At 9 o'clock yesterday morning, the bus driver and passengers saved an old man. When the driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road, bus No.26 was driving along Zhonghua Road. A woman next to him is calling for help. The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without serious thinking. He got out of the car and asked the woman what had happened. She said that the man had a heart attack and should go to the hospital. Mr. Wang knows that he must act quickly. He told the passenger that he had to take the man to the hospital. He expects that most or all passengers will get off and wait for the next bus. But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr. Wang to help the man get on the bus. Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the man was saved by the doctors in time. "Sadly, many people don't want to help others because they don't want to get into trouble." A passenger said. "But the driver didn't consider himself. He only wants to save one life. " He lost an arm, but he is still climbing the mountain. Allen rolston is an American who is interested in mountain climbing. As a climber, Allen is used to taking risks. This is the exciting side of engaging in dangerous sports. Many times, Allen's life was in jeopardy because of the accident. On April 26th, 2003, while climbing in Utah, he found himself in a very dangerous situation. That day, when Allen was climbing the mountain alone, a 360-kilogram rock hit him and his arm was crushed under it. He couldn't get rid of his arm and stayed there for five days, hoping that someone would find him. But when his water runs out, he knows what he must do to save himself. He didn't want to die that day. So he cut off half his right arm with a knife. Then, he bandaged himself with his left arm to avoid excessive blood loss. After that, he climbed down the mountain for help. After losing his arm, he wrote a book called The Dilemma of Life and Death. The title of the book means "in a dilemma that seems impossible to get rid of" In this book, Allen talks about the importance of correct choice and self-control of fate. He likes climbing mountains so much that he continued to climb mountains after his broken arm experience. Do we have the spirit of Allen? Before we find ourselves in a dilemma between life and death and have to choose between life and death, let's think about it first. Mario Green and mary brown from Riverside Middle School set aside a few hours each week to help others. Mario likes animals and wants to be an animal doctor. He volunteers in an animal hospital every Saturday morning. Mario believes this will help him find his ideal job in the future. "This job is not easy," he said, "but I want to know more about how to take care of animals. When I see animals getting better and see the happy expression on their owners' faces, I have a very strong sense of satisfaction. "Mary likes reading. She was able to read independently when she was 4 years old. Last year, she decided to participate in the volunteer selection of an extracurricular reading project. She still works there once a week to help children learn to read. " These children are sitting in the library, but you can see from their eyes that every new book has accompanied them on a different journey. Being a volunteer here is a dream come true for me. I can do what I like and help others at the same time. "Dear Miss Li, I want to thank you for sponsoring Animal Assistant. I'm sure you know that this organization was set up to help disabled people like me. With your help, I can have a "lucky", which has a great influence on my life. Let me tell you my story. What happens if people are blind and deaf? Or imagine that you can't walk freely or use your hands. Most people have not considered this, but many people have such difficulties. I can't use my arms and legs freely, so ordinary things like picking up China, opening and closing doors or moving things are difficult for me. Later, one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out of trouble. She negotiated with the "animal assistant" and found me a specially trained dog. She thinks a dog can cheer me up. I like animals, and I'm excited about the idea of having a dog. After the Animal Assistant spent six months training with a dog, I can take it home. My dog's name is "Lucky"-a good name, because I feel really lucky to have him. You see, it is because of your kindness that I can have a "dog helper"! Lucky is smart and knows many English words. When I gave him an order, he could understand what I said. For example, I said, "Lucky! Bring my book. "He will do it at once. The lucky dog is an excellent dog. If you like, I will send you a photo of him, and I can show you how he helped me. Thank you again for changing my life. Bless you, Ben Smith. Last month, when I came home from school, our dog came to pick me up. He wants me to walk with him, but I'm too tired. I put down my schoolbag and went to the living room. I just sat down in front of the TV when my mother came. " Would you please take the dog for a walk? "She asked, can I watch a program first? "I asked." Don't! "She replied angrily." You always watch TV and never help at home! I can't work all day and do housework all night. ""Oh, I study all day at school! I am as tired as you! " I yelled back. My mother walked away without saying anything. She didn't do housework for a week, and neither did I. Finally, I couldn't find a clean box or a clean shirt. The next day, my mother came home from work and found the house clean and tidy. "What happened? "She asked in surprise, I'm sorry, mom. I finally understand that in order to have a clean and comfortable home, we need to share housework, "I replied. Dear sir, I don't understand why some parents let their children help with housework at home. Today's children, the pressure of school is enough. They also have no time to study and do housework. Housework is a waste of their time. Let them do what students should do, ok? In order to get good grades and enter a good university, they should spend their time studying. When they grow up, they will have to do housework, so they don't need to do housework now. It is the responsibility of parents to provide a clean and comfortable family environment for their children. And I don't think it's that difficult to do housework. It doesn't matter if I do it myself. Ms. Miller Dear Sir, I think it is very important for children to learn how to do housework and help their parents do housework. It is not enough to get good grades in school. Children nowadays are too dependent on their parents. They always ask, "Can you help me with this? Or "can you help me?" ? "Doing housework helps to cultivate children's independence and teach them how to take care of themselves. This also helps them understand the concept of fairness. Since they live in the same house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part to keep the house clean and tidy. Our neighbor's son went to a good university, but in the first year, he didn't know how to take care of himself. As a result, he was often ill and his grades dropped. The sooner children learn to be independent, the better their future will be. Mr Smith dear Mr hunter, my problem is that I can't get along with my family. The relationship between my parents became very bad. They often quarrel, and I really don't like it. This is the only way for them to communicate. I don't know if I should say anything to them. When they quarreled, I felt a dark cloud hanging over our house. Besides, my brother is not very nice to me. He always won't let me watch my favorite TV program. On the contrary, in the evening, he can watch any program he wants until very late. I don't think this is fair. I always feel lonely and anxious at home. Is this normal? what can I do? Sadness 13 dear sadness 13: it's not easy at your age, and it's normal to have these feelings. Why not tell your family about these feelings? If your parents have problems, you should help. Maybe you can do more things at home, so that they can have more time for proper communication. Secondly, why don't you sit down and talk to your brother? You should explain (to him) that you don't mind him always watching TV, but he should show you your favorite programs. I hope everything will get better for you soon. Robert? Hunter: Maybe you should learn to relax. Nowadays, children in China are sometimes busier at weekends than at school, because they have to attend so many extra-curricular remedial classes. Many people are learning test skills, in order to get into a good high school and then get into a good daxue.lingwai, and some people take part in physical training to win the competition. However, this is not just happening in China. The Taylor family is a typical American family. Life is very busy for Kathy Taylor's three children. " Kathy said: "most days after school, I will let one of my two sons practice basketball and my daughter practice football." Then I have to send my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I can subtract some of their activities, but I believe these activities are very important for my children's future. I really hope that they will succeed in the future. "However, the tired children didn't go home until after 7 pm. They had a quick dinner, and then it was time to do their homework. Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows the pressure. "In some families, competition starts when children are very young and continues until children grow up," she said, adding that mothers send their children to various classes. They always compare them with other children. This is irrational. I don't think this is fair. Why can't they let their children be children? People shouldn't push children so hard. "Doctors are under too much pressure, which is not conducive to children's development. Alice Green said that all these activities will put a lot of pressure on children. Children should also have time to relax and imagine their own affairs. Although it is normal (desire) to want children to succeed, it is important that children are happy. "The storm has brought people closer. In Alabama, you can instinctively hear the strong wind outside his home. Dark clouds darkened the sky. There is no light outside. It feels like midnight. According to TV reports, a strong storm has arrived in this area. Everyone in the community is busy. Ben's father is nailing wood to the window, while his mother is making sure that the flashlight and radio work properly. She also put some candles and matches on the table. Ben was helping his mother cook when the rain at the party began to knock on the window. After dinner, they wanted to play cards, but the storm outside was too heavy to play cards. Ben couldn't sleep at first. At about 3 am, when the wind gradually weakened, the sun was rising in Ran Ran. He and his family went outside and found that the community was a mess. Trees blown down by the wind, broken windows and rubbish are everywhere. Together with their neighbors, they helped clean up the community. Although the storm destroyed many things, it brought the family closer to their neighbors. Do you remember what you are doing? When hearing the news of major historical events, people usually remember what they are doing. For example, in America, many people remember April 4th, 1968, and what they were doing. This is an important event in American history. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King was killed. Although some people may not remember who killed him, they all remember what they were doing when they heard the news. Robert Allen is now in his fifties, but he was still a pupil at that time. " "I was at home with my parents," Robert recalled. We were having dinner in the kitchen when we heard the news on the radio. The reporter said, "Dr. King passed away ten minutes ago". My parents didn't speak, and we finished the rest of the meal in silence. "Recently, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was destroyed by terrorists. Even the date 2001September 1 1 has special significance for most Americans. This is a day that Kate Smith will never forget. She remembers working in an office not far from the twin towers. " My friend exclaimed that a plane had just hit the World Trade Center! I didn't believe him at first, but then I looked out of the window and realized it was true. I was so scared that I could hardly remember what happened after that. "
