题目内容：

about a month ago, while in the drive through at Starbucks, I noticed a woman in a car behind me who appeared to be having a bad day. There were two kids in the back who seemed to have too muchat 8 am on a Sunday morning, because they were shouting loudly. Themoved slowly and at one point while I was pulling the car forward, the sad woman behind memy car. I could tell thisher. The entire time that I waited in line for my coffee this woman didn’t.

Looking back at her I could tell she was wondering “Why me? Why today?” When Iup and paid for my coffee I requested that the barista(咖啡吧员) of Starbucks give the woman behind me a smile card and paid for her coffee.

Just 30 minutes later I was againin line at Starbucks. I heard a slam of a car door but thought nothing of it. I waswhen the same woman came up to my driver’s side window. Sheme a twenty-dollar bill and the same smile card I had given to her. She smiled and said, “These are for you. You are theone who gave these to me, right? All I need you to do is ask the barista to give theback to me.” It was amazing! It was as if this woman had been waiting to show herfor what I had done!

When she got back into hertoday she was all smiles. I could tell she had the same feeling as I had on that early Sunday morning. It was nice to have my coffee paid for, but what made me feel even better was seeing the happiness and smile on her face.

As I pulled out of the drive-thru, she waved and yelled out, “Have aday!” I yelled back “You too!” and waved her goodbye.
