Ⅲ.阅读理解
Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,
I was driving to my parents’home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at
a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to
visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款机), I
said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke began
pouring from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way in to the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank­you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership —a shop selling cars —was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble. They
quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment. When I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”，and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you”— two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.
