He________ ________ ________a pack of cigarette a day．

24、   My morning started out as usual. I snoozed (打盹) twice, took care of my three cats, and then raced out the door for my mid-morning appointment.

After I finished my appointment, I was hungry. I stopped at a restaurant to order a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) to take home and eat while working.

Since it was a little before noon, there was a long line waiting for the order. A woman, who I later learned was Marcella, was paying at the register (柜台). She asked the woman behind her in line if she would like a drink and then asked me. We both said no, but she continued to pay for both of our meals—even though we were strangers. I asked Marcella why she did this, and she said that someone once did something similar for her. The person asked that she might pay it forward someday and she was making good on her promise.

Before I left, she gave me a warm hug and asked only that I do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I sat and reflected back on her kindness. Marcella didn't need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it brightened my day. Not because I got to keep my $15, but because she was kind—and did not want to receive anything in return.

As I promised her, I plan on paying her kindness forward. Maybe, just maybe, I'll make a small difference in someone else's life, and the ripple effect (连锁反应) will continue, because that's what being human is all about—being kind, even to a stranger.

25、   Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.

Be calm（冷静）.Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved（卷入）in a fight will be punished, no matter who started it. There are no winners in a fight.

Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn’t stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.

________.Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also，you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight，he may get hurt and be punished. Then，try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.

A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box.

I had to wave my hands about and acted as if I was deep in conversation.

Luckily，the rain began to stop after about ten minutes．“Okay，Mum，” I said loudly into the phone，“I’ll see you later Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box “I’m sorry I took so long,”I said to the man．

“Oh, I don’t want to use the phone, ”he replied, smiling．“I’ve just come to repair it. It’s out of order．you see.” I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete fool(傻瓜). That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!
