I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall. I personally have hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place.

Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where your only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.

I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large and expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.

I then requested the shop assistant selling me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could ring the number of my driver for me. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”

As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remember my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me.

I waited in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if they will show kindness to me. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.

Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar.The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people.On one side of the boardwalk (木板人行道)was a woman who was cleaning the beach with a broom;on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring at the sea.I chose a spot between them and began to play.

As I played,the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom,smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.

"You sure play beautiful music,” she said.“I think my friend would like your music.I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean, then produced a few coins from her pocket.“I don’t have much,and I know you’re worth a lot, but if I give this to you, will you play a song for her?She’s going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better.”

I told her I’d be happy to play for free.

As we walked over to her friend,the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached,and the Broom Lady introduced me,“Annie,I got you a present to cheer you up.It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.”

Annie didn’t move.She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face.

I sat next to Annie and played.As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman.I played for quite a while.

Suddenly,Annie turned toward me and said,“You make it so beautiful.I can feel it inside my heart.”

Paragraph 1:

She took off her sunglasses.

I was a volunteer for an organisation at the beginning of this year. The organisation is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer. One day, we were asked to raise money for cancer research and programme funding at an event.

Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organisation, I went to the event with her. There were many people at the event. After seeing our poster, some people came to us and talked with us. But few people donated money. It was a bit hot that day. Both Lisa and I got really upset.

Half an hour later, Lisa started complaining, “I don’t think we can raise much money today. ”

“Don’t worry. The event lasts for three hours. There is still a lot of time left，” I said, though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day.

While Lisa and I were talking, a little boy of about eight years old came to us. He stood in front of our poster and started reading.

After a while, he asked, “What is cancer？”

I explained what cancer is. Then I said, “Many people around the world are suffering from cancer. It can be really dangerous. More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less. That’s why we’re collecting money for it. ”

“Do children suffer from cancer, too？” asked the boy.

“Yes. Many children suffer from cancer. Some of them may die. They need help. ” Lisa said and I nodded.

Hearing that, the boy became sad. Then the boy asked, “How much money have you collected？”

Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn’t raise much money. At last, we said, “Not much. ”

The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few one­dollar and five­dollar bills. The boy said nothing after seeing that and left. Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them. Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return. However, about twenty minutes later, the boy did return.

The day of the balloon festival, I felt as light as a hot-air balloon. This year, I wouldn’t just be watching. I would be riding in Mr. Brown’s truck, following the flight of the balloon and meeting it when it came down.

It was a perfect day. Dad and I drove down the road, looped around the lake, and turned into the field that was being used as a parking area. Dad pointed toward the lake. “That’s where you’ll find Mr. Brown’s truck,” he said.

We stopped and got out of the car. And then I saw it — a white bird with a brown head and skinny legs. It cried and thrashed (激烈扭动) in the dirt in front of the cars that were driving downhill. Its wing looked broken. Suddenly it flew off.

“Dad!” I called. But my dad was watching the balloons.

“It has a nest (鸟巢) here somewhere,” a voice said.

I turned to see an old woman. “I’m Edie Thomas,” she said.

“I’m Nat,” I said. She shook my hand as if I were someone important.

Mrs. Thomas smiled. “It was a nesting place before it became a parking area. No one told the bird about the balloon festival.” Then she pointed with her cane (手杖). On the ground was a perfect clutch of eggs, looking like a heap of pebbles (鹅卵石). They were in the path of cars, trucks and motorbikes.

Screech. The parent bird was back, its wing all twisted again.

“They pretend to be wounded,” said Mrs. Thomas. “They lead enemies off, miles sometimes, before flying back. Those eggs sit there pretending to be rocks.”

“Nat!” Dad called. “Isn’t it time you went down to see Mr. Brown?”

“Dad! I’m …”

I looked at the lake. The balloons were ready. Mr. Brown’s truck was there, ready to go.

A bird cry forced me to look back. I felt as if I had a rock in my stomach. “Dad, I’m not going.”

“You’re sure?”

9 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Once when I was young and had a loose tooth, I asked my father, a dentist, to look at it.

“It needs to be pulled，” he told me. I frowned, afraid of the pain of that experience. My dad sent me for some tissues and I imagined them soaking up liters of blood from my mouth. I closed my eyes and strengthened myself. I was still waiting for him to pull when I heard my father say, “I’m done.”

I opened my eyes and saw my tooth in his tissue­covered hand. I hadn’t felt anything, and there was just a bit of blood on the tissues. I thought my father was a magician.

The next day at school I bragged to a friend about my father’s wonderful skill. When I explained that the process didn’t hurt, my friend called me a liar. He said that when his tooth was pulled, it had hurt a lot. I talked to my father about this and there was not a single mystery left after my father’s explanation: my tooth had been ready to be removed, while my friend’s had not.

“I’m going to be a dentist，” I declared. I wanted to follow in the professional footsteps of my father, my uncle and grandmother. My father supported my ambition, honoring my interest in his profession even when I was young. He always encouraged me, saying，“To achieve your goal, you should always be devoting hard work and effort to it.”

I didn’t need to visit my father’s office as a child because I had few cavities. As I entered the elementary school and began eating more candy, however, I visited more often. I didn’t mind, though. I was the only kid I knew who was excited about going to the dentist. After my father worked on my teeth, he let me hang around. And I was amazed as he operated complicated machines, leaning over patients’ mouths with a tiny mirror strapped to his head.
