Ⅱ. Read and complete the following tasks.
Jeff was a barber with a small shop in a quiet town. One

winter morning, a young man in shabby clothes stood outside
for a long time. It seemed that he was so cold.
"I need a haircut for an important job interview*, but I
only have $1. It must be not enough. " the young man said in a low voice. Jeffthought for a while and smiled, "Don't worry. You should look nice for theinterview."As Jeff was cutting the young man's hair, he talked to the young man. Helearned the guy lived alone in the city, and this interview might change his life.After the haircut, Jeff gave him a clean suit. "You'll look nicer," he said. Theyoung man's eyes were filled with tears. He tried to give Jeff his only $1, but
Jeff rejected, "Just be kind to others next time when you can."
Ten years later, Jeff still gave free haircuts to poor or old people. The
business of his shop was not so good, so he couldn't pay the rent*. Just then, a
well-dressed man walked in. He smiled at Jeff and said to the landlord*, "I'll pay
all his rent-past and future." Jeff was shocked. When the man took off his hat,
Jeff recognized him right away—it was the young man from years ago! Now he
was a successful boss with a big company.
"That haircut and suit from you gave me courage," he said, "I've worked
hard all these years, and I never forget your kindness. Today I'm here to repay
you and keep my promise of passing on kindness." Jeff felt really moved—his
small act of kindness grew into something beautiful. It connected two hearts
across ten years.
