【推荐1】When Will Restall was in the fifth grade, he received bus safety training at school. Local bus drivers taught students about the buses’ two-way radio（s   对讲机）and showed the students how to use them in emergency situations（紧急情况）. Will used what he learned to help an injured（受伤的） bus driver get quick medical treatment. People in his hometown now call the 11-year-old hero for his brave action.

Will was taking the bus to school one morning. Like every other student on the bus, Will was playing a video game on his phone. He had to wait for 10 minutes or so before he could get off the bus.

But then he heard a loud noise and looked up to see what happened. He saw that the bus driver was no longer in the driver’s seat. She had passed out and slumped（瘫倒）over on the bus floor.

Will left his seat, grabbed the two-way radio and reported that the driver was hurt. The radios on each bus let Will’s friends hear him report the emergency. Soon, another bus driver and an ambulance（救护车）arrived to help.

When they got there, the bus driver was awake and sitting up, but not speaking. They sent the driver to the hospital. Will and everyone else on the bus went to class as usual. Will’s brave action attracted a lot of attention. A local TV station even interviewed him, although he didn’t want to be in the spotlight（公众注意的焦点）.

【推荐2】One day a farmer’s donkey fell into an unwanted well. The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to find out what to do. Finally, he decided it just wasn’t worth saving because the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each held a shovel(铁铲) and began to shovel dirt(泥土) into the well. At first the donkey cried loudly when he realized what was happening. Then, a few shovel-fulls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer looked down into the well, and was greatly surprised by what he saw. With every shovel –full of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt.
As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, to the great surprise of everyone, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and walked off fast.
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The good way of getting out of the well is to stop crying, and not to let the dirt bury(埋葬) you, but to shake it off and take a step up. Each one of our troubles is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the deepest(最深的) wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

【推荐3】On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives.

Sarah didn’t realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had.

Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000 and there seems to be no end yet.

That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets. And that’s not all — thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris, who he had been unable to find for 27 years.

All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing — returning something that did not belong to him.
