Send a passport photo.” A year and a half later his east London flat is the headquarters for a global internet-based “club” whose members carry out good deeds for strangers every Friday.Its not common for people in London to talk to strangers. If you see someone struggling with something, part of the brain goes “I want to help”. But the trained part of the brain says，“They will think you are mad or going to mug them”, so you walk away.Join Me now has about 3,000 members around the world who do an act of kindness every Friday. For example, Im usually out on Friday so I go for one of the standard actsthe unexpected cup of coffee. You might be sitting in a cafe and see an old man in the corner drinking coffee or tea, and you walk up with another cup of whatever they are drinking, and say,“Ive bought you a coffee” and walk away. Its a pleasure to see the look of surprise on their faces. There can be some suspicion, but I think that was mostly in the early days when I didnt know how to do it properly. I would walk up quite nervously like I was doing something wrong and I didnt know when to leave. In the end, I learned through trial and error. Sometimes it worked, other times it didnt. I discovered that you have to walk up with confidence and humour and not “get in their faces”. You say,“This is for you”, then you go. Its hit-and-run kindness. And there is no point in doing it half-heartedly. Youve got to do it because you really mean it.Join Me is without geographical boundaries, but there are quite a few members in London, and such stories about things happen on the underground or on the buses. One lady got on the bus and put a 10 note down and said，“Thats for me and the next nine people.” So at every stop, anyone who got on was told it was paid for. A lot of people were doing this sort of thing anyway. For them its an excuse or reason to do something nice for a complete stranger, and it gives them the confidence to walk up and start chatting.1.When Londoners see someone in trouble, they .A.often give a handB.stop and ask questionsC.pretend not to have seen itD.telephone the police2.According to the passage, members of Join Me often .A.put an advertisement on the worldwide webB.go out and make friends with strangersC.do an act of kindness every FridayD.buy coffees for the strangers3.The underlined expression in the third paragraph possibly means .A.finding something very difficultB.doing something without much effortC.making a few mistakesD.experimenting to get the right result4.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Hit-and-run KindnessB.History of Join MeC.Danny Wallace and Join MeD.Why not Join MeOne day the employees of a large company in St.Louis,Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.The sign said,“Yesterday the person who has been hindering(阻碍) your growth in this company passed away.We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects.Everyone wondered:“Who is this person that was hindering my progress?Well, at least hes no longer here.” One by one the employees got closer to the coffin(棺材) and when they looked inside it they became speechless.They stood over the coffin,shocked and in silence,as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.There was a mirror inside the coffin.Everyone who looked inside it could see himself.
