阅读下面的记叙文，回答下列各题。

还原善意的本来模样

       ①故事发生在加拿大魁北克省的一个小城。

       ②一个风雪飘飞的傍晚，寒冷和积雪让往日川流不息的马路变得静谧而安详。在风雪的簇拥中，一辆白色的轿车像年迈的老人慢慢地向前蠕动，车上的鲁尼兹小小翼翼地驾驶着，他接到了儿子高烧住在医院的电话，作为父亲他必须赶到医院，守候在儿子身边。他心急如焚又全神贯注。

       ③走出不远，鲁尼兹便看到在前边不远处，有一个蹒跚的身影在晃动。善良的鲁尼兹似乎连想都没想，就把车子缓缓地停在那个身影旁边。“请问，需要我的帮助吗？”他探出头大声地问道。

④上车的是一个约有六十开外的老者，说前面不远处的农场就是自己的家，上午出来办事，没有想到回来时，公交汽车因雪大停运了，只好徒步走回去。

       ⑤主动搭载与人方便对鲁尼兹来说是再寻常不过的一件事了，可他没有想到这一次的善举却非比寻常。

       ⑥车在一个长长的斜坡上滑行，迎面有一辆矫车喘息着踉跄驶过来，鲁尼兹下意识的开始踩刹车，然而，意想不到的事情发生了，车像醉汉一般，固执地调转车头，向路边撞去，一头撞在一棵大树上。

       ⑦等鲁尼兹醒来，他已经躺在医院里，所幸，他只是断了两根肋骨，脑部受到震荡。他急于知道老人的情形，护士告诉他，老人做了开颅手术，还在昏迷中。鲁尼兹心里猛地一沉：他的好心，竟会给老人带来如此深重的重创，这是他没有想到的，他又想起自己不太富裕的家庭，他不知该如何应对这场突如其来的灾难。

       ⑧老人的家人来了，很友好地握了鲁尼兹的手，安慰并感谢他，感谢他对老人在风雪中的帮助。即便如此，老人的家人请来的律师还是如期而至，按着当地的法律，鲁尼兹要为自己的过失负责，承担老人百分之七十的医疗费。

       ⑨那一年的冬天似乎特别的寒冷，鲁尼兹觉得心像浸在冰冷的白色里，不知什么时候能走出这长长的冬季。

       ⑩老人在沉沉昏睡了二十多天后奇迹般地醒过来了，谁也没有想到，清醒后的老人，开口说的第一句话竟是“要感恩，不要赔偿，善意都是美好的，不要伤了好人的心。”家人愣住了，接着，律师也怔住了，继而，小城里的人被震住了，老人肺腑之言在人们心里引起了共鸣。小城被感动了，人们纷纷走上街头，打着“让善意不再尴尬”“拯救爱心”的条幅，为仁慈的老人募捐。一时间，爱心像空中飘飞的雪花纷至沓来，收到的善款之多，超出了人们的想象，更令人钦佩的是，老人又把这些善款全部捐出来，成立了“爱心救助基金”，专门用来帮助那些因爱而遭遇尴尬的好心人。

       ⑪多少年过去了，老人早已离开了人世，但以老人名字命名的基金却像滚雪球一样的发展壮大，爱与被爱也宛如吻合的齿轮，互相带动，循环传送，小城的人们把人性中最高贵的品德﹣﹣仁慈善良演绎的淋漓尽致。

       ⑫在魁北克省举行的最受爱戴的人物评选活动中，人们毫无争议的写上老人的名字﹣﹣卢森斯，人们这样评价老人：爱原本就是喜悦的关怀和无求的付出，当爱心遭遇法律的碰撞，善意被扭曲时，是老人还原了善意的本来模样，让人们可以毫不戒备地去爱，再没有什么能比生活在和谐有情的社会更让人愉悦和欢欣的了。

       ⑬“照亮世间的不是日月，而是人心”。倘若赠人玫瑰，手留尖刺，谁还愿赠与？每一颗爱心都是真诚美丽的，都应该得到尊重和赞赏；每一个善意都是美好的，都应该馥郁芬芳。

    I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

    War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

    The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute without a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, weeping. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart,

    Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”

    Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
