Life will be peaceful if you always do kind things. I teach my daughters to develop a habit of 1 others. The little acts of 2 give you chances to provide service for others. They can make you feel how 3 it is to be kind and helpful.
We 4 in a rural (乡村的) area. Most of what we 5 is beautiful nature. One of the exceptions to the 6 is the rubbish that some people throw out of their car windows as they drive along the rural roads. One of the few 7 of living there is short of 8 public services,such as rubbish collection,which is common in the 9 .
A helping behavior that I practice regularly with my daughters is 10 rubbish in our neighborhood. My daughters often have a match to see who can collect the most rubbish. They will often say to me in a(n) 11 voice, "There's some rubbish,Daddy— 12 the car!"And if we have time, we will often get out of our car and pick it up. 13 it may seem strange, we do it. In fact, we 14 it. We pick up rubbish in parks, on sidewalks, almost anywhere.
One day I saw a stranger picking up rubbish on the road. I stopped. He 15 his head and smiled,"I saw you doing this with your family. It's a good 16 to protect our environment."
There are many other ways to 17 kindness for others. You may share a dinner with a beggar,visit 18 old people in the nursing home,or help the blind 19 the street. You can think of something that can be finished 20 but helpful. It is fun, selfsatisfying, and what's more, it can set a good example. Helping others is helping yourself.
