    In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us, which goes like this: “Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.”

    George's mother was very poor and was sick. Instead of having bright fires in winter, she had nothing to burn but dry sticks, which George picked up from under the trees.

    One fine day in July, his sick mother sent him to the woods. He was to stay there all day, to get as much wood as he could collect.

    It was a bright, sunny day, and George worked very hard, so that by the time the sun was high, he was hot, and wished for a cool place where he might rest and eat his dinner. While he hunted for a spot about the bank he saw among the grass some fine, wild strawberries.

    "How good these will be with my bread and butter!" thought George Lining his cap with leaves, he set to work eagerly to gather all he could find, and then seated himself by the river.

    It was a pleasant place, and George felt happy and contented. He thought how much his mother would like to see him there, and to be there herself, instead of in her dark room in the village.

    George thought of all this, and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth, he said to himself. "How much Mum would like these!" and he stopped, and put the strawberry back again. "Shall I save them for her?" said he, thinking how much they would refresh her, yet still looking at them with a longing eye.

    "I will eat half , and take the other half to her", said he at last, and he divided them into two heaps(堆). But each heap looked so small, that he put them together again.

    "I will only taste one." thought he. As he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back. "I will keep them all for her." said he with great happiness, and he covered them up nicely ready to take home.

Paragraph 1

    He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to sink.

……

Paragraph 2

    Just as he had thrown down his wood, he heard his mother's weak voice calling him from the next room.……

    Be kind to others. I realize this is simple and very basic. However, it is necessary and it does make a difference. I often have people who cross my daily path to whom I can show kindness. It is often just a smile. A smile often says, "I see you. You aren't invisible to me. You are important." People need someone to care about them.

    I read a story many years ago about a man who had decided to commit suicide. He'd lost a fortune, his family and nearly everything he owned. He went to a local pawn shop to buy a gun. He planned to take the gun back to his apartment in New York City and kill himself.

    As he was getting on the elevator, a little old lady was slowly getting on too. She had a small cart she was pulling behind her and was having a little trouble getting it into the elevator. He said that he was actually a bit angry because he wanted to hurry up, get to his apartment and end his own life. He reached out to the old lady's cart and forced it as it had become stuck. He got it free easily and she got on the elevator.

    After the door closed, she looked up at him with a big smile and said, "If we had more young men like you in this world, the world would be a better place. You are so kind to help. Such a sweet young man."

    Of course, it changed his thought of going back to kill himself. He wanted to go around New York and find people that he could help and people who were struggling even with something that was as small as the little old lady's cart.

Paragraph 1:

    That day, his life changed.

Paragraph 2:

    Later, he enjoyed great success in his work and life.

    It was Hopper's day to visit his Grandma, and he had some big plans. "Let's hop (单脚跳) right down to the pond, Grandma," he said as he burst through the front door. When Hopper got excited, he just couldn't slow down. "We can go swimming, and we can have a picnic, and we can play chase!" Hopper loved going to Grandma's house, and he always looked forward to their special adventures together. Grandam was nappy to see her grandson, and she especially liked the fun they had together.

    Just as they sat down to make their plans for the day, there was a loud boom! It was raining! Hopper ran to the window to look outside. "It's raining," he cried. "Now the day is ruined!" Grandma told him not to worry. "I'm really sorry, little boy," Grandma said. "We may not be able to get to the pond but I think I have something you might enjoy."

    Walking to the bookshelf, Grandma pulled down a big photo album. They opened it and Hopper pointed at the pictures. "Grandma, that little girl looks just like you!" he said. Hoppers eyes jumped from photo to photo. "That's me when I learned to drive a car," Grandma said. Hopper liked the pictures of Grandma playing basketball and winning a race. "Oh, I was a fast little kid—just like you!" said Grandma with a proud smile. Finally, Grandma showed Hopper her favorite picture. It was a photograph of Grandma holding a little baby. "That baby is you," said Grandma.

    When it was time to go, Grandma told Hopper that next visit they would hop down to the pond. But Hopper shook his head. "If it's all right with you, I'd rather look through the photo album again."

Carter enjoyed riding the school bus home. The ride home gave him some time to relax after a busy day of fifth grade. He usually sat alone and enjoyed that too. With four siblings(兄妹) he didn't get much time alone. Sometimes he sat with his younger brother, Jackson, but Jackson was sick at home today.

The bus stopped and the tallest boy in his class, Dexter, stepped off followed by his younger brother, Billy. As the bus pulled away, Carter looked back over his shoulder to watch the boys. Dexter was yelling and waving his hands at his little brother. Billy said something Carter could not hear. Dexter yelled, gave his younger brother a hard shove and knocked him to the ground. Billy was on the ground wiping at his eyes, but Dexter walked away.

Carter turned in his seat, feeling disgusted. He hated seeing little kids get picked on (欺负). The sight of Billy on the ground crying was burned into his memory. He tried to think of something else.

He thought of the model car he was working on at home, a 1967 Corvette. He started building it over a week ago and just finished putting it together last night. Tonight, as soon as he finished his homework, he could start painting the car. That was his favorite part. He already had the perfect color of blue picked out.

He hurried off the bus, ran through his yard, and breezed through the kitchen with a quick hello to his mom. She was making spaghetti, which smelled delicious. He ran up the stairs two at a time and rushed into his room.

"Surprise!" his brother Jackson said, throwing his arms into the air. "What are you doing in my room? I thought you were sick!"

"I feel better!"

"What's on your face? Are you bleeding?"

"No! I'm not bleeding." Jackson wiped at his face. "It's probably just paint. Look! Look what I did!" He pointed at the desk in the corner of Carter's room.

Paragraph 1:

Carter looked down at his desk in horror.

Paragraph2:

Carter took a deep breath and then unfolded his fist.

It was somewhere between spring and summer my mom and I were driving through the countryside Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.

A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. "What are you doing? "I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we'd be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn't the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. "It'll just be a minute," she called back through the open windows.

My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed.

Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask," Do you know someone there?" She shook her head. "Then what did you do with the flowers?" She smiled slightly," I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员). ""What?" She laughed at my confusion. "I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn't gotten any in a while."

I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again," Did you leave your name?" To this she answered instantly," No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me. "

Suddenly, still thinking about Mom's deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn't know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.
