Kindness of StrangersAt the store where I worked, I noticed a young boy about ten of shopping alone with his school list. He placed everything in his basket and went to the checkout.The young shop assistant told him the total price, $37.60. The boy was instantly disappointed and said he had only been given $20. He took out one thing at a time until he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said, “I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things ” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girl pooled their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy's extra purchases. So they upgraded his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile. His mother arrived much later to pick him up. Instead of running to the car, he ran back into the store and called out, “Thank you! ”I was so proud of my team that day. They did something wonderful for that boy and also found the pleasure of giving was as great as receiving.The shop assistants were                   .

Fires in AmericanIn some ways, the United States has made great progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the great Chicago fire of 1870, or kill half a town of 2400 people as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Except the Beverly Hill Supper Club Fire in Kentucky, in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the not-enough-attention to the fires.American fire departments are some of the world’s fastest and best equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan’s population, and 40 times as man-made fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. American fire-safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who start very few of those fires.Experts say the fatal(致命的) error is an attitude than fires are not really anyone’s fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime, japan has many wood houses; of the estimated 48 fires in world history that burned more than 12000 buildings, japan has had punishment for negligence(疏忽) can be as high as life imprisonment(监禁).In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But the lessons are aimed at too limited an audience; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches. It is a pity that the United States continues to rely more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors（探测器）in 85 percent of all homes.  According to the passage, there has been only one fire with a death of more than 100 people ______________.
