2、 Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that

my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors (传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was

the newest one in the training

department.

My boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting

back,” he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help

those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for

example.” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say.

I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought

us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and

the top of her green apron were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning

supplies. At least she had a job!

At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague

whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her

as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish,

I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off was

than this poor woman. I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I

felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later,

my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her

position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read

it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call

her next time you’re looking for work …”
