off,and they started to see them as annoyances.By the 1970s many parks banned feeding the creatures.”可推断,在20世纪60年代左右,城市松鼠开始失宠。

We were worrying about what could be done.But after waiting in vain for a considerable time,Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek for help.God knows how far we had driven!When we arrived,the receptionist was surprised,but warmly helped us contact the garage.There,the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us,talking about how great that day was.It amazed me what random actions of kindness
could mean to the people who received it.While we were laughing and talking merrily,the garage got our car repaired.
Paragraph 2:
As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road.I asked Mom to stop and paced quickly into the flower shop,where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye.Having witnessed the effect of kindness,I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers.Soon,the heavenly scent filled the car again.Mom tried to conceal her excitement,but the glittering tears failed her.Through this trip,I discovered that,despite my occasional anger towards her,I actually felt proud of her.This was the trip of my life.
