I started in on Winn-Dixie right away, trying to clean him. First, I gave him a bath. The whole time I was working on him, I was talking to him. And he listened. I told him how we were alike. “See,” I said, “you don’t have any family and neither do I. I’ve got the preacher, of course. But I don’t have a mama. I mean I have one, but I don’t know where she is. She left when I was three years old. I can’t hardly remember her. And I bet you don’t remember your mama much either. So we’re almost like orphans (孤儿).”
Winn-Dixie looked straight at me when I said that to him, like he was feeling relieved to finally have somebody understand his situation. I nodded my head at him and went on talking.
“I don’t even have any friends, because I had to leave them all behind when we moved here from Watley. Watley’s up in north Florida. Have you ever been to north Florida?”
Winn-Dixie looked down at the ground, like he was trying to remember if he had. “You know what?” I said. “Ever since we moved here, I’ve been thinking about my mama extra-extra hard, more than I ever did when I was in Watley.”
Winn-Dixie twitched (抽动) his ears and raised his eyebrows.
“I think the preacher thinks about my mama all the time, too. He’s still in love with her; I know that. He’s still hoping she’ll come back. But he doesn’t tell me that. He won’t talk to me about her at all. I want to know more about her. But I’m afraid to ask the preacher; I’m afraid he’ll get mad at me.”
Winn-Dixie looked at me hard, like he was trying to say something.
“What?” I said.
He stared at me.
“You think I should make the preacher tell me about her?”

Winn-Dixie still looked at me. “I’ll think about it,” I said.

We all make mistakes. Sometimes, it is hard to admit them. However, there is a magic power in this world that can give us the courage to do so.
I grew up in a small town in Ohio. There was a man in town that everyone seemed to know. We all called him Bob. Bob was uneducated. It seemed that because he was good-natured and not very smart,every one teased (戏弄) him.
One day when I was sitting on the porch, he came walking by. I was about 12 years old and thought it would make me feel grown up to tease him like some adults did in the town.
He asked how I was doing. I told him that my father had lost his job, and that we were short of money. I could see my friends laughing in the background so 1 went on with the lie. I had him fooled so completely that every time he asked me a question, I would make the situation seem worse and worse.I knew he made a meager (贫困的) living doing odd jobs, so it seemed funny when he asked me if we needed anything. I told him that we didn’t know if we would have enough to eat. He replied, “You poor thing. I will pray for you.”
That night I heard the door rattle (沙沙响) softly. I thought it was the wind beating against the door. So I didn’t pay much attention to it. Later when I opened the door to go outside, I realized it wasn’t wind.

Last year during the year-end holidays, I had an opportunity to participate in a Youth Camp organized by the Boy Scouts Association of my school. Since it was the first camp that I had ever taken part in, I really looked forward to it.
The camp was located in a field by a river. It was on the first day of the camp that I met Leo. He had the body size of a bear. During the lunch hour, all the campers queued up (排队) to get their food. After getting my share, I was looking for a suitable spot to sit down and enjoy my lunch when Le or an into me, spilling (洒) soup on me. Instead of apologizing, Leo laughed at me. “Don’t you think you should apologize to me, clumsy (笨拙的) bear?” It old him off as I was really annoyed.
“Apologize? It was only a minor accident. By the way, how could you call me a clumsy bear?” Leo said.
I ignored him.
On the second day, Leo was late for roll call. As a consequence, he was punished and had to do push-ups.
“It serves you right. You should have apologized to me,” I told Leo after roll call.
In the afternoon, all of the campers went canoeing (划艇) on the river. As it was my first experience, I rolled my canoe over. Leo laughed at me loudly, remarking what a terrible canoeist I was. Very much embarrassed and angry, I swam towards his canoe. Fortunately, some other campers managed to hold me back before I did something I’d regret. We went jungle exploring on the afternoon of the third day. While carrying out the activity, I injured my ankle accidentally and got left behind. Though the pain was terrible, I kept walking since I did not want to be left too far behind. While I was crossing a narrow bridge, I lost my balance and fell down into a ditch (沟). Due to my foot injury and the depth of the ditch, I faced a lot of difficulty getting out.

Melissa was a single parent of three small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight and she had to work hard to make ends meet. But they still felt blessed with a roof over their heads, food on the plate, clothes on their backs, and even if not a lot, always enough. Not knowing they were poor, the kids just thought their mother was strict in money management. Melissa was really glad about that.
Christmas was just around the corner. Although there wasn't budget for a lot of gifts, Melissa planned to please the kids with a family party. She prepared weeks ahead of time, asking one by one what the kids wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, Melissa managed to spare $ 80 dollars for the whole family to enjoy the fun of Christmas shopping.
The big day arrived. Mellissa drove the kids to a nearby Walmart and gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill. “Now, my children,” she announced, “you have two hours to pick a gift in the supermarket. Then we will meet back at the gate.” Excited, the children scattered (四散) and rushed into the supermarket.
Melissa smiled. She looked at her own note and put it back into her pocket. Well, the Melissa smiled. She looked at her own note and put it back into her pocket. Well, the children's shining faces were the most precious Christmas gift for her, weren't they? Sitting in the car, she waiting patiently, imagining what gifts the kids would choose. She couldn't wait to share their joy.
Two hours later, the kids came back one by one. Tom and Tick rushed to their mother, eyes twinkling with excitement. They showed their gifts to Melissa and jumped with joy. The third child, Ginger, was obviously left behind, who dragged her feet to the car. To everyone's surprise, Ginger was empty-handed. Melissa said nothing, asked the kids to get into the car and headed home:

Four years ago, when we decided to adopt Luke, the people from the orphanage dropped him off and turned to leave. “What are his favorite things?” I yelled. “Noodles,” they replied without even saying goodbye. The boy was nearly six years old, only 28 pounds and his face was crisscrossed with scars. Clearly, he was terrified.
Luke kicked and screamed. I stood between him and the door to keep him from leaving. His cries were painful, animal - like. He had never seen a mirror and tried to escape by running through one. I wound my arms around him so he could not hit or kick. After an hour and a half, he finally fell asleep, exhausted. I called room service. They delivered every noodle dish on the menu. Luke woke up, looked at me and started sobbing again. I handed him chopsticks and pointed at the food. He stopped crying and started to eat. He ate until I was sure he would be sick.
That night we went for a walk. Delighted at the moon, he signed, “What is it?” I said, “The moon. It's the moon.” He reached up and tried to touch it. He cried again when I tried to give him a bath until he started to play with the water. After the bath, I powdered him and clothed him in soft pajamas. Luke was a sad and shy boy for a long time. He always attempted to mask something by keeping his head down and not speaking unless spoken to.
“What should I do?” I repeated to myself until Luke noticed a photo on the wall, in which I was standing out of the orphanage.

The 45-year-old Chen Liyan was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early last Tuesday morning when she found a small plastic bag near a chair and discovered 100-000 yuan inside. Chen was shocked but she was determined to return the money to its owner.
While working, Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner. She waited for over two hours, but having no luck, she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in. There, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng.
Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologized for the inconvenience, even offering her 5.000 yuan as a reward. To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned.
But what is even more surprising, perhaps, is that Chen's daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill. Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan.
Fortunately, Ma Dongbao, who works at the police station, stepped in. Living in the same apartment building as Chen's family, Ma was well aware of Chen's difficulties.
When Wang was told about Chen's situation, he decided to do something to help.
