广东省广州市荔湾区第四中学2024-2025学年八年级上学期10月月考英语试题
I was doing the work in the garden yesterday. It was a soft evening and I was making the most of it when I heard a neighbor's voice coming from the path out of our garden.
I found there was a man lying on his back on the path with his eyes closed. I recognized him. I had seen him doing the drunkard's(酒鬼) walk along that path several times.
I stopped to walk out. " Do you need some help?"I asked.
He opened his eyes and said, " Probably. " Then he told me because of arthritis(关节炎) he couldn't walk well at the most of times. I thought I should do it when he asked to help him go home where he lived a few hundred metres away.
I tried to let him walk under his own strength with me guiding him but that was getting us nowhere. It was easier to carry him, but that would be a real insult(侮辱) to him. So, I held his left hand with my left hand and grabbed his belt with my right hand. Then we started walking slowly.
On the way he told me his name, what he had worked as, what holidays he had been, how wonderful his granddaughter was, what his wife's name was, and what a hard time she would give him when he got home!
Thank goodness! His wife wasn't in when we walked forty- five minutes back to his home.
If we wait until we feel good about helping before we help, then people will go unhelped and we will become the ones who end up walking on by.
