It was dark and freezing cold outside though it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The wind kept blowing. At that time, the bell rang loudly, and everybody packed their schoolbags and got ready to go home. The teacher dismissed the students, and they walked orderly to the school gate.
David was in Class One, Grade Seven. His mother would come and pick him up from school but today she was absent. David wondered what had happened, but he was not worried at all. It usually took only ten minutes for his mother to get to school by riding an electric bike. David saw his best companion, Tommy, who was his deskmate. Tommy was waiting patiently for his mother as well. They began to talk freely and happily. David congratulated Tommy on his excellent performance in the last math exam. At the same time, Tommy thanked David, without whose help he couldn't have made such rapid progress. Five minutes later, Tommy's. mother picked up Tommy and they said goodbye to each other.
David had to put up with his moments of solitude. He had no choice but to wait until his mother came into his sight. However, half an hour passed, and there was no sign that his mother would come. David was determined to walk home.
On his way home, David could hardly see any passers-by. The trees shook with the wind and the leaves fell from them without making any noise. David was lost in thinking what was wrong with his mother. Some terrible thoughts jumped out of his mind. “Maybe an accident happened to her. Maybe she got hurt by some robbers. Maybe she was seriously ill. ”Little David burst into tears and quickened his step. He did not dare to think over the results. What he could do was pray for the safety of his mother and wish everything was all right.
Time slipped away like an arrow. 2 In the short distance, it was his beautiful house with a garden. “This must, be the worst experience in my life," David thought to himself and felt scared.

It was dark, cold and raining on December 24. James left his office and walked slowly across the street to the parking place. He was very tired. He took out his car key and put down his umbrella. He put the key into the lock and turned it. Nothing happened. The door would not open. Then James realised that it was the wrong car. His car was red, but this one was dark blue. “Oh dear! I must have parked in a different place this morning,” thought he. Putting up his umbrella, he set off to look for his car. The rain poured down and the evening got colder and colder.
Having walked round all the side streets, James didn’t find his car. He was exhausted and angry. “Someone must have stolen my car,” he thought. “Now I shall have to go to the police station and report it.” The policeman there was very helpful. He wrote down a description of James car and then took his address and telephone number. As James was leaving, the policeman wished him a merry Christmas.
“Christmas!” thought James. “Oh no! I’ve forgotten all about Christmas. I haven’t bought my wife a present and now all the shops are shut. What shall I do?” When waiting for the bus, he got wetter and more miserable (难受的). He had no umbrella and the rain flowed down into his collar. He felt like bursting into tears.
When James got home, he found his wife standing on a chair and looking for something in a very high cupboard. “What are you doing, Jessica?” he asked. “The big gold star for the Christmas tree,” Jessica replied. “Just a moment. I’ll go into the garage (车库) and fetch the stepladder (梯子) for you,” said James. When James saw .the well-decorated Christmas tree and lots of presents under it, he felt even more unhappy. “What a lovely tree!” he thought as he went downstairs, “I haven’t even got one present for Jessica. I’ve lost my car and I’m completely wet. I must have lost my umbrella, too.”

Saving someone’ s life is clearly not an easy thing, especially when it comes to something as personal and risky as sharing one of your kidneys（肾脏）with them. This kind of behavior always presupposes （以...为先决条件）a relationship between the donor and the receiver, like a husband to his wife or a father to his son. So when a woman donated a kidney to a complete stranger, she surprised the world with her kindness.
The story has a surprising start, in a public bus. Rex Scott is a bus driver and his wife, Valerie Scott, had been dealing with kidney disease for 7 years. Her kidneys kept growing until they reached the size of footballs, gradually losing their function. “Only a transplant operation can save her,” Rex Scott told the reporters.
Rex was not even supposed to be driving the day that he met his wife's saviour（救星）, Joyce Smith. When Joyce Smith boarded Rex' s bus, she had been on a trip with her friend, Heather Musch. Musch was also in need of a kidney transplant and Joyce had volunteered to be her donor. Joyce spent a month preparing to become a possible donor. Unfortunately, Musch was not considered healthy enough to be a recipient （接受者）yet and the window was closing fast on Joyce' s possibility of becoming a donor.
That is all until Joyce and her friend were about to get off Rex' s bus. "Before he let us off the bus, he also said he took a kidney as a tip. If he had not made that joke, none of this would have happened,” Joyce Smith said.
Joyce was already fit to be a donor, but since her friend Musch could not receive her kidney, all her efforts seemed wasted. So when she heard Rex’ s joke, she knew that her opportunity to help somebody came. She had already made the decision to be a donor, whether it was her friend or someone else.
Para. 1:
“My little son has benefited from the transplant operation and I want to pass the kindness on,” Joyce Smith said.

Para. 2:
What's crazier is that Joyce Smith was a perfect match for Valerie Scott.

In 2004, my husband, Joe and I worked in a design company in Arizona. One day, when we got back home after work, my ten-year-old daughter, Becky and Joe were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of theirs.
But why, they pleaded(恳求). “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” “But we’ll do it.” “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” “Yes, yes, and yes. ” “I don’t believe you.” “We will. We promise.”
They didn’t. Everyone wanted to walk the cute dog that first day. From day two, neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life, she calculated, “The medium one is the most reliable.”
Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld(心灵相通). She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, send her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand—which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she would extend across my stomach as I watched television, and snored on my home-office couch as I worked on my design.
Even so, part of me continued to reject walking duty, Joe and Becky had promised. “Not fair”, I said to myself as she and I walked. “Not fair,” I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.
In September, 2008, the Great Depression hit the Arizona. With that, my husband and I were both laid off overnight. During the following six months, Joe and I hurriedly rushed here and there to seek a new job, doing anything and everything we could to request employment. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained. However, Misty still needed walking.

Amanda had been trying for Auditions (试演) for All-State Band. Then, the day before the audition. she met into Janet Jacobs. “So, Amanda, I hear you are auditioning for All-State. Do you really want to embarrass yourself?” Janet said snottily (自负的). Janet and Amanda had been fighting for first chair in the school band ever since Amanda had gotten it. “Janet, I’m still first chair,” Amanda replied.
That afternoon, Mr, Johnson, the school band director, stood up to make an announcement. “Kids.” he said, “today Janet Jacobs would like to challenge Amanda Foster for first chair.”Amanda wasn’t worried; Janet had challenged her four times and nothing had come of it. However, Amanda hit the note wrong, and her sound was not good at all. Janet, on the other hand, played perfectly. Amanda was shameful. It was one of the band pieces she should have known. Janet was given first chair and Amanda left the band room with tears. She went through the rest of her classes in a haze.
“We’re leaving for the audition in one hour!” said Mr. Foster the next morning. “I don’t feel well. Maybe next year, ”said Amanda. Then she burst into tears and ran from the room.
Her mom followed her into her bedroom and sat on the foot of her bed. “Oh. Amanda. First of all, I’ve heard you play your song, and you’re not going to shame yourself. Bravery isn’t about not being scared — it means doing something despite the fact that you’re afraid. And if you go out there and do your best, we’ll be proud of you, no matter what the outcome.” Amanda’s mom smiled. “So what do you say? Do we have an audition to go to?”
“Yeah, I guess,” Amanda replied. “Good girl! Get dressed now. We still have half an hour.” Amanda sat outside the audition room nervously grasping her flute (笛子). Finally, they called her name.

Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?”
On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Papa was talking to his patient Mr. Singh who was very ill.
I ran from one end of the verandah (走廊) to the other and then onto the balcony, staying close to Papa’s room to attract his attention. I swung on the curtain, leaped up and rapped on the door, clapping my hands, jumping all the while.
“Don’t disturb Papa,” pleaded Bhaiya, my elder brother, spreading himself on an easy chair in the verandah, not taking his eyes off the book in his hand.
Racing back to the window of Papa’s room, I saw Papa still busy with the patient. I loved to see him there before me, while I played. “He must be liking it, too,” I thought, “to see me play around in his room.” I dragged a chair and climbed onto the table. This at last drew Papa’s attention.
“Baby, be careful, you’ll fall down,” Papa said tenderly.
“Look, Papa, I am taller than everyone,” I grinned from ear to ear making my eyes disappear. All one could see was a set of white teeth and chubby (圆胖的) cheeks.
Both Mr. Singh and Papa smiled. Papa did not look convinced. So I said again raising my hands above my head. “Papa I’m a big girl, now.” He nodded with a smile and continued talking to the patient.
I touched all that I could reach with my hands till I got to the black switch. “If you touch it, you’ll get hurt,” Bhaiya had told me once. But how attractive it looked. I pressed the switch and the light came on. I immediately switched it off. I was scared, looking at Papa with large anxious eyes, but he was busy writing. He did not see me. I repeated the mischief (恶作剧) once more and was unable to stop myself from doing it again and again.
Without looking up from the book, Papa said in a serious voice, “Don’t do that, you might get a shock (被电倒).” The klick-klack of the switch and the glowing bulb fascinated me. “Baby, come here, let Papa do his work,” called my brother. I ignored everybody. This was the most fascinating game for me at the moment.
