On Saturday morning, John got up early to go to a sports club. On his way, he saw three of his schoolmates at the mall, Rae, Asoka and Aduki. They were always together because they were very good friends.
“I’m shopping for new shoes,” Rae told John. “But I have big feet so nothing fits! We have been shopping everywhere but I can’t find any big shoes!”
“And we walk very slowly,” Aduki said, “because of Asoka…”
“I know,” John said, looking at Asoka. “I heard you hurt your knee in P. E. class yesterday. Does it hurt?”
“It’s OK if I move very slowly,” Asoka told him. “We are going to eat ice-cream at Dairy Queen. Do you want to come?”
“Sorry, I can’t. I am going to meet Edward at the sports club. See you later!” said John.
John was walking past a coffee shop when he saw Ms. Kanga. She was looking at a new sidewalk. As John came closer he could see that Ms. Kanga was angry. “Somebody jumped in the middle of the sidewalk when the cement was still wet!” she said, pointing to two small footprints in the new cement. “Now I can’t go home because I have to fix the sidewalk!”
“Who did it?” asked John.
“A first-year student over there said that three girls were walking by here just now. But he doesn’t know which girl jumped in the cement!”
Three girls? “Small” footprints? Somebody “jumped”? “I know who did!” said John.

【推荐2】Did you saved money to do something special? Cindy Evans and her third-grade class are sure to answer, “Yes!”
Cindy Evans works at Big Beaver Elementary School in Big Beaver, Pennsylvania. One day she and her third-grade class read about the Great American Smokeout in Weekly Reader. The Smokeout is an event to help people give up smoking. The American Cancer Society runs (管理) it.
“We read that about 1 million people give up smoking each year,” said Ms. Evans. Then her students asked her, “What does 1 million look like?” Ms. Evans told her class the best way to see 1 million was to collect 1 million things.
“I was thinking about collecting 1 million small things like erasers,” said the teacher. But her students had a better idea: to collect 1 million pennies (分) and give them away to the American Cancer Society. Soon the class started their big job.
Many people in the neighborhood (街区) joined the students. Ms. Evans told us the bank in their neighborhood had to keep more pennies because so many people were collecting them.
That June, the class went to the office of the American Cancer Society with 1,177,500 pennies, or $11,775. They hoped that the money could help more people keep healthy.

【推荐1】Last winter, I went to Moscow myself. My children worried about me a lot because I was over 70 years old, but I still wanted to have a vacation in Moscow. It was my dream place.
I flew there. It was really cold in Moscow. All the people wore heavy clothes. I waited for the bus with my heavy bag. At that time, a young man drove to me.
“May I help you?” he asked.
“Yes, thank you.” I said. “Is it OK to help me? You may be busy.”
He said, “It is OK. I enjoy helping old people. Hope you have a great time in Moscow.” I couldn’t say a word I was happy that I met a good Russian.
His English was not good, but we had a happy talk on the way to the hotel. We talked about something about Moscow. When I arrived, I thanked him again and gave him some money, but he did not take it.
“I helped you not for money. I just hope my mom can get help one day,” he said and went away.
That’s why I like traveling. I like visiting beautiful places and meeting kind people.

The supermarket near my house is always busy. I found a great place to park my car, just then I saw a woman in a blue car also needed it. Because I was happy, I let her have it and I found another place to park my car.
I went out of the supermarket soon. Feeling good, I gave some money to a poor man and helped an old man with heavy things.
When I went back into my car, I saw the same woman looking at me. “Hello,” she said. “Maybe you don’t believe it, but I wanted to give you one of my mother’s things. You are like her. You helped those people, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me and gave me a box. “I think she would like you to have it.” I took it from her. She smiled and walked away.
It was a beautiful necklace （项链） in the box. I thought it was the nicest gift, and it was from a person I didn’t know. I wore it from that day on. It was a gift of kindness.

【推荐3】I walked into a restaurant and ordered some food. After about 20 minutes, a large group of people came in and took their own orders.
I felt disappointed (失望的) because the group got served before me. I watched as they began to eat and laughed loudly. I heard one of them bragging (吹嘘) about how he knew someone who worked at the restaurant. Unable to stand it any more, I decided to leave. I asked the waiter to cancel my order angrily.
He told me nicely, “Yours is a special order. The head chef is preparing it himself. It’ll take a little more time. Please have a drink when you wait. “I calmed down (冷静) and waited patiently. A few minutes later, my meal was served by six waiters.
To my surprise, the owner of the restaurant was a long-lost friend of mine. He saw me walking in and decided to surprise me. He turned my simple meal into a five-star meal for free. The people at the other tables were shocked and couldn’t stop looking at me. They asked angrily why they didn’t get that kind of service.
Such is life! Some people go ahead of you, laughing at you and talking about how they are smarter, better and luckier than you, while you are working hard day and night, wondering why it’s taking so long for you to get reward (奖励) like them.
