The day before yesterday, when Peter's family were having dinner, Father raised an interesting question, "Was there anything in our past that we feel ashamed of, guilty about, or regretted? Maybe we can find ways to say sorry, or take some action to right any wrongdoing.”This seemed like a very private matter, but Peter thought about it carefully the whole night.

 Peter remembered an incident from middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone, who none of the kids liked. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found a can of red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The next day, the whole school saw these words. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his two classmates in his office. His classmates said that they had done it but Peter lied,denying the truth. No one ever talked about it.

 This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. “Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago? I want you to know that I did it.”"I knew it!" Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a lively discussion. Neil's closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me… for your sake.”

 Peter knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, it is never too late to clear up the past and make a fresh start.

    Bob is an artist. He owns a house in New York. One afternoon when he drives home from work, his three children are playing in the garden. Some of his flowers are broken. The door of his wife's car is open, and the front door of the house is open, too.

    When he walks in the house, his house is messy. In the living room, the TV is on. Toys and clothes are everywhere. In the kitchen, dirty plates and bowls are in the sink(水槽). Breakfast food and dog food are everywhere. A broken glass is under the table.

    Bob runs fast and looks for his wife. He worries about her. Is she sick? He finds her in the bedroom. She is staying in the bed and reading a book. She looks at him and smiles.

    Bob ask, “What's up today?”

    She again smiles and answers, “You always ask me what I do today when you come home.”

    “Yes.” Says Bob.

    “Today I don't do it.” She smiles again.

A group of American high school students built a bus stop shelter(遮蔽物) for a 5- year- old boy Ryder Killam.

There is something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with Ryder's legs. Every morning, he has to wait for the school bus outside in his wheelchair(轮椅). {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it's only about 20 meters from his house to the bus stop, it is quite a long way for Ryder.

At first, Ryder's family {#blank#}3{#/blank#} up a big umbrella, so Ryder could sit under it when he waited. But it didn't {#blank#}4{#/blank#} when the weather was bad. They tried {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a few other ways but they hardly ever worked, either. They decided to ask the community for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

Some high school {#blank#}7{#/blank#} heard about the news and wanted to give the little boy a hand. They worked for weeks and built a nice shelter for Ryder. It is just like {#blank#}8{#/blank#} small house. Now, Ryder can stay in it when he waits for his school bus without (不用) worrying {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the bad weather.

" We are really happy to work for our community," one of the students said." And {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is pretty cool to help someone in need."
