2．Paying it forward is a concept that involves doing something good for someone in response to a good deed done on your behalf or a gift you received．When you pay it forward，however，you don't repay the person who did something nice for you．Instead，you do something nice for someone else．
Recently，an inspiring note found inside a random book has inspired thousands of people to pay it forward．
Ashley Jost was shopping at Target when a book caught hex eye．The 27-year-old bought the book Girl Stop Apologizing and began reading it when she got home．After a few minutes her dog started barking so she put the book aside．When she got back，she noticed something on the ground． "A five-dollar note fell out， " Jost said．
She looked through the book，and in one of the last pages，there was a note that read， "To the person who buys this book：I am having a tough day．I thought maybe I could brighten someone else's with this little surprise．Go and buy a coffee，a hamburger or a face mask．Practice some self care today．Remember that you are loved，you are amazing，and you are strong． -Lisa"
Jost decided to post a photo of the note and the money on Twitter and it went like a virus．
People are promising their own random acts of kindness．
"In that moment，I didn't necessarily need the pick-me-up，but I feel obligated（有義務的） to share it，and I'm hearing back from people who did，" Jost said． "The ripple effect is pretty unbelievable．
After seeing her Twitter post，Lisa mailed Jost a card． "She said it made her cry in a good way，" Jost said．But Lisa still didn't give away who she was．She left no return address．Lisa wrote it had been a difficult time in her life and she just wanted "to create something positive-she never really expected this to happen the way it has．"

Old Man Donovan was a mean man who hated children.He threw rocks at them and even shot at them with a shotgun.At least that's what we had heard.
His small farm bordered our neighborhood where my younger sister，Leigh Ann，and I lived when we were growing up.His farm was long，narrow，and quaint.It held two treasures.One was his beautiful fruit.
There were many varieties of fruit：pears，apples，and lots more I just can't think of.The fruit naturally drew the children to his land.It made them into thieves.But my sister and I didn't dare to take his fruit because of the horrible rumors we had heard about Old Man Donovan.
One summer day，we were playing in a nearby field.It was time to head back home.My sister and I were feeling very daring that day.There was a short cut to our house that went through the Donovan farm.We thought he wouldn't be able to see us run across his property around the luscious（可口味美的） fruit trees.We were almost through the farm when we heard， "Hey，girls!" in a gruff （粗啞的），low voice.We stopped dead in our tracks!There we were，face to face with Old Man Donovan.Our knees were shaking.We had visions of rocks pounding our bodies and bullets piercing our hearts.
"Come here，" he said，reaching up to one of his apple trees.Still shaking，we went over to him.He held out several ripe，juicy，red apples. "Take these home，" he commanded.We took the apples with surprised hearts and ran all the way home.Of course，Leigh Annand I ate the apples.
As time went on，we often went through Old Man Donovan's farm，and he kept on giving us more luscious fruit.One day，we stopped by to see him when he was on his front porch（門廊）.We talked to him for hours.While he was talking，we realized that we had found the other hidden treasure：the sweet，kind heart hidden behind his gruff voice.Soon，he was one of our favorite people to talk to.
Paragraph 1：
Every summer，we would visit Mr.Donovan and talk to him._________.
Paragraph 2：
The next winter，word got around that Old Man Donovan had died._________.組卷：9難度：0.3
