I had just passed the bridge on the left side of our school when I saw a young man passing out in front of me. He fell face down onto the steps outside a store, which broke his mouth and left his face covered with blood. Passersby helped him sit up and wanted to know how he was doing by asking him questions, but he made no response.
Some suggested his losing consciousness might be caused by low blood sugar. A woman fetched a bowl of sugar water for the young man and helped him drink it. I bought a pack of paper tissue and a bottle of water to wash clean his face and hands. Some else called 911 for an ambulance.
Two minutes after the kind-hearted passerby called 911, a hospital called back, saying they would charge 200 dollars for sending out the ambulance and wanted to know who was going to pay the money. This added unexpected trouble to the caller. She just wanted to help, but she didn't want to end up paying for the poor man's treatment, so she hung up and quietly walked away.
I was busy cleaning the young man's broken face the whole time. When I finished, I was surprised to hear that the ambulance was not coming. At this time, the young man had got better and was beginning to talk. I asked him if he had any family, relatives or friends who could take care of him, yet his answers were hard to make sense of. A search of his pockets merely revealed a packet of cigarettes and a broken cellphone which was impossible to make a phone call with.
With his face getting cleaned up, the young man's consciousness and speech ability seemed to gradually return. He was able to give short answers to passersby’s inquiries, yet he didn't mention what caused his passing out on the street. He looked skinny and pale, like a cancer patient or a drug addict. His eyes shifted focus when he spoke as if he couldn't look at a person in the eye.

A young football player has gone popular because of a beautiful reason.
Grayson Bonomo was playing in a football game at Northeast Guilford High School when the unthinkable happened. Any player knows there is a risk of injury because sport is a physical activity, but it is still scary when an actual injury occurs.
The football player was trying his best to secure the first down of the game and was determined to make it for his team. However, the ball was flying too high, and he could not get to the ball on time. As Grayson went for the ball, another player crashed with him. The young man hit the other player so strongly that he was knocked unconscious for a brief moment of time after the crash.
It was a frightful moment, and everyone in the crowd was watching everything unfold before their eyes in anxious breath.
Grayson finally opened his eyes and was tended by the medics (医护人员), who immediately arrived on the scene.
Knowing how one exciting game could turn into a medical emergency in just a snap was terrifying. While everyone was panicking, one of Grayson’s teammates stepped away to do something else. Dillon Goedeck moved from the space where the medics were working on Grayson and away from the other team members. Seeing his teammate hurt so badly, he wanted to have his own space, and that was for a good reason with a mixed feeling of anxiety and worry. He recognized the importance of allowing the medics to do their job without distractions, and he also needed time to process his own emotions. It’s natural for teammates and spectators to feel a wide range of emotions during such incidents, and Dillon’s action demonstrated his maturity and thoughtfulness. At the same time, the other players of both sides followed Dillon and stepped away to make space for the medics. The football community stood beside Grayson, offering support and well-wishes for his recovery.

Unlike most U.S national parks, Everglades national park, located in south Florida, was created to protect a fragile ecosystem(生态系统)instead of safeguarding a unique geographic feature. It is a heaven for a wide range of wildlife, such as turtles, snakes, lizards, the Grass frog, Wading birds and so on, among which are fierce American alligators(鳄鱼). It is said that some of the alligators often appear in the areas where people live, causing much damage.
A terrible incident happened on a hot summer day. It was so hot a day that nearly every one felt like jumping into the cool water. A little boy simply couldn’t put up with the heat, deciding to go fora swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.
“Mum, it being so hot, I want to have a swim.” the boy told his mother while walking out.
“No, Honey, there has been a warning that an alligator from the park has appeared in the surrounding area. It is dangerous!” said his mother in a loud voice. But the little boy rushed out of the back door like a gust of wind before his mother could stop him.
He was in such a hurry to dive into the cool water that he left behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he left.
He flew into the water and enjoyed the comfortable feeling that the cool water brought him, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward him. His mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen when suddenly she caught the two getting closer and closer to each other as she was looking out of the window. “Oh, My God!” she couldn’t help crying loudly, getting into a great panic. And then in great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could all the way, “Alligator, Alligator!”
Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. However, it was too late. Something horrible was happening.

Jenny was a pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at a grocery store, Jenny saw a pretty plastic pearl necklace. “Oh please, Mommy. Can I have it? Please!” Quickly the mother checked its price. “It costs a dollar and ninety-five cents. That’s almost $2. If you really want it, I’ll think about some extra housework for you to earn more money. Besides, your birthday is only a week later and you might get another dollar bill from your grandma.”
Jenny worked very hard, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand-new dollar bill on her birthday. Soon Jenny had enough money to buy the necklace. Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere — Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to tell her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me?”
“Oh yes, Daddy. You know I love you.”
“Then give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess — the white horse from my collection. She’s my favorite.”
“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night.” And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
About a week later, after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked again, “Do you love me?”
“Of course, Daddy.”
“Then give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my new doll. She is so beautiful.”
“That’s okay. Sleep well, little one. Daddy loves you.” And as usual, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later, when the daddy came in, he noticed her hands were closed and trembling (颤抖) and one silent tear was rolling down her cheek. “What is it, Jenny? What’s the matter?”
Paragraph 1:
“Here, Daddy. It’s for you.”
