Sally is eighty-six years old. She has no sons   1 daughters. Her husband died ten years ago. But she didn't move into a nursing home. She would like to 2  herself every day.

    Every night she spends two hours  3   kids with math for twenty years. All kids living on her street can get her help without payment(报酬). She was a famous math    4  before she retired(退休) from a middle school.

    She gets up early in the morning, then does sports, goes shopping or helps cleaners   5   the street. And she does these happily.

When the kids come for help, she is always 6   and tries her best. People asked her   7  . She said, “I love it. It makes me happy to help them.”

    She is always happy every day and always says hello to people around her   8 a smile.

    “ I've decided to love everything around me. So I'm happy to do    9. I'm thankful for those kids who come to me for help. Each kid is my   10. I love each day to help them.”she said.

    Really, a good decision decided on what one does in life.

    Little Bob was born in a poor village in New York. His father has been ill for a long time and cannot do any 1at all. Bob's mother is very busy with the housework 2 working. Bob understands how hard his mother works, and he always helps her3some housework. 4 he does too much housework, his mother is still very strict with him. There are some family rules for Bob.

    He must5his things in his room and keep them tidy. If he makes them dirty, he must clean them up 6. He is allowed to keep a parrot, a cat and a dog, but he must feed them often and give them water 7 every day. After school, he is allowed to play with his pets for a short time. 8 his clothes, he isn't allowed to choose his own clothes. On school nights, he can't go out 9 and only on weekends, he is allowed to watch TV.

    Sometimes Bob hates the rules so much that he wants to break them, but he thinks the rules his mother has made are 10 him, so he faithfully obeys them.

    “I'm really thankful to our government, for it provides us with such a good training program. The training greatly helps us live well. I will certainly study  1and learn the skills. Then I can help with my family difficulties and do good to other people,” a learner on the job training program said, feeling 2.

    The learner's grandfather is nearly 80 years old, and his mother is 3 in bed. So his father, who is a farmer, is the main 4 for the family. The family is 5 The learner finished high school. The job training program helps him learn skills that he'll 6 in the work place.

    The story makes me think of another 7 It goes like this: Long ago there was a man who liked fishing very much, and was  8 to catch lots of fish every day. The man was kind, so he always 9 his fish with his neighbors, who did not know how to fish. One day, he thought that it would be 10  if he told them how to fish. So he called his neighbors together and showed them  11 to fish. Everybody was very happy that they could 12 the fish they themselves caught.

    At present, there are still a lot of poor people in the world. But it's not good if we give only 13 to them. 14, we should give them a chance to learn new skills. So, training is very important to people in need, because they will learn the ability to 15 money. People can learn a lot of useful things in the training program and what they learn can help them on the way to find jobs.

    I was walking along a busy road when I noticed a young man standing near the crossing selling toys.1 I would hurry past such sellers. But I found this young man was 2 so I stood for some time without crossing the street. I wanted to see how he sold his things.

    Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set 3eyes on one of teddy bears. The mother asked for the4 and it was only one dollar. She 5 out a 10-dollar note from her handbag and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the6 back. I was wondering how he was going to do it. He told the young mother to put the money in the bag 7 around his neck and take out her change.

    I realized that this young man depended on believing people not to cheat him. There was no way for him to know 8 someone would take out more than they should have. I was so 9 I bought a car model from him that I did not need. As I walked down the street, I gave the car model to a kid walking with his father.

    I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to 10 others more, like the young blind street seller.

    There is an old saying, "Take the time to stop and smell the flowers." I think we should also take the time to 1flowers.

    My grandmother knew just 2to do that. She grew flowers with earth, water and love, so her back garden was filled with beautiful flowers. She would smile when she saw the 3shine down on them. In her front4she planted flowers, too. You could see red, white, and yellow flowers in it. My mom and I used to walk around them and 5their smells. Beautiful butterflies flew down on them. Grandma also cared for the wild flowers. She would  6 me and my brother out to pick flowers and would then turn them into delicious wine.

    Grandma not only planted flowers in the gardens but also planted flowers in our7. Her delicious dinners made with love encouraged us. Her sweet smile always made us 8. Her hugs (拥抱) and kisses were the sunshine that kept our own love 9day after day.

    Take the time to plant a few flowers yourself today. Show your smiles, kindness and love. Plant your wishes, talents and pleasure. Make this 10brighter and brighter with your sunshine.
