A
Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate
compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work
part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are
out main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last
Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man
walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash
(现金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if
we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or
twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt
in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was
sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but
I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked
more pitiable. “Change it to me, ” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on
the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not
allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I
reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught
me compassion.

B
Blameless
I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different
from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I
became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.
In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad
happened.
“Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.
“This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or
the dishwasher broke.
From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a
place for blame at the dinner table.
But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces
and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer
Jane died.
In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida
to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the
youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver’s license(驾
照)，Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her
license to everyone she met.
The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first part of the trip,
but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in
South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the
wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just
didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads
without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.
Jane was killed immediately.
I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the
Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me
to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.
When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters
sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken. They
hugged(拥抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters.
They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use
her crutches(拐杖).
To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said,
“We’re so glad that you’re alive. ”
I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was
driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs. White said, “Jane’s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will
ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full
and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death? ”
They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married
several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a
mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.
60. How did the accident occur?
A. Amy didn’t know what to do when she saw the stop sign.
B. Amy didn’t slow down so their car ran into a truck.
C. Amy didn’t stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car.
D. Amy didn’t get off the highway at a crossroads.
61. The Whites did not blame Amy for Jane’s death because _____.
A. Amy was badly injured herself and they didn’t want to add to her pain
