It was a cold and wet night. Over the radio came the message to deal with an accident in one of the side streets of the city. The scene of the accident wasn’t far away and we arrived after 10 minutes. Two cars had crashed. Two women were lying on the street and one driver was still in the car. The driver was quite drunk(喝醉) and kept shouting to us. He didn’t get badly hurt. A young woman died at once when the two cars crashed. I was holding the other woman and tried to stop the bleeding, but at last I had to watch her die in my arms.
Three months later, I saw the driver in court and found him to be a normal person. He was sorry for his actions. In the end, he was put into the prison for several years. A man isn’t a man if he drinks 10 beers in an hour. A man is a man when he knows his limit and takes responsibility(责任). When he can stay away from wine, he can drive more safely.

【推荐1】When I was in primary school, I had a big argument with a boy in my class. I can't remember what it was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.
I was sure that I was right and he was wrong. However, he strongly believed that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a lesson. She came up with a good idea. She brought both of us to the front of the class and put him on one side of her grey desk and me on the other. In the middle of the desk was a large, round object. It was clear for me to see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. “White,” he answered in a loud voice.
I couldn't believe that the object was white, considering that it was certainly black！One more argument started between the boy and me, this time about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to stand where the boy was standing and told him to stand where I had been. We changed places, and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, "White." It was then that I knew what was wrong. It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his side it was white. Only from my side was it black.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must stand in another person's position and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their ideas.

【推荐3】It was nearly dark, the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home with tears in his eyes.
“What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still went ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance.” his mother said. “But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road,” Tom answered. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet,” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture.” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please remember, son.

【推荐1】One day, Mr. Green and his son Jack went to a kite flying festival. When Jack saw the sky filled with colorful kites in different shapes, Jack became excited and wanted to get one too. Mr. Green agreed. So they went to a kite shop and chose a beautiful one.
With the string (线) in hand, Jack started flying the kite. Soon, the kite was high up in the sky. After a while, Jack said, “Father, it seems that the string is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it will fly much higher. Can we cut it?” Mr. Green didn’t reply, but just cut the string off the reel (线轴). Suddenly, the kite began to go higher, which made Jack much happier.
However, to his surprise, the kite was coming down. They waited and waited. Slowly, it fell onto the grass. Jack felt upset and asked, “I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?”
Mr. Green smiled and said, “The role of the string is not stopping the kite from flying higher, but helping it stay in the sky, because the kite itself can’t fly up. By using the string you help the kite go up in the right direction. When you cut the string, it could not support the kite.”
In our life, we may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are stopping us from growing. But in fact, these things might support us most. We can really grow up and become even stronger by realizing the importance of these things.

3. After Jack cut the string, the kite flew higher and higher.
4. The role of the string is stopping the kite flying higher.

【推荐2】When I spent that summer with my grandmother, she asked me to go shopping in the store with a list. There was a lady like no one I’ve ever seen.
“Excuse me, I need to get these,” I said, holding up my list.
She looked up and said, “I’m Miss Bee. I think you need to get them by yourself.” Miss Bee pointed to a sign “There’s no one here except you and me and I’m not your servant, so get yourself a basket and get all you want by yourself.”
