Hans says to his friend Kurt，“I'm going to take my car and drive to London.” Kurt says, “Driving to London is very difficult. You aren't going to find your hotel.” But Hans is not afraid. He drives to Calais, puts his car on his ship, takes it off at Dover, and drives to London.
He stops near the city and looks at his map. Then he drives into London, but he doesn't find his hotel. He drives round and round for an hour, and then he stops and gets out of his car. A taxi comes, and Hans stops it. “Take me to the Brussels Hotel,” he says. But he doesn't get into the taxi, he gets back into his car. The taxi man laughs, but then he drives to the Brussels Hotel and Hans follows him in his car. They get to the hotel in two minutes(两分钟后).

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 man came up and knocked at the window to ask the time. The driver opened his eyes and looked at his watch."It's 8 a.m," he said. Then he went to sleep again.
But soon he woke up because a second person was knocking at the window. "Sir, do you have the time?"he asked. The driver looked at his watch again, and told the man it was 8:30 a.m..
At this rate (照此下去), he could not have a good rest, so he wrote a short note and put it up on the window for all to see. It said, "I don't have the time."
Again the man lay down in the seat for his sleep. A few minutes later, a third person came along and began knocking at the window. "Hey, sir," he said, "it's a quarter to nine."

Don't listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It's not true at all. More and more people in the USA volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don't do it for money. Here are some of their stories.
