A few years ago, my young sons, Sam, Jerry and Alex, joined a bike competition in a town far from our home. As their father was busy, I drove them to the competition.

    We were quite new to the town and didn't know anyone there. But soon after arriving, one woman gave me a chair. In the afternoon, we talked happily. Her name was Bev and she was there with her sons Jim and Carl.

    Unluckily, in one of the last races, my youngest son, Alex, had an accident (事故). He cried and cried, so I ran to meet him. He badly broke his arm.

    Just before I decided to take Alex to hospital, I saw a familiar (熟悉的) face. It was Bev.

    Although I hardly still knew her, she could see I was scared by the accident and the worry of having two other children to care in an unfamiliar town.

    "You go with him to the hospital," Bev said. "I'll take the other two home with my boys. Here is my phone number. I live not far from the town hospital."

    Bev was an angel (天使). I will never forget her kindness in taking two children off my hands so I could give my injured (受伤的) child the best care.

    A friendship started that day; and is still growing now.

    One day, Mr. Smith is going to take a train to his home town. When the train starts, one of his shoes falls (落下)on to the ground. The train is running faster and faster and he can't pick it up. Then he quickly takes off the other one and throws it on the ground near the fallen shoe. A little boy on the train asks him." Why do you do that?" "I've already(已经)lost one shoe. "Mr. Smith answers, "If a man picks them up, he may get a pair of shoes."

    How would you use a radio or a telephone ifyou had no electricity or batteries? These1bothered (使烦恼) British inventor Trevor Baylis. So in 1996 he2awind-up (装有发条的) radio. It doesn't need electricity orbatteries. You wind it up3hand. It plays for about an hour. Then,you wind it up4.

    Baylis also invented a mobile phone that ispowered by5. The shoes contain (含有) a small battery that is powered when you6.This battery is connected to a mobile phone. These two simple inventions canbring modern7to all parts of the world.

    Baylis didn't have a university degree inengineering. In8, he left high school before graduating(毕业). He just loved9thingsto help people. He never knew10ideas would come to him.The idea for the phone came to him in a dream.

    Hangzhou won its bid (申办) for the 2022 Asian Games on September 16th, 2015. It will be the third time that the Games are held in a Chinese city after Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010.

    The well-known capital city of Zhejiang Province in the southeast part of the country has a population of 9. 47 million. It is a beautiful city with a long history and it has been developing rapidly in recent years. Hosting the Asian Games will give the city another chance to grow.

    "We have seen here the strong wish and the great effort of Hangzhou to host the 19th Asian Games." The OCA (亚奥理事会) President praised.

    The Games are set to include 34 sports. Some venues (场馆) have already been completed, while several others are still being built and will be put into use one year before the Games. The Asian Games will be held from September 10 to 25, when the temperature is around 20℃.

    "There is no doubt that the event will attract more visitors to experience the beauty and charm of this amazing city. At the same time, more roads will be built and the underground will be added, reducing heavy traffic. But the best part is that it will give us the chance to watch world-class competitions close to our homes." Shao Lin, a local person, told the reporter excitedly.

    With the Asian Games in Hangzhou in September and the World Cup in Qatar (卡塔尔) in November, 2022 will be an exciting year for Asians, especially Chinese sports fans.

    Hangzhou is trying its best to get ready for the big sports show. Hangzhou is waiting to see you in 2022!

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that family members, and particularly(尤其是)their parents, don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members. However, parents often try to choose their children's friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.

The next day, Peter came, feeling very angry at the changes. Heidi was always busy with the strange new child. All summer long Heidi hadn't played with him. And today she was coming at last. But again, she would come with this stranger.

Then, Peter saw the wheelchair. He carefully looked around. Then he pushed it down the mountain. He felt a little worried and afraid so he ran away and hid himself in a bush.

Just then, Heidi came out of the house. Her grandfather and Clara came next. Not seeing the wheelchair, Heidi's grandfather decided to carry Clara to the top. As he was getting ready, he wondered why Peter was late.

To their surprise, when they arrived at the top, they saw Peter lying on the ground.

Grandfather put Clara down on the grassland and then went home. The three stayed there. Heidi remembered the place with many flowers. She wanted to take Clara there. She called Peter to help. Peter went to Clara unwillingly. Heidi asked him to help raise Clara from the ground on one side. Heidi helped on the other.

With the encouragement of Heidi, Clara tried a step and soon another. "Oh, Heidi,I can do it! Oh, I really can! Just look! I can take steps!" she said happily.

Heidi cried happily, "Oh, Clara, can you really? Can you walk? Now you can walk, Clara,"

Peter arrived home late that day. He saw many people talking around the wheelchair. What if they found out the truth? A policeman might arrive. They might take him away to prison. Peter's hair stood on end at this thought.

The next morning, Peter admitted his mistake. Clara's family forgave him. What Peter had done turned out to be the greatest good for Clara.
