go out there and pet itI hadnt touched a cat or a dog in over 20 yearsI spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxedWhat he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardlyIt was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my careOver the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the catEvery yard period，a group of prisoners gathered thereThey stood around talking and taking turns petting the catThese were guys you wouldnt usually find talking to each otherSeveral times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisonersBowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting itThe cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shapePeople said that the cat came to the right placeHes getting treated like a kingThis was truebut as 1 watched 1 was also thinking about what the cat was doing for usThere was a lot of talk about whats wrong with prisons in AmericaWe need more programsWe need more psychologists or treatment of various kindsSome may even talk about making prisons more kindBut I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindnessNot receive it，but give itAfter more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value thats encouragedIts often seen as a weaknessInstead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weakThe cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men hereBy simply saying，”I need some help here”，he did something important for usHe needed usAnd we needed to be

greatBPeople say time is relativeBut relative to whatI do know that sometimes time“seems”to be moving slowerRemember Christmas Eve when you were a child? It was the longest night of the yearIt lasted forever! And now it seems like I just paid my bill yesterdayand its due again!People tell me all too frequentlyI need more time! Oh ，really?Mother Teresa，Michelangelo，and Helen Keller all had 24 hours a dayLook what they did with their time!Is it that we need to manage our time betteror our priorities(重点)?Youve heard the expression“first things first”The first step in understanding the power of time is to understand that it is limitedWhy is it then that some people get a lot more done? We know the answerThey use their time smartlyOne day an expert on time management was speaking to a group of students and announced a quizHe pulls out a wide-mouthed jarNext，he places about a dozen fist-sized rocks，one at a time , into the jat, until no more will fit“Is it full?”he asks”Yes，”responds the class”Oh really?”he asksSo he takes out a bucket of gravel(砂砾)。which he manages to work down into the spaces between the larger rocks“Is it full now?”he asksWising up，one answered，Probably not”Sure enough。he takes out a bucket of sand，which he pours into the empty spaces”Is it full now?”he asks”N0 1”reply the students confidentlySo he takes a glass of water and fills it inThen he asks，“What is my point?One said，No matter how full your schedule is，if you try really hard，you can always fit some more things into it！”“No，”the speaker replied，“It tells us if you dont put the big rocks in first, youll never get them in at allWhat are the big rocks? The things you should put in to your jar firstThe rich dont get 25 hours and the poor dont get 23we all get the sameLets use them wisely! Invest your time wisely!26The text is written mainlyAto explain the origin of the expression
