简单的举止改变人的一生-1
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school%26#46; His name was Kyle%26#46; It looked like he was carrying all of his books%26#46; I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd%26#46;" I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend the following afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on%26#46;
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him%26#46; They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt%26#46; His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him%26#46; He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes%26#46;
My heart went out to him%26#46; So, I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye%26#46;
I handed him his glasses and said, "Those guys are jerks%26#46; They really should get lives%26#46;"
He looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face%26#46; It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude%26#46; I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived%26#46; It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before%26#46; He said he had gone to private school before coming to this school%26#46;
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before%26#46; We talked all the way home, and I carried his books%26#46; He turned out to be a pretty cool kid%26#46; I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends%26#46; He said yes%26#46; We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him%26#46; And my friends thought the same of him%26#46; Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again%26#46; I stopped him and said, "Damn boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books%26#46; Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends%26#46;
When we were seniors, we began to think about college%26#46; Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke%26#46; I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem%26#46; He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship%26#46; Kyle was valedictorian of our class%26#46;
I teased him all the time about being a nerd%26#46; He had to prepare a speech for graduation%26#46; I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak%26#46; ( to be continued)

当我还在上高一时，有一天，我看到我们班的一个孩子正步行回家。他叫凯尔。他似乎背着所有的书。我心想：“为什么有人在周五就把所有的书都带回家呢？他肯定是个书呆子。”我的周末计划得非常详细（先是派对，在第二天下午和我的朋友踢足球）。因此我耸了耸肩，走开了。
正走着，我看到一帮孩子朝他跑去。他们追上他，把他所有的书都从怀里扔到地上并把他绊倒，结果他摔在污泥里，眼镜也被打飞了，我看到它落在离他10英尺远的草地上。他抬起头时，我看到他眼里极度悲伤的表情。
我的心也随他而去。因此，我慢步向他跑过去。在他爬着寻找眼镜时，我看到了他眼中的泪水。
我把眼镜递给他，说道：“那些家伙都是些蠢蛋，他们真该遭到报应。”
他看了看我，说：“嗨，谢谢了！”笑容在他脸上展现。正是这样的笑显示出了真正的感激。我帮他捡起书，问他住在哪里。原来他住得离我很近。于是我就问他，怎么以前我从没有见过他呢，他说在来这所学校以前他上的是私立学校。
以前，我从不与私立学校的孩子交往。我们一路聊着回家，我帮他拿着书。他原来竟是一位非常讨人喜欢的孩子，我问他是否周六想跟我及我的朋友一起踢足球。他答应了。整个周末我们都在一起，对凯尔了解得越多，我越是喜欢他。我的朋友也都这么认为。到了周一早晨，凯尔又要背上那个巨大的书包了。我制止他，说：“傻孩子，你每天背这么一大堆书，想练就一身强壮的肌肉呀！”他只是笑，并把一半书都递给了我。接下来的四年里，凯尔和我成为最好的朋友。
到了高年级后，我们开始考虑上大学的事。凯尔决定去乔治敦，而我要去杜克。我知道我们永远都是朋友，距离决不会成为问题。他以后想当一名医生，而我则要用足球奖学金经商。凯尔是我们班致告别词的学生代表。
我总是取笑他是一个书呆子。他必须为毕业准备一个演讲。我很庆幸不是我要站在那儿演讲。（待续）
