The story took place in a small town in winter. One day a man met an old lady standing by an expensive car. It was clear that her car broke down. So he stopped his old truck and got out. Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. “Is he going to hurt me?”

The man could see that she was frightened, so in his friendliest voice he said, “I'm here to help you, madam. Why don't you wait in the car to get warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” It took Bryan about fifty minutes to fix the car. The lady felt quite thankful and she asked how much she should pay him.

 But Bryan wanted no money. ①对他来说，帮助别人很正常。He said, “If you want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, just give out your friendly hand.”

 After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road till she reached a small café. She stopped for something to eat. As the pretty waitress stood next to her, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕). ②Although she looked tired, she still served the customers with a smile on her face. As the old lady was going to pay the $10 bill, she remembered Bryan's words.

The old lady paid one hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change, the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. Her eyes were filled with tears when she read it, “Somebody once helped me the way I'm helping you. If you want to pay me back, continue being kind to others. ” Under the note were nine more $100 bills.

 Was the old lady an angel? The waitress was so excited that she called her husband to tell the story. “Bryan…Bryan Anderson my dear… you're not going to believe what has happened… ”

 Love needs to be passed on. Everyone can be an angel.

 It's a wonderful, warm summer day without a coud in the sky. You're outside, and you can feel the sun's heat on your skin. Do you know what else you are feeling? You're feeling the sun's energy! Without it, the earth would be a cold, dark, lifeless place The sun's radiation(辐射) gives us light and heat energy.

 The Sun's radiation can be harmful to us as well. We can't see it, but ultraviolet(紫外线) radiation comes from the sun along with heat and light. You can not see ultraviolet radiation, but it influences our health. Ultraviolet radiation is what burns our skin.

 Ultraviolet radiation has three parts: ultraviolet radiation A, ultraviolet radialion B, and ultraviolet radialion C. Waves of ultraviolet radiation  A and B may cause harm to our body when we get sunburned. The harm to our body can give us skin cancer(皮肤癌) and cause other health problems.

 You can help to protect yourself from ultraviolet radiation by wearing sunscreen(防晒霜), sunglasses and hats.

 Try to stay out of the sun when it is especially strong .You can find out ultraviolet radiation levels by watching the weather report on television.

    There are 24 solar terms (节气) in China, and the Grain Rain(谷雨) is one of them. It falls on April 19 this year.

    This solar term is called the Grain Rain because it is known for “rain” that helps the grain grow. From its name, we can guess it means a time of more rain. So if you go out in the next two weeks, you may need to bring an umbrella with you.

    But this is a great time for planting crops. If you miss the time for planting during the Grain Rain, you will feel sorry later. So maybe you can try to plant some flowers or vegetables in your garden. When the spring rain falls, farmers begin to grow crops (庄稼). Farmers often say, “Spring rain is as precious (珍贵的) as oil.” It brings farmers hope for a good year ahead.

    There are also many interesting customs during the Grain Rain. In the northern part of China, people like to eat Chinese toon (椿芽) mixed with eggs. The food made during the Grain Rain tastes wonderful and is good for your stomach. In the southern part of China, the tea leaves are picked during the time. They are called Grain Rain tea, which is famous for its freshness and sweet smell.

    Last Friday, Linda and her husband heard loud noises at their windows. Although the fear of gunshots appeared her thoughts, Linda tried to look into. When I managed to sneak in a look, I saw a mixture of eggs, oranges, and such coming at our windows.”

    Bravely, Linda decided to face her “enemies”. She always believed that “all strangers are my relatives”, she went outside to see “three cute kids”. Rather than shout at them, Linda tried to connect, “Hey guys, thank you for the oranges. Can I have them so they don't go to waste?” But the kids started to run. Linda walked after them and said, “Wait! Wait! Don't be afraid! I am not going to do anything. I just want to talk. And I can use your oranges.” The kids ran off without looking back.

    Linda felt a “sense of motherly connection” after thinking for a while, and she explained “More than forgiveness, it was more like a simple care.”

When Linda ran outside to meet the “dangerous enemy”, it turned out to be a group of 10 and 11 year old children. It helps to see all our enemies as children because they once were children (which is why they often act childishly).It is much easier to see children as basically good or acting out in ways that they “know not what they are doing”.

    People don't willingly choose to be cruel, mean, or hateful. They experience things in their lives--often when they are very young--which make them take on the defenses of anger, and scorn Seeing my enemies as child makes me think of the saying, “all attacks are a cry for help”.

    Forgiveness can lead to understanding. Understanding plants the seeds for love. We can raise a whole generation of children who have the ability to stand for what all the great wise men have taught us: Love the enemy.
