问题     A woman pulls her car alongside a toll booth and says, "I am also paying for the six cars behind me," and she does. One after another, the next six cars pull up, and the collector says, "Someone ahead of you has already paid your fare. Have a nice day."
    The woman who paid the toll for strangers had read a note taped to her friend’s refrigerator. It said, "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty."
    The friend had seen the message on the wall of an old railway station and couldn’t get it out of her mind. She took a pen and wrote the saying on the back of an envelope.
    "I thought it was a message from above," she said.
    Her husband, a teacher, was so struck by it that he posted it on the notice board for his students, one of whom is my daughter. She passed a copy on to me. The next day, I asked our local paper to run it, admitting I didn’t know the source. Two days later, I heard from a writer in California.
    She had written on a plate mat (餐具垫) in a Chinese restaurant, "If you think there should be more of something, do it randomly. Kindness can spread as fast as violence and hatred." She was unable to remember whom she had heard it from, but she liked it. Now the message is spreading.
    If you were one of the six commuters whose fares were paid by the person ahead, what might you do for the next person you meet? Like all revolutions, kindness begins slowly and with a single act. Do it, and see where it leads.
Judging from the context, "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty." (line 2, para. 2) means______.

选项 A、do some unplanned good deeds
B、appreciate kind acts and anything beautiful
C、offer your kindness to some people in particular
D、be aware of others’ kind-heartedness

答案A

解析
