【推荐1】Bob was only seven years old. One night Bob was at home alone while his parents were out for a party. He had often stayed alone before, so he wasn't afraid. As he waited for his parents to return home, he watched a film on TV. His eyes became heavier and heavier as time passed by. Suddenly Bob’s eyes opened wide--what was the sound in the next room? Bob heard the window being opened slowly. For a minute, Bob was so frightened that he could not move, and his body felt like ice. He knew that he couldn’t lose his head（惊慌失措）and began to think of the things he could do. Again he heard the sound of someone trying to climb into his home through the window.
Bob’s drums were standing in the corner near the TV. “Wait, maybe there is something I can do,” thought Bob. He beat on his drums as hard as he could.

【推荐3】The mountains where I live are full of curvy(弯曲的) and dangerous roads. I was driving down one of those roads last spring. Days of rain made the ground slippery to drive on.
As I turned around a curve, I saw a tree that had fallen across the road. It blocked my way. I hit the brakes (刹车)and slowly drove around it. Then I stopped. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone driving faster than I was would run into that tree.
I got out of my car and tried to pull the tree into the ditch(沟), but it was too big and heavy to move. I didn’t know what to do. But 30 seconds later, a white pickup truck (敞篷小货车)appeared and pulled over.
Out stepped a young man. “You need a chainsaw(电锯)?” he asked. I said, “Yes!” He pulled one out of the back of his truck. For the next few minutes, he cut the tree into several parts while I carried them across the road and dropped them on the other side. “You never know when you will need a chainsaw,” I joked while my new friend smiled and put his chainsaw back in the truck. I waved goodbye and watched him drive off before heading back to my own car.
In this life, you never know when you will need a chainsaw. You do know, however, when you will need a kind and loving heart.
