    I remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades.

    When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted. I described something like bikers wear. She listened long. I thought she understood for sure the kind I wanted.

    The next day when I got home from school, I discovered, on my bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket slowly, as if it were a stranger.

    From the kitchen mother shouted that my jacket was in the closet. I rushed and pulled at the clothes in the closet, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.

    I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror（镜子）, turning right and left. I looked ugly.

    I threw it on my brother's bed and looked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.

    The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, looked at me for a long time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers looked my way and talked about how foolish I looked in my new jacket. When it was time for the whole school to get together on the playground,   ▲  . Although they didn't say out loud, "Man, that's ugly!" I heard their talk and even laughter.

    And so I went, in my jacket. So embarrassed, so hurt, I couldn't even do my lessons the rest of the day. I received Cs on tests.

    I wore that thing for three years. All in those years no love came to me.

    I blamed（指责）that jacket for those bad years. I blamed my mother for her bad taste and her cheap ways. It was a sad time for the heart. Anyway, I spent my sixth-grade year, looking forward to something good to happen to me.

    And it was about that time I began to grow, still in that green ugly jacket, which had become my brother who went along wherever I went.

Just outside the city in South Africa，a special hospital saving wild animals lives nearby.Mario，an animal{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.set up the hospital two years ago.Since then，they have treated about4，000 animals.

Have you ever rushed to some very important places only to find you're on the wrong bus and you'll never make it in time？One woman in New Zealand 1 this last year，but the bus driver went 2 his duty to help her out.

One Sunday，Mason was on her way to see her 70﹣year﹣old mom who lives in a nursing home.Because of its recent rules，3 are limited （限制） to an half﹣hour period scheduled ahead （提前预约安排）.When Mason 4 she hadn't got on the right bus and her 30﹣minute window was fast closing，Mason started crying，tearfully5 to the bus driver，57﹣year﹣old Alex Bailey，what had happened.

Rather than keep to his schedule，Bailey decided to6 .With nods from the other7 ，Bailey took another longer route （路线） and8 Mason to the nursing home，dropped her off，and then calmly went back to his regular route.

By 9 ，as Mason arrived at the nursing house，a news reporter was there.Mason told the reporter her10 ，expressing praise for the bus driver.The story11 the evening news，and it hit social media.Bailey was "Internet12 ".

Actually，Bailey is only one of the serving members during the pandemic （流行病），who has been13 around the clock to make sure that key workers，education and communities stay connected and keep the city running 14 .Later，he said that it was just a nice，magical moment15 thing to do.
