One afternoon, Ava drove to her 4-year-old son’s kindergarten to pick him up. When she arrived, as usual, her son Noah came running and said, “Hi, Mom!” It brought a big smile to Ava’s face. “Did you have a good day, sweetie?” she asked. “Yes,” Noah replied.
“Alright, let’s get your things and go home,” Ava said. Noah sat down on one car seat in the back, carrying his school bag which contained books, candies, etc. Then, Ava started the car. “So tell me about the PE class today. Did you have fun?” Ava asked. Noah said he did and explained happily. Ava watched traffic while listening to him.
The mother and son were quiet for a couple of minutes. And Ava started to think about what to make for dinner. “How about having some pizza when we get home?” Ava asked Noah. When he didn’t answer, Ava wondered what he was thinking. She knew her son liked pizza, but maybe he wanted something else this time. “You like pizza, don’t you?” Ava asked. Still, Noah didn’t answer.
Ava looked over her shoulder, seeing Noah’s face turning red. He couldn’t speak at all. “Oh, my God! What happened?” Ava asked. She had just passed a four-ways top, and there was a wide, grassy shoulder on the road where she pulled off and jumped out of the car, She ran to the other side of the car and freed Noah from the car seat. His face was still bright red and he couldn’t speak, Clearly, he was choking (噎住)!
Ava cried out for help and called 911 while pounding her hand against Noah’s back, trying to save her son. But nothing was changing. Suddenly sat all man appeared next to them and took Noah from Ava’s arms. His truck was parked behind them. He held Noah with the boy’s back against his stomach. And, the man thrust (猛推) his hands into Noah’s abdomen (腹部), trying to remove whatever was choking him. Still, nothing happened. Then another family pulled over ahead of them.

I’m a hurdler (跨栏运动员). Last year, I won a gold medal. However, I might not have won it without a girl’s help.
I was in a city in a foreign country where I participated in a very important competition. I usually took a bus to the venue where the races were held.
One day, I was supposed to take part in my final men’s 110-meter race. I set off to go to the venue about an hour before the race. I got on the bus that would take me to the venue. I looked around the bus and saw nobody I knew. Soon I began to feel bored. Therefore, I decided to listen to some music. I put on my earphones and the loud music began.
I listened and listened and when I looked out of the window, I became worried. I was not familiar with the surroundings. “No, I have missed my bus stop,” I said to myself. I immediately went to the bus driver and asked him to stop the bus, but it took him about 5 minutes to understand what I was saying
Luckily, the bus stopped at the next bus stop. I immediately got off the bus. Looking at the totally new surroundings, I was very anxious. I wanted to take a bus that would take me to the venue, but I didn’t know when it would come. I knew I had to take a taxi, but I had no money for the taxi fare. I feared I’d be late for the race, not to mention having time for a warm-up.
Just then a local girl walked to me. She looked very nice. She stopped before me and asked me in English if I needed any help. I told her that my race was going to take place soon. It turned out that she was a volunteer. She told me not to worry. Then she stopped a taxi for me. She told the driver where I was going, and she also paid for the ride for me.

3 . I am the daughter of a fisherman. He is from the southern shore of Newfoundland and Labrador. Although I grew up in St. John’s, I spent my childhood summers at the shore so my dad could return home and do what he loved—be on the sea.
During these early summers, it was discovered that I didn’t have sea legs. It was probably an inner ear imbalance (不平衡). Each time I was on the water, I would suffer the worst sickness.
One summer, there were countless whales(鲸)all along the Avalon Peninsula, many of which got caught in traps set by the fishermen. My dad, thankfully, was one of the few whose trap remained whale-free. Even more surprising was that my dad had found a “pet” whale. Almost every day that summer, Dad’s whale would come over to his boat to be petted and fed.
I was desperate to meet my dad’s whale and told myself, and my dad, that for SURE I wouldn’t get seasick this time and wore him down.
When the morning came, I was so excited that I didn’t even find it hard to get up at 4 a. m. Then I sat at the back of the open boat, enjoying the clear morning skies. However, I still felt sick.
Suddenly, Dad called out, “Here comes our friend!” I lifted my head long enough to see a beautiful whale. Even though I still felt sick, my attention was drawn by the whale. It was beautiful, maybe 20 feet long. The whale stayed and played around the boat for about 20 minutes,
As I was the only person hanging over the side of the boat, I saw his eyes and I was sure that the whale was laughing at me.

4 . The email request came into Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore late on a Thursday afternoon in March: tempura broccoli (天妇罗西兰花) topped with fresh herbs and diced onion. The man who sent the email didn’t actually want the food itself. He was writing for his mother-in-law, who liked the dish. He went on to explain that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer (肺癌) at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe (食谱) to make it for her there.
Steve Chu, one of the restaurant’s co-owners, read the email and quickly replied with a suggestion. “Thanks for asking for help,” he wrote. “We’d like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.”
Brandon Jones, the son in-law, was stunned. “I emailed back, saying, ‘You do know that this is Vermont we’re talking about, right?’” says Brandon. “But Steve said, ‘No problem. You tell us the date, time, and location and we’ll be there.’”
For the past six years, every time Brandon’s mother in-law visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could order that one dish.
Chu, with his team, drove on Saturday to the apartment where Brandon’s mother-in-law lived. After boxing everything up, they knocked on their customer’s door.
“As soon as she opened the door, she recognized the smell,” Brandon says. “It smelled amazing.” Rina Jones, Brandon’s wife, says her mother also recognized Chu and his co-workers. “My mom kept saying, ‘I don’t understand. You drove all the way up here to cook for me?’ She was so happy and touched. She couldn’t believe it.”
The Joneses invited Chu and his team to join them for dinner, but they needed to get back to Baltimore. “It was an honor to help make the family’s wishes come true,” Chu says. “This is about her, not us. There was a lot of good energy in doing this.”
