It was just three degrees above zero. "That's cold," thought Jane as she got ready to deliver her morning papers. Jane had 50 customers, and on cold mornings when she couldn't ride her bicycle, it took her more than an hour to make her rounds. As she collected her papers and put them into a big canvas bag, Jane regretted that she hadn't finished her math homework the night before. There was still time. She'd hurry with the papers and finish the math before breakfast.

    Less than an hour later, Jane was nearly finished. She had only five customers to go. She could then head for home to complete her math while her room fixed breakfast. As she rounded the corner, she saw a car in the middle of the street. It was Mr. Zimmerman, the elder man, who walked with a walking stick. His car was out of gas. "I'd like to help Mr. Zimmerman," thought Jane, "but if I do, I won't have time to do my homework." She hated to think what Mr. Roberts would say if she hadn't completed her papers.

    "It's his own fault for running out of gas," Jane talked to herself. "The station is only a half mile down the street. Surely Mr. Zimmerman can walk that far, even on a cold morning like this — can't he?" As she walked down the street, Jane wondered what to do.

    A driver stopped his car on a street side to have a rest. As he lay down in the seat and closed his eyes, a person came up and knocked at the window to ask the time. The driver opened his eyes and looked at his watch: "It's 8:05," he said. Then he went to sleep again. But soon he was woken up again because a second person was knocking at the window. "Sir, do you know the time?" he asked. The driver looked at his watch again, and told him it was half past eight.

    In this way, the driver thought he could not have a good rest, so he wrote a short note(纸条) and stuck(贴) it on the window for all to see. It said, "I don't know the time."

    Again, he lay down in the seat for his sleep. A few minutes later, a third person came and began to knock at the window, "Hey, sir," he said. "It's a quarter to nine."

    The story about Miss Evans is a true story.

    On the way to England from the U.S. in April 1912, a new large ship hit an iceberg (冰山) and water began to come over it.

    Everyone came out and went up to the higher part of the ship. The man put down some lifeboats into the water and helped the women and the children to get on them. Suddenly a woman shouted and wanted to stay with her children in the boat, but there was no more room for her. At that moment Miss Evans let that woman take her place. Soon after that the ship went down. Miss Evans lost her life.

    If you speak about Miss Evans in Boston today, nobody knows more about her than that, but she is one of the greatest women in America.

Do you like weekends? The weekend is a time for family {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (member) to relax together. First, we often go {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(outdoor) together on weekends. Planting trees in the field, walking and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (go) on a picnic are popular outdoor activities. When the wind blows on children's faces {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(soft), they begin {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (laugh). They also like going fishing {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the lake. In autumn, the colourful leaves {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (cover) the path(道路)in the park. The sky is higher and bluer than that of any other season in a year. It is a good season to pick fruits in the fruit garden. On cold winter days, we may watch movies. We often work together {#blank#}8{#/blank#} home. Some do cleaning in the garden. Some may also like {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (paint) their houses. We are busy on weekends, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} we are happy and relaxed. 

I walk near my house，and I see a man sitting on the ground，hitting（敲打）some﹣thing with a stone. I ask him what he does. He answers he is hitting some bread. He wants to make food for the birds. The large bread is difficult for the birds to eat，so he hits it into small pieces. 

He does it every night by himself. He doesn't understand why we are interested in the thing he is doing. For him，it is just a small thing. He also leaves（留下）some water here for the birds. 

I ask him why he does this. He says， " It's just something small I do so that the bread won't become litter but food for birds. "I tell his story to my friends. I hope it can encourage（鼓励）many people to start something like this. 

If everyone does such a thing，our world may become good and beautiful.
