I wasn’t in the hospital and I came as fast as I could and now, I wish you could calm down so that I can do my work quietly.” “Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now? If your son dies while waiting for a doctor, what will you do?” said the father angrily. The doctor smiled and replied, “We’ll do our best and you should also pray for your son.”
The surgery took some hours before the doctor went out, saying happily, “Thank goodness! Your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply, he ran away by saying, “If you have any question, ask the nurse.” “Couldn’t he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son’s state(状况)?” shouted the father.

【推荐1】People living in London give £2 billion a year to charities. Most people in the UK give money once a month in cash. People also get involved in charity work in different ways.
There are nearly 11, 200 charity shops in the UK, according to the Charity Retail Association. Oxfam has the largest number of charity shops (over 700) . Charity shops are run by volunteers and paid managers. People can donate mostly second-hand clothes, toys, books and other things that they no longer use. The volunteers then wash or steam the things to make sure they are clean before being sold. The money that is made from these sales then goes to a charity company. Many people believe that you can find very rare and expensive items at a low price in charity shops;you just have to know where to look.
Many sports events are also organized to help charities. You can take part in a charity race and get people to sponsor you. This usually means asking your friends and family to give money to the charity that you are supporting. You are sponsored for every kilometre that you complete. To run farther and collect more money, some people even make an exercise plan. Some events will be aired with a TV show along with reports about how much money is collected and how the money raised will be spent.
Red Nose Day (RND), a big event for the charity Comic Relief, takes place every two years in spring. On that day, you can see many people doing something funny or special for money. So, if you are ever in the UK on RND, you will know why you find normal people doing silly things with red noses and even men wearing women’s shining clothes on the street all day. It’s all for charitable causes!

【推荐2】I was in line at the post office and behind me was a homeless man. He looked so dirty that the others in line stood back several feet away from him. I didn’t even notice him until I saw the fat woman behind the counter(柜台) looking at him angrily. It was then that I turned to see who burnt her up.
I caught the man’s eyes, but he quickly looked away. I smiled at him, saying a soft “Hello!” He looked at me in surprise when realizing that I was talking to him. Maybe he wanted to respond (回应), but it seemed a little difficult. He looked away again. I tried saying that it was a beautiful day. He replied “Yes” quietly. At that time, the fat woman called my name and we had to stop talking. When I turned to leave, I said to him “________!”
As I was getting in my car, the man ran towards me and asked if he could help. I used a wheelchair(轮椅), “Madam, I want to say a big thank you for being so kind. Nobody has talked to me so politely. May you have a nice day, too!”

【推荐3】On winter nights, the wind usually blows strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think about the homeless. They have no choices but to sleep on the streets. Some of them are so poor that they have no money to buy food.
A young man in Birmingham, England, decided to do something about this. Every night, he puts on a Spider Man suit and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that these people won’t go hungry.
The man refuses to make his name public. The local people call him the “Birmingham Spider-Man.” The young man hopes his action will show others that everybody should give helping hand.
The 24-year-old started his night rounds in 2015. Every night at 9:00, he buys some sandwiches. Then, he finds a quiet alley (小巷) and puts on his “uniform”. After that, the “Spider- Man” starts handing his food out to people in need.
The man said he wore the Spider-Man suit in order to draw attention. Without the suit, few people took a second look at him when he was handing out food. When people see the “Spider-Man,” however, they come over and ask what he is doing.
“The Birmingham Spider Man” has already attracted lots of attention. Many people have offered to give away money to him. But the young man never accepts donations. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. He said, “If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won’t be so cold any longer.”

One day, three of my friends came to our house.
They told me they were going to Africa. They asked me if I wanted to go with them. I said, “Yes, of course I’d love to.”
We started to prepare all the necessary things for the journey. Soon we were ready to go. I said goodbye to my wife and we started our journey. Our plan was to be back in two months.
We left Brazil (巴西) on the first of September, 1659. Our ship was very big but we were only seventeen men. The ship was full of things for business. We had cups, glass, mirrors, knives and other things.
At the beginning of our journey, the weather was very good, but very hot. In one week, a hurricane (飓风) came and it was threatening our ship for the next twelve days. After the hurricane passed, we saw we went quite far away from our original (原来的) journey and were instead close to the northern part of Brazil near the Orinoco River. The ship was badly damaged, so we could no longer go to Africa.
The captain wanted us to go back and repair the ship, but I strongly disagreed with him. We went over the maps and decided the best thing to do was to go to Barbados and repair the ship there.
When we started this short trip, a second hurricane came. The next morning one of the sailors cried out, “Land?” and at that moment the ship stopped in shallow (浅的) water. We expected the ship to break apart (解体) at any moment because of the strong wind, so we all got into the small boat the ship carried. This was very dangerous because the seventeen of us were too crowded (拥挤的) in the boat, and it had no sail.
The waves (浪) were very big. The wind was too strong. The wind pushed us to big rocks. We knew the crash was close.
Suddenly, a huge wave came and overturned the boat. I was covered with water and couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t see the others or the boat. But I saw a little beach between the rocks.
Another wave carried me to the beach. I tried to get up. I also tried to go far away from the sea. I was able to move ten metres up. I was safe. But my arms and legs were very weak. I fell down and I was lying on the beach.

【推荐2】My First Marathon (马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
