One day a poor farmer was taking a bag of rice to town. Suddenly the bag fell off his horse on the road. He didn’t know what to do about it because it was too heavy for him to lift (举起) by himself. He only hoped that somebody would soon pass by and help him.
Just at this moment a man riding a horse came up to him. But the farmer was very disappointed (失望) when he saw who he was. It was the great man living nearby. The farmer had hoped to ask another farmer or a poor man like him.
But to his surprise, the great man got off his horse as soon as he came near. He said to the farmer, “I see you need help, friend. How good it is that I’m here just at the right time.” Then he took one end of the bag, and the farmer took the other. They together lifted and put it on the horse.
“Sir,” asked the farmer, “how can I pay you?”
“It’s quite easy,” the great man answered with a smile, “wherever you see anyone else in trouble, do the same for him.”

【推荐1】As a high-altitude archaeologist (someone who studies old things found on mountains), Luke climbs to the tops of mountains to explore (探索) places where people used to pray (祈祷). So far, he has climbed more than 100 mountains over 16, 500 feet high.
Growing up in Argentina, Luke was always interested in ancient civilizations (文明). His dream was to live and work near the mountains. In school, Luke worked hard to reach his goal. Math was a subject he really had to conquer!
Now, Luke uses math all the time. “How many feet will we climb? How long will it take? What time do we start?” He knows that careful planning can mean the difference between success and failure.
In 1999, Luke and his team climbed Llullaillaco, a mountain in Argentina. It was a very difficult climb, with blowing snow, strong winds and thin air.
When the explorers finally reached the top, they found three frozen Incan mummies (木乃伊). Two girls and a boy were buried 500 years ago. The mummies still have hair on their arms, which makes them the best-preserved mummies in the world. The explorers also found cloth, silver and gold pieces such as animals. “This was like meeting someone from the ancient past,” says Luke.
This journey was long and hard, but that did not stop Luke from climbing. “Just think of the Incas who climbed these mountains hundreds of years ago,” he says. “They lived through the same conditions.” With preparation and courage, Luke proves one thing: no mountain or goal is too big to reach!

【推荐3】A boy helped save the life of his friend from choking (噎) in the dining hall at school while having their lunch there. Many people watched a video of the accident online.
In the video, Jackson just got a seat and ate his chicken sandwich. Suddenly the food stuck in his throat and he hiccupped (打嗝). Hunter Olsen sat across from Jackson. He thought that Jackson was just joking and laughed at it along with his friends.
But soon it became clear that Jackson was really choking and tried to cough the food out. He pointed to his throat to tell Hunter that he was not playing. Hunter realized that he had to “do something” and used the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法). He stood behind Jackson, put his arms around Jackson. He made a fist (拳头) with one hand and grasped the fist with the other hand near the top of Jackson’s stomach, then made a quick, hard movement. Finally, with Hunter’s help, Jackson coughed the food out and could breathe again.
Ms. Howa, who taught them the Heimlich Maneuver during her health class, said she couldn’t believe her ears when she heard what happened. But she was over the moon to know how her student put what she taught into practice. She took pride in Hunter.
Hunter said at that time he didn’t pay much attention to Ms. Howa’s class because he thought he would never use it in his life, but her great teaching helped him know what to do when someone needed help. Then he said, “I just thought that doing something was better than doing nothing.”

【推荐1】I work as a volunteer for a group helping the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Brian here for a week, hoping to educate him.
Before leaving, I told Brian this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and said, “Pretty hard.”
After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a large dress and broken shoes, followed Brian around. Later he said regretfully, “I wish I could speak French well.” I was surprised that he said that because he always hated French classes.
However, the moment that really reached my heart appeared in a village deep in the mountain. I was asking a poor woman villager some questions for an article. Through hard work, she learned to read and write and became the leaders of the village.
When leaving for home, Brian even wanted to stay there as a volunteer. I believed he learned a lot from the trip. Soon it will be his 18th birthday. He’ll be a man.

【推荐2】As I grew up, I was lucky enough to be around nice gardens both at my parents’ and grandparents’ homes in the countryside. There were many beautiful plants and flowers. I always liked to stay in the gardens.
In fact, my grandfather was quite “green-fingered”, as there were always nice flowers in his garden. He won many prizes in his community for keeping such a nice garden. The vegetables and fruit that he grew in it were often on the dinner table at his home.
Unlike my grandfather, I don’t have a large garden to do this. Like lots of other people in the city, I only have a small balcony.
I took the seeds of a tomato and grew them. After six weeks, I was surprised to see some small tomato plants on my balcony. I felt that I could taste the tomatoes one day.
Maybe you don’t have “green fingers”, but you can try to do it. It can relax both your body and mind.
