__ human being in this modern age of the so-called Generation X.

Recently, I had to change my __2__, when I came face to face with just such a human being. I had gone to a coffee place, with two of my grown-up daughters. The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to __3__ the stairs in order to find a(n) __4__ table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were going down the stairs, where the __5__ space made climbing down only possible in a single __6__ with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.

Just as I was in the middle of my going down, a gentleman entered by the main __7__ of the coffee place which was in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed __8__ by the man who would want to go up __9__. I kept coming down as fast as I could, holding on to the bannister (扶手). My daughters were already down, looking up at me and hoping I would reach them before the __10__ started up the stairs.

Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man standing near the __11__ holding it open. I looked back, thinking he was still there trying to __12__ whether to go in or find another less crowded place. But later I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and felt bad that we didn’t even thank him who was actually holding the door open for us to pass through __13__ going up.

We applauded his thoughtfulness. Such well-mannered people are hard to find these days when pushing roughly is very __14__ in our advanced but aggressive society. Till date, I remember this gentleman and __15__ God to make more human beings like him.

It’s amazing how one dollar can change the culture of a school.

On the first day of school we put a __7__ folded into a heart into one of the leaders’ lockers with a piece of paper that __8__, “Buy yourself a snack.” We hoped to give away small gifts every day. We didn’t know the __9__ it would have.

People went wild over it and everyone was talking about who might be doing the acts of kindness and __10__ that they might do something too.

And lots of notes are on the thanks board saying, “Thanks to whoever started.”

Now I actually expect to go to school to have the chance to __13__ people up. I hope kindness will __14__ to other schools. If anybody is struggling with being __15__ at school and work, I totally suggested doing acts of kindness.
