Forgetful Nick

    After school on Friday, when Nick got home, he saw Grandpa's car! Nick smiled and walked quickly up the front sidewalk.

He reached the door and said hello to Grandpa. Then Mom called from the kitchen. "Put away your schoolbag first."

Nick's smile vanished(消失). "Oh, no," he said, "I forgot to bring my schoolbag home."

Mom was angry. "Nick, you forgot your schoolbag again! You need to be more careful!"

Grandpa turned to Nick and winked(眨眼), "I'm afraid you inherited(遗传) your forgetfulness from me, Nick. Your grandma used to call me 'Forgetful Jones'."

    Grandpa's words made Nick feel a little better. But he still felt mad at himself.

After dinner, Grandpa suggested going for a walk. As they walked around the corner, Grandpa said, "I'll tell you a little secret, Nick. We're the same. We like to do things, make things and have fun! That's why we sometimes forget things."

"But Grandpa, how did you stop forgetting? How can I stop forgetting?" Nick asked.

"Well," said Grandpa, "I know a few tricks(窍门). I use them to help me remember important things. For example, it's important to turn off my car lights when I park the car. So every time I get in the car, I put my notebook in my lap(大腿)."

"I saw it!" said Nick. "I always wondered why you did that!"

"Now you know my secret," said Grandpa, "It's a simple little trick, but it works. Why don't we put our heads together and come up with a schoolbag-remembering trick?"

    I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment(行李舱架),

    and sat down in my seat.Just before take-off,a line of soldiers came down the aisle（过道） and filled all the empty seats.

    After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunch （午餐袋）were available for $5.As I reached for my wallet to buy one, I overheard the soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch. "No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch.I'll wait till we get to Chicago."His friend agreed.

    I looked around at the other soldiers.None were buying lunch.I walked to the back of the plane,and handed the flight attendant（服务人员）a $50 bill. "Take a lunch to all those soldiers."

    After we finished eating. I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the restroom. A man stopped me." I saw what you did.I want to be part of it. Here, take this." He handed me $25.

    Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle.

    When he got to my row, he stopped and said," I want to shake your hand. I was a soldier and I was a military（军队） pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch.It was an act of kindness I never forgot."I was embarrassed when applause（掌声） was heard from all of the passengers.

    Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs.A man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He left another $25 in my hand.

    We landed in Chicago, I picked up my belongings.Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me and put something in my shirt pocket. Another $25.

    Upon entering the terminal（航站楼）,I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to their base.

    I walked over to them and handed them $75."It will take you some time to reach the base.It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You." I said.

    These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could only give them a couple of meals.It seemed so little.

    Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily，I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

    When I was a little girl，I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

    Now，I am  no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions.  If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere，I would say, "Sorry,  I am a stranger here."

    Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

    When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!

    Keesh lived at the North Pole a long time ago. He was a bright thirteen-year-old boy with a strong, healthy body. His father was a brave man who had died during a food shortage. His father tried to save the lives of his people by fighting a giant polar bear. The meat from the bear kept the people from hunger.

    Keesh was his only son, and he lived alone with his mother. But people soon forgot how Keesh's father had saved their lives. They were forced to live in the poorest house in the village.

    One night there was a meeting in the chief's large house. At that meeting, Keesh showed how much courage he had. He rose to his feet and went on steadily, “Because my father, Bok, brought home more meat than any other hunter, everyone received a fair share, but now my mother and I were given meat filled with bones.” The hunters were shocked to hear a child speak to them that way.

    Keesh waited calmly until the shouting died down. “My mother has no one except me, and therefore I must speak. My father put his life in danger and died, to offer food to this village. It is only right that I, his son and his wife should have enough good meat as long as there is plenty of good meat in this village. I, Keesh, the son of Bok, have spoken.” He sat down. They threatened to punish him by not giving him any food at all. Keesh's eyes flashed(闪烁) and the blood pounded(冲击) under his skin, he jumped to his feet.

    “Listen to me, you men!” he shouted. “I shall never speak in this meeting again—not until you come to invite me to speak. My father was a great hunter, and so will I be.”

    They laughed and shouted at Keesh. But Keesh said nothing more. He walked away with his head raised, looking neither to the left nor the right……

    My cousin Bill likes going to the beach on Sunday. There was much sunshine that day. He went there with his brother. They got there at 9:00. There were lots of people there on vacation. Bill and his brother sat down and began to relax.

    Soon Bill found there were lots of empty water bottles on the beach. He also saw some paper bags on the beach. That made Bill sad. He and his brother began to work. To clean the beach, they worked hard. About two hours later, the beach was clean again.  At last they put up a sign, saying, "No Littering(乱扔)" on the beach. They wanted people to keep the beach clean. After that, they were very hungry. So they went to a restaurant nearby to have lunch. They had two large bowls of beef noodles there, and then went home.
