    A frightening incident took place Sunday night on a plane. According to reports, the United Airlines overbooked (超额预订) the flight, so they asked passengers to give up four tickets so that four United Airline staff (工作人员) could take the seats. The airline first looked for volunteers. They offered $400 for anyone who agreed to leave the flight, then increased to $800 and a hotel stay, but no passengers would give up their seat. In the end, the airline staff used computer to select four people to be kicked off the flight.

    A 69-year-old passenger among the four unlucky passengers refused to leave and said he had to work at a hospital the next day. Three guards then showed up and pulled him out with force. The old man was badly hurt after the struggle. The flight finally left after two hours.

    The scene was recorded by other passengers and posted on the Internet. You can hear the old man shouting at the guards, saying what they were doing was wrong. Many people expressed their anger at the incident.

After the incident, United Airlines loses $800 million in the stock market (股市). A day and a half after the incident, United Airlines finally admitted it did something wrong.

My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping. She held up a white sweater and nice skirt. "Do you like them?" she asked. 

"They're great, " I said. Jenny smiled and keep looking while I moved about, touching the beautiful clothes. "I'll try them on, " Jenny walked towards the dressing room. After a while, she came out in the outfit (一套衣服). She looked beautiful. 

Part of me wanted to say how good she looked, but another part stopped the words coming out. Jenny was in such good shape( 外 形 )that she'd look good in the outfit. Sometimes, I regretted(后悔)choosing a best friend who was so pretty. God, why can't I be the one with the rich parents and the great look? More and more, I was envious (妒忌的) of her. 

"Well, Tina, what do you think?" Jenny asked more than once. "Do you like it?"

The outfit looked great on her, but I lied, "Not really. I think you need something with more colors. "

"You think so?" Jenny said doubtfully. 

"Just believe me. We'll find something better, " I told her, pushing her back into the dressing room. "You just can't buy the first thing you see. " I did my best to get Jenny out of the store, away from that outfit. As we left, Jenny gave the outfit one last look. 

Just down the mall, we passed an ice-cream place. "My treat, " Jenny said, pulling out her wallet(钱包). 

I could never say no to ice-cream, so we got some and sat down at a table. As Jenny talked without stopping about a million things, I thought about my feelings toward her. Those feelings weren't kind. 

Sitting there, I began to see Jenny in a new light! Jenny was attractive (吸引人的) not just because of her good luck, but more because of her kindness. Treating me to ice-cream was far from her only show of generosity(大方). She also let me drive her car and borrow her clothes. 

Finishing our ice-cream, we headed for the next clothing store. "Look at that red sweater, " Jenny said when we passed the window. "It would be nice for you. Soon maybe you'll have enough by saving your pocket money to buy something like that. "

A few minutes earlier, all I had heard was about saving my pocket money. I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything, and they'd buy it for her. This time, however, I heard more. I heard the voice of someone who loved for who I was. So I needed to express( 表达)the same to her.
