阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school, I was driving to my parents’ s home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple. They said they would take me. We chatted and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. I wrote them a thank-you note. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in the morning. In the late afternoon I found that I'd left the lights on all day and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford " I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so later, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever written him and say "thank you", and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you”- two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Nowadays the business of fast food is developing at a rapid speed. Have you ever thought twice before deciding to eat fast food Even if it is easy to buy and cheap, the risks outweigh the five minutes of satisfaction that fast food brings. There are many risks when it comes to eating food that's made in just a few seconds.
What you eat can affect your health. People who are addicted to fast food are more likely to suffer from various life-threatening diseases. Obesity (肥胖）can come when fast food is bought often. Fast food is made from a lot of fats and high calories. If it isn't removed, then you can grow to become obese. Even a small quantity of fast food contains many calories. People are fooled by its appearance and they tend to eat more. Thus, without knowing, they consume a lot of calories. What's worse, obesity isn't the only risk. Heart disease is also a danger. The more fats, sugar and salt you eat, the weaker your heart can grow.
Another concern for most consumers is that they can't keep track of the sources of the food supplies in fast food restaurants. They never know about the living conditions of the animals killed for meat in those restaurants, like cows, pigs, and chickens. A recent study has suggested that bacteria have been found in about 38% fast food. Even some soft drinks are now infected by food-borne illnesses that usually come from meat.
Although fast food is one of the easiest and cheapest ways of eating, the health risks aren't worth your life, and risking your life for something that isn't good for you could cost thousands of dollars in hospital bills. It is important to eat healthily and make good choices when deciding what to put in your body. Don't be lazy and pick up fast food on your way home from work.
