【推荐1】I’m Peter from No. 2 Middle School. I usually ride my bike home. But today, there is something wrong with my bike, so I take a bus home.

On the bus, I find a seat near a girl. I sit down (坐下) and start to read my story book. After two stops, an old grandma gets on. There are many people on the bus, so she has no seat. I want to read my interesting book, so I don’t give (给) my seat to the grandma.

“Please take my seat, Grandma!” the girl next to me says.

At that time, I find the girl is only seven years old and she takes a big schoolbag.

The grandma also finds this.“No, thank you. You’re really a good girl!” she says.

My face turns (变得) red. Then I say, “Here is a seat for you, Grandma.”

The grandma is very happy. She thanks me and takes my seat. At that time, I find that helping others is really a happy thing!

【推荐2】Robert and his brother were playing football in their front yard. Suddenly a woman ran out of her house shouting to them to call an ambulance(救护车). Her 12-week-old baby seemed to stop breathing. She was so scared that she couldn’t find her cell phone, so she had decided to rush outside to ask for help.

As the woman was trying to do CPR(心肺复苏术) on her baby, young Robert came in and told her she was doing it all wrong. He asked her to use two fingers, push on the chest 5-10 times, tilt(倾斜) the baby’s head, plug(堵住) the nose and then do a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation by breathing into the baby’s mouth.

Luckily for the baby, the woman accepted Robert’s advice. Just for a second, came a loud cry from the baby. Soon the doctors came and the baby was sent to hospital.

The most amazing part of this story is that Robert has not attended a CPR class. Instead, he learned it all by carefully reading the posters(宣传画) on the walls of his school hall. And, while he is now being called as a hero and even interviewed on TV, he is just glad to have saved the baby’s life! “Thanks to the posters on the walls, he could save the kid!” his teacher said to the reporter proudly.

【推荐1】Jessie was driving home when the accident happened. A truck hit a car, but the truck driver didn’t stop. The truck was gone!

Jessie thought that the people in the car must be badly hurt and she should help them. Not thinking of the danger, Jessie hurried to the other side of the road. Looking into the car, she saw two adults and two kids. Jessie was happy to see all of them alive, but the man, the driver, got badly hurt.

Jessie pulled one of the car doors, but she couldn’t move it. She went to the next door and opened it a little. “Please get our kids out first,” said the woman. Jessie pulled the little boy out of the car first and then the little girl. She took them to a safe place. When she went back to get the parents out, she found the door couldn’t open wide enough for the parents to get out. Jessie thought of the toolbox in her car. She had something in it that could help get the door open. So she got the box quickly.

As Jessie was working on the door, the father said, “Not many people would do what you’re doing. You are brave and great. Thank you so much.”

“You just take it easy, and I’ll get you out soon,” said Jessie. As soon as she helped the woman and the man get out of the car, it caught fire.

【推荐2】Two farmers were on their way home one evening after a hard day's work. Both were tired. They happened to look up at the sky and saw a black cloud overhead.

"Ah!" said one farmer, "tomorrow we shall have rain and the rice will grow well." The second answered, "Nonsense (胡说), the rain will only kill the crops (庄稼)."

So they began to quarrel (争吵). Just then a third farmer came along and asked them why they were quarreling. Both farmers explained about the black cloud.

"What cloud?" asked the third farmer. They all looked at the sky. The cloud was no longer there.

【推荐3】People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields(战场) or other Historic remains (历史遗址). Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.

Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen (哥本哈根) and Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹) spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean(地中海) has always attracted(吸引) them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts (度假胜地) and beaches for their vacations. They all come for the same reason: sun!

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics (经济) of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else, 37 million tourists there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining (毁灭) anyone's fun. Obviously (显然地)，they don' go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline sill less beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo (奥斯陆).
