A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose pleasant smell filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mum pulled over. “What are
22、 you doing?” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and wed be stuck there, so far from home. Fortunately, that wasnt the case. My mum hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “Itll just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows. Impatiently, I cast my eyes
23、 towards the edge of the road before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mum reappeared empty-handed.

24、t did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the waiter.” “What?” She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially those who havent received any in a while.”I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we went on with
25、our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave your name?” To this she answered instantly, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”Suddenly, still thinking about Mums deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that

29、mazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received them. While we were laughing and talking merrily, we received the news that the garage had got our car repaired. Paragraph 2:As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road. I asked Mum to pull over and paced
30、 quickly into the flower shop, where a bunch of flowers in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send Mum the sweet flowers. Mum tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger at her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.
