“You will have to look after the baby today,” a woman told her husband. “I am not feeling well. ”
“Then you must stay in bed and rest, dear,” her husband said. “I’ll be happy to take care of our baby. And I shall go shopping for you as well.”
She was very happy and said, “I’ll give you a list of things to buy.” She wrote out the list and gave it to him.
“You can put the baby in the shopping cart(小推车）, and he will be very quiet.” she said.
The man took the baby to the supermarket and put him in the shopping cart along the rows of things to buy and looked for those that were on his list.
At first all went well, but then the baby began to cry.
Then he started to scream(尖叫）. And scream! And SCREAM!
“Keep calm, George,” the man said. “Don’t get excited. Don’t shout, George. Don’t be angry. George!”

“I think you are wonderful,” she said. “You are so kind to your little George.”
“Madam,” the man answered, “I am George. He’s my son Edward.”

【推荐1】I'm David. Long ago, I came to the city near my hometown to find job. I met all kinds of difficulties and I used up all my money soon.
It was dark outside one day. I got on a bus quietly. Suddenly, a passenger cried in a loud voice, "Someone has stolen my money!" I felt nervous, because his money was in my hand. Some people suggested the driver drive the bus to the police station, but some were against it because they were in a hurry to go back home. The whole bus was very noisy. The driver then stopped the bus by the roadside and turned on the lights. At that time, one passenger said, "Turn off the lights and give the thief a chance to take out the money." Then the bus got dark when I was still thinking about whether to take out the money or not. The lights were on again. There was no money on the floor. Someone said again, "Give him one more chance." The lights were turned off again. I became even more nervous. The lights were turned on again, but they got the same result. Then the passengers fell into an open discussion. Later, someone said, "Give him the last chance!" I felt awakened and took out all the money when the lights were turned off again.
For many years I have been grateful to those who gave me three chances. When the first and second chances come, you may not be prepared well or don't have enough courage to act. When the third chance comes, you should know clearly what you should do.

【推荐1】I have always wanted to fly. When I was just 5 years old, I would watch planes on television. I also had a model plane. It couldn’t fly far, but I loved it.
When I was twelve, I went to the airport for the first time. My family went there to meet my brother. And I was very glad to see him. But I was so excited to see the planes that I didn’t want to leave the airport.
I said “I want to be a pilot (飞行员).” My family liked the idea. They even got me books about flying. They said that if I studied hard, I could get into the Air Force Academy (空军军官学校) to learn how to fly a plane.
So I worked hard at school, I wanted to make my dream come true.
When I was 18, I took my first plane trip. Later that year, I was going to study at the Air Force Academy. Yes, I did it.
I have learned how to fly. I am going to fly a plane now.

【推荐2】In October 2022, I joined an organization to be a volunteer to work in Thailand. When I arrived in Thailand, I thought I would be taken to an orphanage (孤儿院). However, I was told that I had to go to a place by train alone. And then I knew that my job was to teach English in a school instead of working at an orphanage.
The next day I went to the school and met the children I would teach. In the classroom, the children looked at me, saying nothing. No one could speak English. But from their eyes, I knew they were really worried and felt uneasy to learn English. It seemed like a big challenge for me, but that was just what I wanted.____★_____. I was alone and there was nobody I could talk to. However, I didn’t give up. If I had been afraid of difficulties, I wouldn’t have traveled all the way from England to Thailand to be a volunteer. Little by little, I learned some Thai and started to fall in love with Thailand. Every time I saw the children’s pleasure of learning English, I was happy and felt that what I was doing was really meaningful.
I began to work in a hospital in Thailand last month. If you also want to be a volunteer like me, don’t worry too much about the food or the place where you live. After all, as a volunteer, the most important thing is to help people who need help!

【推荐3】David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister’s books to the library on his way to Jim’s house.
In his eyes, books and summertime just don’t go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a public library. Today he’d just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.
David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he’d be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked in a library.
David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn’t find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I’m locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.
He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn’t seem to be such a terrible thing.
