Yesterday, I needed to withdraw 3000 dollars at the bank that I intended to use for home decorations. When I arrived at the bank, I saw that it was packed with people. I took a token and joined the queue.
As I was waiting, I noticed an old woman getting off a taxi. She entered the bank with a walking stick in hand. I could tell that she was having difficulty for her hands were shaking violently. So I approached her, took a receipt, and filled it out for her. After that, I also helped her get a token, so she could deposit her money. She thanked me and stood not far from me.
The queue was very long. After what seemed ten minutes, she looked anxious. I offered to exchange my token with her, but she refused politely. Having waited for nearly half an hour, it was my turn. I withdrew my money and waited to see if the old lady needed any more help. During the time, we chatted for a while. she told me she had intended to deposit three thousand dollars, which was all her savings.
After 20 minutes, it was her turn. However, it was at that time that she realized that she had lost the money she had intended to deposit! She searched around but found nothing. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to compose herself and call her son for help. She couldn’t find his number among her contacts because she was so discouraged. I helped her called her son but the problem at hand was still the lost money. She didn’t know what to do, and I could sense she was in desperate need of assistance. At the same time, her name was repeated in the hall. If she missed the turn, it meant she would wait another long time.

Mary looked at the store window longingly. There was nothing that she wanted more than a Happy Hannah doll. It was 29.9. Unluckily, Mary didn't even have the 95 cents, so she let out a deep sigh and continued walking home.
As she crossed the street, she thought about doing her brother's housework, cleaning the floor and washing the dishes all months to earn money, but even then she would have only eleven dollars. Suddenly, something small and pink in the snow caught her eyes. Mary walked over and picked it up from the snow. It was a beautiful wallet. She opened the wallet and found a thick pile of folded green bills and a woman's driver's license. Mary put the wallet into her bag quickly. She turned around and walked back.
Mary's heart beat fast as she entered the store. She had long dreamed about this moment, but something didn't feel right. As she got to the Happy Hannah dolls, she pushed away her feelings. She grabbed one and walked toward the checkout.
As Mary was waiting to pay, her mobile phone rang. Mary looked around, startled (吓了一跳). It was her grandma. Mary's heart was suddenly filled with love and warmth when she thought of her. She put the doll down and answered the phone.
"Hi, Grandma! I'm going to be a little bit late tonight…. Alright…I love you, too." Mary left the store and walked all the way to 301West Street.

Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighbouring farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious disagreement in forty years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labour and goods as needed without a hitch.
Then the long cooperation fell apart. It began with small misunderstand and then grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.
One morning, there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m looking for a few days’ work,” he said. Perhaps you have few jobs here and there. Could help you?
“Yes,” said John. “I do have a job for you. Look across the small stream at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow (草地) between us and he took his bulldozer (推土机) there and now there is creek between us. Well, he may have done this to annoy me but I’ll do better. See that pile of wood by the barn (谷仓)? I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot-high fence—so I won’t need to see his place anymore.”
The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and hole-digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”
The older brother had to go to the town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get everything ready and then he left. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing. At sunset when John returned, the carpenter had just finished his job, John’s eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped.

Eric was a very honest and hardworking student. He had entered a new school recently, so he had no friends yet. One Monday morning, he was nearly late for school because his family attended a wedding and reached home late the night before. Hurriedly, he even had no time for breakfast.
At school, Eric was starving to death and could not concentrate on anything but wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Eric quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, only to find that he had forgotten to take money since he was in such a hurry in the morning. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but in vain.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on the grassland in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Henry. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very rude boy who regarded everyone else as a failure. But Eric was a newcomer, he didn’t know much about Henry.
When he approached Henry and asked whether he could borrow some money for his lunch, Henry laughed at once and said, “I didn’t know you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Henry laughed out so loud that other kids also made fun of Eric. Embarrassed and angry, Eric said nothing and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he saw something lying under it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it belonged to Henry, as he remembered Henry showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.

The girls laughed wildly any stopped for a rest in the shade of a tree.
“Now, I’m hungry,” Sista said. “Yeah. I could really go for a jobo. I love the sweet-and-sour taste!” Rafi said, licking her lips. “I know where there’s a great jobo tree,” Sista said. “It belongs to that lady who lives in the little house by the hill. I heard she’s severe, but sometimes she gives fruit in return, for an errand(差事).” They decided to give it a shot.
Raf’s heart pounded as Sista knocked on the door. An elderly woman answered. “Yes?” the lady asked, squinting (眯着眼看) at the girls. Rafi gasped, unable to speak. “We heard…” said Sista, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.” The lady raised one eyebrow. “Ah, yes. Payment.” She clicked her tongue. “Nothing is free, eh?”
The lady-let the girls into kitchen, where the smell of warm bread filled the air. She grabbed two baskets, one large and one small, “Go fill these with jobos. Come right back.”
The girls raced up the hill to the tree and picked the ripest jobos. The moment they returned to the house, the lady handed them a bag filled with warm bread. “Take this bag and the large basket of jobos to the Gomez family. Do you know them?” The girls nodded. “Good. And ask them for the payment. Mrs. Gomez will place it in a large envelope, ” the lady added, warming that if they returned without the envelope of payment, they wouldn’t get the jobos.
Wrestling with the heavy bag and basket along the way, the girls finally arrived at the Gomez home. sweating. Mrs. Gomez answered the door. Walking inside, Rafi saw colorful drawings lying everywhere. The three little Gomez kids were still busy with more pictures, pure smiles on their cute faces. “This is from the lady with the jobo tree,” Sista held up the food. Mrs. Gomez cried, “Thank you. My husband is still sick in bed. Times are hard.”
“But she said to ask you for the payment too,” Rafi said with her eyes dropped. “Oh yes, the payment,” Mrs Gomez said. “The payment!” chanted the children, clapping. Sista and Rafi exchanged glances in confusion, not knowing why they were excited rather than worried. Mrs Gomes then handed Sista a large sealed envelope which was stuffed full. “The payment,” Mrs. Gomez beamed and thanked the girls for their delivery service. On the way back, Rafis said, “I wonder how they can afford to pay so much for that food.” “I know,”Sista agreed, “It looks like a lot of money.”

Alicia, a high school student known for her artistic talents and compassionate nature, was working on a painting in the school courtyard when she noticed a new student named Leo sitting nearby, looking curious yet lonely. Curious, Alicia approached Leo and carried on a conversation.
“Hi, I’m Alicia. What brings you to the courtyard today?”
“I’m Leo. I like to sit here and observe. It helps me feel a bit more connected to this new place.”
Alicia listened intently (专心地), her heart going out to him. She knew first hand how challenging it could be to adjust to a new place. After learning that Leo had a passion for art, Alicia smiled warmly, “Well, if you’re interested, I’m part of the art club. It’s a really welcoming group, and we’re always looking for new members.”
“But I’m not sure. I’m a bit shy when it comes to sharing my art.”
“There’s no pressure to share if you’re not comfortable. But, I think you’d really enjoy it.It’s a safe space where creativity is celebrated.”
He agreed to come to the next art club meeting, his heart filled with hope.
At the art club meeting, Alicia introduced Leo to the other members, a diverse group of students who shared a love for art and creativity. They welcomed Leo with open arms, and soon he felt like he had found a second home.
Inspired by Alicia’s kindness, Leo started to share his art work with the group. His pieces were a reflection of his innermost thoughts and feelings, touching everyone who saw them.
One day, as Alicia and Leo were walking home from school, they came across a mural (壁画) that had been ruined by graffiti (涂鸦).

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________When I was eleven years old, I moved to Tampa, Florida. My parents traveled for a living, so Aunt Emily took care of me while they were away. One rainy morning, there was an old lady who was dressed in a bright orange coat carrying a rubbish bag and a stick. “What’s that old lady doing?” I asked Emily, pointing out of the window to the street in front of the house.
Hearing my question, Emily answered, “She’s picking up rubbish around here for fun.” “Oh,” I answered. “Interesting... Why would someone think picking up rubbish is fun?” For a long time, I often saw that old lady—rain or shine—on my way to school. In the beginning, I thought she was crazy to pick up rubbish. However, I finally smiled and waved at her each time I saw her.
Later, when I moved to college, I’d see rubbish in the grass and feel really angry about it. I’d think, “Why isn’t anyone picking up rubbish? People are so unconcerned!” But shortly after that, I said to myself, “Why do I think picking up rubbish is someone else’s duty?” And I couldn’t walk past trash without feeling guilty (内疚的).
So while walking in the college, I began picking up rubbish and made sure the campus was in better shape than I previously found it. My behavior influenced some students. They started to help me out.
Like me, they also picked up rubbish whenever they noticed it. And our college became more beautiful. Seeing that, I began to think, “If I can pick up rubbish outside the college—in other places of the town, it may make a big difference to the town.”
But picking up rubbish in front of many people outside the college needs courage. It could be embarrassing. But it was the right thing to do. I decided to try it.
