Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days.I was discouraged, tired, and plain sad. My focus was on me.After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials I was.

I expressed my upset state to my mother, hoping for some pity.Instead, she said, “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too.Why don't you make her some cookies and take them to her this afternoon?”

I didn't really want to, but decided that I didn't want to go back to my other problems just yet.I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate.Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small note of empathy(共鸣）.

That afternoon I dropped by my friend's house.I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit. Before she could say anything I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” The look that came over Jamie's face was one that I could never put into words.It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun；it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.

I got back into the car and for some amazing reason. I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barrie attempted to describe, “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” 21 The author made cookies and arranged them on a plate______.

BRITAIN is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have pros and cons. Good news

Free museums. No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities. Pop music. Britain is the only country to rival (与……比敌) the US on this score. Black cabs. London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never

enough of them at weekends or night.

Choice of food. Visitors can find everything from Ethiopian to Swedish restaurants. Fashion. Not only do fashion followers love deeply and respect highly brand names

such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too. Bad news

Poor service. “It’s part of the image of the place. People can dine out on the

rudeness they have experienced,” says Professor Tony Seaton, of Luton University’s International Tourism Research Center.

Poor public transport. Trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists,

although the over-crowded London tube is unbelievable popular.

Lack of languages. Speaking slowly and clearly may not get many foreign visitors very

far, even in the tourist traps .

Rain. Still in the number one complaint.

No air-conditioning. So that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the
