One evening, Anne was at home doing her homework. Matthew was home, but Marilla went to town with the Barrys and Mrs. Lynde. Suddenly, Anne looked up and saw Diana standing at the door. She looked very worried.
“What’s wrong, Diana?” cried Anne.
“Oh, Anne, do come quick,” said Diana. “Minnie May is very sick. Father and Mother are away in town and there’s nobody to go for the doctor.”
Matthew got his cap and coat and went for the doctor. The two little girls ran to Diana’s house hand in hand. Minnie May was Diana’s three-year-old sister. Anne saw Minnie May and found she was very sick. “I must take action right away,” Anne thought. So she went to work immediately.
“First we must have lots of hot water. Put the fire on. I’m going to give her some . medicine.” Minnie May did not like the medicine, but Anne did not give up.
All night, Diana and Anne stayed with Minnie May. It was three o’clock when Matthew came with the doctor. But by then, Minnie May was sleeping. Anne told the doctor what she did. He was very impressed. Later on, he told Mr. and Mrs. Barry, “That little red-headed girl is very smart. She saved that baby’s life.”
The next day at dinner, Marilla had something important to tell Anne. “Mrs. Barry was here this afternoon, Anne. She says you saved Minnie May’s life, and she is happy for you to play with Diana again.”

Bus Driver and Passengers Save an Old Man
At 9: 00 a.m. yesterday, Bus No.26 was going along Zhonghua Road when the driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road. A woman next to him was shouting for help.
The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without thinking seconds. He got off and asked the woman what happened. She said that the man had a heart problem and should go to the hospital. Mr.Wang knew he had to act quickly. He told the passengers that he must take the man to the hospital. He expected most or all of the passengers to get off and wait for the next bus. But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr.Wang to move the man onto the bus.
Thanks to Mr.Wang and the passengers, the man was saved by the doctors in time. “It’s sad that many people don’t want to help others because they don’t want any trouble,”says one passenger. “But the driver didn’t think about himself. He only thought about saving a life.”

【推荐3】There was a woman who inherited (继承) a clothing store after her sister passed away. The woman already had a job of her own, but she decided to run the store on weekends.
The first day she opened, an old woman came in and looked at things here and there. However, she didn't buy anything. When the woman asked why, the old woman said, “Well, I like these things, but I don't have enough money.”
“I already have a job. I can afford to give some clothes away,” the woman thought to herself. So she let the old woman have the clothes for free.
Word soon spread (传开) about the “free clothing store”. People started coming in. They told the woman that they didn't have enough money. She would simply give them clothes. But one day, she went in to open the store and found that there was nothing left inside.
It's a good thing to help others when they are poor or in need. But we must also be careful. Not everyone is nice-some people will cheat others whenever they can. Use your best judgment to decide who really needs help.

【推荐1】Wednesday morning came. Anne got up very early because she was too excited to sleep. After breakfast, she made her cake. The cake came out of the oven looking perfect.
“Can I put flowers from the garden on the table?” asked Anne. “Mrs. Barry had flowers on her table,” she added cleverly, “and the minister told her it looked lovely.”
“Well, do as you like,” said Marilla.
The minister and his wife arrived, and they all enjoyed a lovely tea. Everything went well until Anne’s cake was passed around.
“Oh, you must take a piece of this, Mrs. Allan,” said Marilla. “Anne made it just for you.” “In that case I must try it,” laughed Mrs. Allan. She took a mouthful and a strange look came onto her face. Marilla tried hers and said, “Anne! What on earth is in this cake?”
“Oh, isn’t it all right?” cried Anne.
“It’s terrible. What flavoring did you use?” “Vanilla,” said Anne.
“Go and bring me the bottle of vanilla you used.”
Anne returned with a small bottle labeled “Vanilla”. Marilla took it and smelled it.
“Anne, you’ve flavored that cake with medicine! I broke a bottle of medicine last week and poured the rest of it in this old vanilla bottle. Couldn’t you smell it?”
Anne burst into tears and ran to her room. Lying on her bed, she heard somebody come in. “Oh, Marilla,” cried Anne, without looking up. “It’s terrible. Mrs. Allan will think I tried to poison her.”
“My dear little girl, don’t cry,” said a happy voice. Anne jumped up to find Mrs. Allan standing by her bed.

【推荐2】The day was hot. The stockade was even hotter. Everyone was sleepy. I moved slowly and quietly through the forest to the shore. I looked toward the Hispaniola. Silver and one of the crew were leaving the ship.
“Ben Gunn’s boat will be hidden behind a rock.” I thought.
I looked behind every large rock. At last, I found his boat. It was very small, but it was big enough for me. My plan was to take it out to the Hispaniola and cut her ropes. She would then move toward the shore.
It was not easy to make the small boat go where I wanted it to. It took me a long time to get to the Hispaniola. But at last, I could hold the anchor rope. I began to cut it, but the rope was thick and strong.
The wind now became stronger. The Hispaniola began to move through the sea. She nearly pushed my little boat under the water. I was able to get out of her way only just in time.
Then I heard shouting. The two drunken men ran out of the cabin. They knew the ship was moving, but they did not know why.
The sea was now rough because of the strong wind. I could not make my little boat go where I wanted it to. I lay at the bottom of my boat.
“Soon this boat will be full of water.” I thought. “Then I shall drown.” I closed my eyes. I thought of home.
I slept through the night in my small boat. It was nothing when I awoke. My boat was now half full of water. The wind was still strong. The Hispaniola was moving this way and that way.
“No one is steering her,” I thought. “The two crew men are either drunk or they have drowned.”
①
Slowly I moved my boat toward the ship. It was very difficult. At one moment I was near the ship, the next the sea took me away from her. At last, I was near enough to take hold of the rope. Just then, the wind blew more strongly. Water filled my boat. She sank beneath me as I held on to the rope. I climbed the rope on to the Hispaniola.

Happy Rain on a Spring Night Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town’s heavy with blooms. —Translated by Xu Yuanchong |
This famous poem, was written by Du Fu (712-770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu.
The very first word, “Good”, shows Du’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the right time to come. Here Du uses personification (拟人), as if the rains were smart enough to come in time for the farmer’s busy season.
The rain comes during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
Next, Du describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Finally, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain.
