Free Sweets in His Taxi to Delight and Heal(治愈)
Mansoor Khalid, a 37-year-old electrical engineer from Pakistan, has been driving a yellow taxi in New York City since 1996. In 2010, his son, Saad, was born with a heart disease. Every time Mr. Khalid visited him in the hospital after his day shift(轮班), he would bring much _________ to drink during nights to take care of his son. He even gave some to the doctors and nurses there, who called him "coffee man".
Last April, Saad died at 18 months old. Although Mr. Khalid was so sad, he had to _________ to work. After his son's death, he got into the habit of buying some sweets for his passengers, which nearly cost him $300 every month.
From his experience in the hospital with his son, Mr. Khalid learned that giving to others could at least _________ his feeling of loss, if not heal it.
"I'd like to buy something for people; I feel _________," Mr. Khalid said. "When you give something from your hand, someone gives a smile to you in return.”
Since then, he has become famous on the Internet. His kind behavior _________ a lot of customers, with more pickups from fans who send their positions to him on Twitter or Facebook.
But he doesn't expect the 13,000 other yellow taxis to do the same. The $300 a month Mr. Khalid spends on candy would _________ help many people to support their families for a time. Actually, it is not a small sum.
"If you think about it, you will _________ why he does it, after all, you don't get that sort of kindness very often." said Juan Miranda, who drives Mr. Khalid's taxi during the nights.
"Everybody is sometimes unhappy and stressed. Living in New York City is not very easy, so when passengers see all the candies, chocolates, they will cheer up in a short time," Mr. Khalid explained. "Some people even start crying with _________."
