    Sometimes, you feel down or unhappy and it is hard to come back to your high spirits. So if you're having a bad day and need aboost, then help is just a click away.

    A website is trying to offer people positive(积极的) messages from strangers to cheer them up. It announces to be" the nicest place on the

Internet",where happy people can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits.

    The website lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors' spirits. The website was created by Jeff Lam and is considered to help many people out when they feel low. The well-known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend I auren were having one of those bad days.

    "We tried to become cheerful, but none of the usual methods seemed to be working. Not music. Not food. What we hoped was something positive, honest and good. So with only a camera and work-free weekend, we created 'The Nicest Place On The Internet',"he explained on his website.

    One user of the website, Joseph Meehan, 27, from Birmingham, said," It's a fun and exciting website. I visit it every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family. I think it could really be a help to people who are feeling down or sad. It may even stop them from doing something stupid. You can also post your video to the website, and they add it to the series. It's very easy to share the love."

    Mr. Lam is now working on a new project that allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers. The idea is that strangers send an audio

(音频的) diary by leaving a voicemail so that anyone can listen to it.

    As a teenager, I volunteered at Loaves and Fishes, a program my mother started. We1meals to anyone who showed up, most of them were people in Minneapolis. When I spoke to them, they didn't look me in the eye, and they were rarely2. I wanted to shout, "Hey, we`re doing a (n)3thing here. You could at least thank us!"

    After I stopped volunteering at Loaves and Fishes, I took control of my own destiny (命运). Over the next ten years, I had a (n)4life: a college degree, teaching career, wonderful husband and then our first child, Derian.

    5soon, we were told that Derian had a serious illness and needed to be6hospital. I soon discovered I was not in control.

    Thirteen months after Derian was born, Connor, our second son, was born, thankfully with a healthy body. With two sons to7, I had to leave from teaching. Even though Robb, my husband,8his best, we were short of money soon. In the spring of 2015, we decided to ask9help.

    I had heard about a program that10money to mothers and children, and I put my pride aside and made an appointment (预约).

    On the morning of my appointment, I took my two sons to the program. When I was standing in the waiting area, suddenly, I realized life was full of the11. I felt sorry for looking down on the poor. Now it was my12to be poor. I wanted to leave with my children13. But looking into their bright eyes, I knew14I had to stay.

    For the first time in my life, I15why the people I once served at Loaves and Fishes were not thankful. Who wants to be poor? I'll never forget those lessons: we should respect and understand the poor instead of giving them money and food only.
