    It was a cold winter's night when I stopped for gas on my way home from work. I felt 1 and had a slight headache.

    I worked in a 2doctor's office. During those days, the office was often 3 people who had a cold, which made me even busier than usual. It seemed I was going to be late 4home and my husband would be ready to pronounce me late once again. But maybe 5 I hurried, I could still make it.

    I was heading inside to  6   for my gas when I noticed an old couple（夫妻）at the counter. I heard them asking the 7 to the nearest hospital. It was the hospital that I had just  8 a few minutes ago.

    The young man at the counter was trying to be  9 by explaining how to get there. But the fact was that he was telling them a whole 10  route. So I walked over to the couple and said, “Would you like to 11 me to the hospital?” Then I saw a look of relief（轻松）over their faces. “I'm going there, too,” I said, which wasn't a lie since I had just  12 up my mind to do it perfectly.

    I got in my car and began to drive 13. I looked back several times to be 14  they were right behind me. It took us only fifteen 15  to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to die down. I felt better than I did all day and my headache was nearly gone.

    His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day late in the afternoon, while working to support his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby pond(池塘). He dropped his tools and ran to the pond. There, up to his neck in the water, was a terrified boy, crying and struggling to free himself. Obviously the boy did not know how to swim. Fleming jumped into the pond and quickly swam toward the boy. He saved the boy who could have been a terrible death.

    The next day, a very cool carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's house. A well-dressed noble man stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Fleming saved the day before.

   “I want to repay you,” said the nobleman. “You saved my son's life.”

   “No, I can't accept any payment for what I did,” the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer.

    At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the farm house, confused by who was visiting them.

  “Is that your son?” the nobleman asked.

  “Yes,” the farmer replied proudly.

  “I'll make you a deal. Let me take him with me. I promise you that I will give him a good education. If the boy is anything like his father, he'll grow up to be a man you can be proud of.”

    And he did. In time, Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London and went on to become a famous doctor.

    Years later, the nobleman's son became seriously ill. Who saved him? The farmer's son did.

    It's important to help people no matter how successful you are in life. You never know when you are going to be the one who needs the help.

    Lin Xiao, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her two parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin took her role as the “big sister”seriously. When her first sister was born, Lin took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to bea parent's job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.

    Not all of Lin's classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), a law that was carried out in China about forty years ago. But the situation is about to change. A new policy made on October 29 saidall couples can now have two children.

    The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facingan aging population and labor shortages because of the low birth rate (比率).

    The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found thatgrowing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on one's mental health.

  “Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that parents don't.”Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fearand so on.

    Liu Fang, 20, fromShenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with parents. “If necessary, I would always have her back,” said Liu. “The best partof having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.”

    But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other, said Laura.

    What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping, but none of them are worried about the road ahead.

Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶的) cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon. But, how is it possible for a car to drive itself?

    Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects (物体) close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery (滑的) roads.

    Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creatinga safe self-driving car might be possible.

    The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly (致命的) accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.

    My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella. He's had it for years. As he is very careful with it, so it still looks as good as new.He shook his head. "Then how did you get it?" I asked. "Well," he answered, "there's a strange true story about the umbrella. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London street one evening when it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat or umbrella. And the people in the streets were fewer and fewer. As I was on my way to a party, I was afraid to get wet. So I stood in a doorway and waited for the rain to stop.

What was worse, there even wasn't a person around, and still it rained and rained. At last a young man came to the place where I was standing. As I hoped he would allow me to walk to the next corner with him, where I could get a taxi, I stepped out of the dark doorway where I had been standing. As I suddenly appeared before him, the young man was so shocked that he dropped the umbrella. He ran away and disappeared into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be hard in this big city to find the owner, so I've kept it ever since."
