22、log or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”.

When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly , to the gr

28、eat delight of the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now

29、used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them.
