Later she repeated it in an interview on a TV show, and it soon caught peoples eyes and made people think about how small kind actions could make our daily lives better. One rainy night, a woman was standing at a bus stop waiting for the bus. A man came by on a motorcycle and offered to give her a ride. Of course, the woman said no. It would be crazy to accept a ride from a stranger on a motorcycle. Suddenly the man reached out and put a 50-dollar bill in her hand. He said, Please take a taxi. It hurts me to see you standing here in the rain. Before she could refuse, he left quickly on his motorcycle. Kind actions can be contagious. Once, a woman was going through a toll station(收费站) on a highway. Instead of paying for one ticket, she asked for two. She said to the toll collector, The second ticket is for the car behind me. She didnt know the person in that car. She just did it without thinking more. So when the next car came up, the toll collector said to the driver, You dont have to pay. The woman in the blue car just paid for you. The driver was so surprised that he decided to pay for the person behind him. This continued with 14 drivers that day.So just imagine what the world will be like if we all practice random actions of kindness from time to time?（1）When the man on the motorcycle offered to give a ride, the woman probably felt he is_.

But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?In the Han Dynasty (汉朝), students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. They were usually two or three layers (层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones (砚) and paper in the boxes.Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the hip-pocket. The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the Peoples Republic of China, military rucksacks (军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs (时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use.
