One time I decided to save money, and I drove my car. It got to California, but on the way back to Vegas it was broken. I didn't know what I should do. Then a middle-aged man drove up. He put in some coolant and repaired my car. He made it start soon.

I gave him the $12 in my wallet, and he said he would use it for the next car. Then I knew that he was a mechanic who drove up and down the highway each weekend to help the drivers in trouble.

One day a young man went to the town and bought himself a new pair of pants. When he got home, he went to his room and put them on. He found they were about two inches(英寸) long. He went into the kitchen(厨房). His mother and his two sisters were doing some washing there. He said to them,“ The new pants are too long. They need cutting(剪) by two inches. Would one of you do this for me?” His mother and sisters were busy and nobody said anything.
But after his mother finished washing, she went to her son's room and cut the pants by two inches. She came back without saying anything to her daughters. After supper, the elder sister remembered her brother's pants. She went to his room and cut the pants by two inches without saying anything to anyone. The younger sister went to the cinema. But when she came back, she also remembered her brother's pants, so she went to his room and cut them by two inches, too.

A pretty, well-dressed young lady stopped a taxi in a big square, and said to the driver, “Can you see that young man at the other side of the square?”
“Yes,” said the taxi-driver. The young man was standing outside a restaurant and looking impatiently at his watch every few seconds.
“Take me over there.” said the young lady.
There were a lot of cars and buses and trucks in the square, so the taxi- driver asked, “Are you afraid to cross the street.”
‘Oh, no !” said the young lady. “But I said that I would meet that young man for dinner at one o'c1ock, and it is now a quarter to two. If I arrive in a taxi, it will at least seem as if I have tried not to be too late.”

    Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the motion picture camera and 1200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.
    Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. He started experimenting at a young age.
    When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He did experiments on the train in his spare time. Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time in experimenting his first patent(专利权) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity.
    Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He always worked 16 out of every 24hours. Sometimes his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.
    Thomas Edison died at the age of 84. He left a great many inventions that greatly improved the quality of life all over the world.

Miss Mitra didn't want to be a Sunday school teacher any longer. The students there were all rude and never listened to her. "I give up." She shouted at the students. "Cool." Rick said. He was the most impolite kid in this school. Two months later, Miss Betty Ray came to the school. She looked young. The students thought that she wouldn't stay very long.

"Have any of you ever been out of state?" She asked in a friendly tone. A few hands went up.

"Anyone has traveled to California?" One hand went up as the disrespectful(无礼的) laugh reduced.

"Anyone visited outside the country?" No hands went up now. The silent kids were puzzled.

Betty took a map of the world from her bag.

"What else do you have there? Lunch?" Someone cracked.

Betty smiled lightly and answered, "Cookies for later." "Cool," Rick quipped(困惑的).

Then she pointed at a place on the map, "I was born here, and I lived here until I was about your age."

"Is that Texas?" Someone asked.

"No. Quite a long way from here. It is Mumbai in India."

Betty fumbled again in her bag, this time pulling out some old wrinkled pictures along with a box of chocolate chip cookies. They passed the pictures around, viewing each with great interest.

The kids studied them as they bit into the sweets.

The hour quickly slid by as she told them her stories about faraway places and what the people were like there and how they lived.

"Wow, this is as exciting as TV!" One young girl told her.

Sunday after Sunday, Betty came to class, tying her lessons to their everyday lives. She told the kids how they could make a difference right now. The students grew to love her.

Betty taught that Sunday school class for thirty years. At last, her hair grew into a natural gray.

Every now and then, she received a letter from a former student. There was a doctor, a research scientist, a homemaker, a businessman, and many teachers among them. One day she pulled out a blue envelope from her mailbox. And there was a photo in it. Squinting her eyes, she smiled at the man in the photo, still seeing the boy in him. Standing in the rubble(瓦砾), in the city of Delhi, India, he came to help the homeless people in the earthquake. Some words were written in the upper part of the photo, "Because of you, I am here now."
