One Monday morning, I was waiting at the bus stop in Harvard Square. It was very cold, about - 8℃. I had just missed the bus, so I had to stand there on such a cold day, waiting for the next bus to go to the hospital, for my husband would have an operation on his heart. My mind was full of anxiety and negative thoughts (消极的想法) . \"Why didn't I leave two minutes earlier?\" \"What would go wrong with my husband's operation?\" \"Will I get to him before it starts?\"

Among the others at the bus stop was a woman who was about 50 years old. She wore a dowdy(过时的) hat, an old pair of boots and a dark coat, but she had no gloves(-手套). Another woman who looked younger came to the older woman and said, \"Your hands must be very cold. You will get frostbite( 生冻疮) in this weather if you don't wear gloves. \"With these words, she dropped her heavy bag to the ground and began searching inside it. After a while, she took out a pair of purple gloves from her bag, took the older woman's hands and gently placed a glove on each hand, covering one finger at a time. It was like watching a play. \"Thank you. You're so kind. \" The old woman said again and again.

I was deeply moved( 感动)by this act of kindness. A moment ago I was feeling sorry for myself, but now I was able to replace(代替) those feelings with hope, optimism(乐观) and confidence. I thought in this world there were still many people in trouble who were in great need of our help.

Tigers run very fast. They are good at hunting other animals. They usually live alone. But hunters are killing them to make money. Trees and forests are being cut down to make farmland. And there is also a lot of pollution. Tigers are losing their living areas. They even have no enough food. As a result, their number is getting smaller and smaller. They are in great danger.

I think we should do something to help them. We can write to newspapers and magazines about these problems to make more people know the importance of protecting tigers. We can also raise money to help our government build more reserves.
