When Danny Wallace, 26, got bored, he put an ad on the world wide web reading simply，“Join Me. Send a passport photo.” A year and a half later his east London flat is the headquarters for a global internet-based “club” whose members carry out good deeds for strangers every Friday.
It's not common for people in London to talk to strangers. If you see someone struggling with something, part of the brain goes “I want to help”. But the trained part of the brain says，“They will think you are mad or going to mug them”, so you walk away.
Join Me now has about 3,000 members around the world who do an act of kindness every Friday. For example, I'm usually out on Friday so I go for one of the standard acts—the unexpected cup of coffee. You might be sitting in a cafe and see an old man in the corner drinking coffee or tea, and you walk up with another cup of whatever they are drinking, and say,“I've bought you a coffee” and walk away. It's a pleasure to see the look of surprise on their faces. There can be some suspicion, but I think that was mostly in the early days when I didn't know how to do it properly. I would walk up quite nervously like I was doing something wrong and I didn't know when to leave. In the end, I learned through trial and error. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn't. I discovered that you have to walk up with confidence and humour and not “get in their faces”. You say,“This is for you”, then you go. It's hit-and-run kindness. And there is no point in doing it half-heartedly. You've got to do it because you really mean it.
Join Me is without geographical boundaries, but there are quite a few members in London, and such stories about things happen on the underground or on the buses. One lady got on the bus and put a ￡10 note down and said，“That's for me and the next nine people.” So at every stop, anyone who got on was told it was paid for. A lot of people were doing this sort of thing anyway. For them it's an excuse or reason to do something nice for a complete stranger, and it gives them the confidence to walk up and start chatting.

One day the employees of a large company in St.Louis,Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.The sign said,“Yesterday the person who has been hindering(阻碍) your growth in this company passed away.We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”
At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.
The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects.Everyone wondered:“Who is this person that was hindering my progress?Well, at least he’s no longer here.”
One by one the employees got closer to the coffin(棺材) and when they looked inside it they became speechless.They stood over the coffin,shocked and in silence,as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.There was a mirror inside the coffin.Everyone who looked inside it could see himself.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:“There is only one person who can set limits to your growth:it is YOU.”You are the only person who can revolutionize(彻底改变) your life.You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success.

On a diet? Then consider sitting by the window the next time you eat out. The researchers measured and mapped 1 design of each restaurant and then used meal checks 2 （track） what diners ordered and how it related to where they sat.
The results were telling: people sitting 3 （far） from the front door ate the fewest salads and 4 （be） 73 per cent more likely to order dessert. Those 5 （seat） at a dark table ate heavier food and ordered more of it, 6 diners sitting at high-top bar tables ordered more salads and fewer desserts.
The darker it is, the more “invisible” you might feel, the less easy 7 is to see how much you're eating and the less guilty you might feel. Seeing the sunlight, 8 （passer-by） or trees outside might make you more aware 9 how you look, might make you think about walking or might inspire you to choose a green salad.
The researchers also noted that slim diners chewed around 15 times per mouthful, three chews more than heavier diners. By 10 （eat） more slowly, the diner spends less time it takes for the brain to fell full.

Childhood is a time when there are little duties. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved no matter when he may do. It?s impossible for him to be given such much again in his later life. But a child is not so free to do as he wishes it. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he had done wrong.
When the young man starts to make their own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents. Therefore, he can no longer expect others to pay his food, his clothes, and his room. He has to work hard to live comfortable. If so, he can have the great happiness of build up his own position in society.
