On a trip to the West, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked to the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a __1__ beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us. Regardless of his __2__£¬ he greeted us in a friendly way.

Once inside, my daughter whispered, “Mom, he __3__.” After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look beyond the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many __4__ him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I was determined to set a good __5__ to my children. Yet sometimes when things didn't go right, being a good example was very __6__. When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the carsick pills in the truck. With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I __7__ myself from the meal and went to get them.

Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even acknowledging (³ÐÈÏ) his __8__. Letting them in first, I said a loud “thank you” to him as I __9__.

When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside __10__ he bought food. I went back and told my family his __11__. Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich. The kids looked __12__ as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the “doorman”£¬ they smiled. When it was time to __13__ our trip, I noticed the “doorman” enjoying his meal. Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily. He then __14__ out his hand for a handshake and I gratefully accepted. I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes — tears of __15__. What happened next drew great surprise: I gave the “doorman” a __16__£¡ He pulled away, with tears __17__ his cheeks.

Back in the truck, I fell into deep __18__. While we can't choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude (¸Ð¼¤). I said thanks to a man who had __19__ opened a door for me, and I also said thanks for that __20__ to teach my children by example.
