My father, who was always drunk and angry, beat me more and more every day. He always locked the door when he went away and kept the key in his pocket. One day I found an old saw (锯子) that he hid in the roof. When I was alone in the house, I started to make a hole on the floor under the big table.

The next day my father said, “Huck, go to the river and catch some fish for breakfast. Quickly! And don’t try anything. Remember, I’m watching you!”

While I was fishing by the river, I saw an empty boat nearby. “A boat!” I thought, happily, “This is my chance to escape. I’ll hide the boat near some trees and use it tonight!”

When my father went to town that afternoon, I got my saw and started to work on the hole. It was late afternoon when I finished making the hole.

“I did a good job,” I thought, looking at the hole. “Now I’ll get my father’s gun, I have a plan…”

I looked outside the window and there was nobody there. I quickly escaped through the hole. Then I ran into the woods to hunt a wild pig, I found one. I shot it and took it back to the house and let the pig’s blood fall on the wooden floor of the house. Then I pulled some of my hair out and put it on my father’s axe (斧子) with some of the pig’s blood. I took the pig’s body outside and put it in a big bag with some rocks, and threw it into the river.

“This way people will think  ▲ !” I thought. “They’ll come and look for my body in the river.” This idea made me smile.

I waited until it was dark and got into the boat and went to Jackson’s Island. I knew about Jackson’s Island because Tom, Ben, Joe and I had a lot of fun adventures there.

（Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain）

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness. But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate (激活) an area of the brain called Striatum. Research also shows that kindness improves people’s mood (情绪). But why and how does it happen? Here are a number of different ways.

Being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around you may be smiling, too. This is especially true for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good. So why not set off that chain (链条) of good feelings to people around?

Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself. Similarly, charities (慈善) also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.

In another recent research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone’s spirits. Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you’re getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.

The story doesn’t end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you’re in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn’t it?

A．Science B．Wealth C．Invention
