I joined a club called "Passing Help" last month. Now let me tell you 1 I joined it.

    One2 this February, my old car broke down on my way home. It was far away from my home. I wanted to get a ride in somebody else's car, but it was dark and there was no car. It was also 3 to take a taxi. I decided to take a bus home. I went to a bus stop nearby.

    After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman. She was 4 and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about half an hour, but no bus came. 5 a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver.

    "When I reached the bus station, I 6 to know that there was no bus to your town at this late hour, so I returned here. I just can't 7 you here," she said. "Get in my car and I will take you back to your home."

    "It is a long way, "I said.

    "8^, sir, "she said. "Let's go."

    On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, her car ran out of gas(汽油). An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her9^.

    When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't 10 it. "I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along," she said.

    Young Scottish brothers take on a list of 500 adventures

    For Ollie and Harry Ferguson, life is an adventure. For the past four years, the brothers have been working to1a list of 500 challenges and experiences.

    "The idea came about actually from the boys," their father, MacNeill Ferguson, said. "The boys were just asked one day if they could2 some cool things for us to do as a family. They put forward some impossible ideas firstly, like going on a trip to Mars, International Sausage Day and all kinds of3 kids requests. They built the list to a hundred, then kept finding new things we wanted to go and try ... until it got up to 500." They're all listed on the brothers' Facebook page.

    So far they have built an igloo, explored the wilderness, and sent their Lego men to the depths of the ocean and into outer space. Perhaps their biggest 4is playing out right now on the high seas. Last year, Ollie and Harry launched(使下水) a toy ship from the Scottish coast. The ship named "Adventure" sailed across the North Sea to Scandinavia. It then began a ride on a Norwegian boat and was launched 5, this time off the coast of west Africa. It's equipped with a tracking device(跟踪器), allowing the brothers to6every step of the sailing.  But the battery(电池) on the tracking device is becoming weak, so Harry and Ollie hope a passing ship 7 their boat and is able to recharge(充电) its battery, allowing the adventure to continue.

    "Harry, where would you like the boat to go?" Ferguson asked. "Without (a) 8 , that would be China because we all love China." Harry answered. He thought that even there are so many difficulties, the boat will reach China.

    Anna comes from England. She is 18. She is going to 1 with the Wang family for a year. Anna comes to 2 because she wants to learn Chinese. She helps Mrs. Wang do housework and goes to 3 classes every Wednesday and Friday afternoon. Anna is new in Beijing. Everything is 4 to her. She finds the 5 is different from that in London. Some things are nice in Beijing,6 things are not so nice. The shops are bigger in Beijing than those in London.7 it's very expensive to enjoy yourself in Beijing. It's expensive to have a 8 in a restaurant or go to a cinema. Anna has got used to (习惯) many things already. But she can't get used to the 9 in Beijing, “You Chinese eat so much in the morning,” she often says. “Fruit, porridge, egg, tea and bread. How can you face(面对) all that food so 10 in the day?”
