Mr. Smith stood at the bus stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the cars were new Beta400s, 1 most of them were yellow. Mr. Smith always 2 the same clothes as other men, ate the same 3 as other people, and did the same things after work, and 4 the end of the week, Mr. Smith did not like to be 5.

    The following week, Mr. Smith bought a new, bright, yellow Beta400. He was very 6 with it, and drove to work in it 7 the next day. He was even more pleased with his new car, when he 8 all the other Beta400s, in front, behind, and on 9 sides of it.

    Mr. Smith parked his car in a big car-park near his office, and walked the 10 of the way. But when he came back at five o'clock, there were 11 many bright yellow Beta400s in the car-park that Mr. Smith did not know 12 car was his. He tried his 13 in some of the cars, but people passing by 14 him a look that he did not like. So he stopped.

    15 Mr. Smith had to wait for nearly two hours until his was the only yellow Beta400s in the car-park.

    It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain 1 almost a month. The crops were dying. If we 2see some rain soon, we would lose everything.

    I was making lunch in the kitchen when I saw my3 son, Billy, walking towards the woods. He was walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes later, he was once again walking towards the woods. I4 stand it any longer. I went out of the house and followed him.

    He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill (溢出）the water he carried.

    As I came closer, I saw 5 sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked straight up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. But the deer 6 hurt him nor even moved as Billy got down. And then I saw a baby deer7on the ground, thirsty, lift its head to lap up(舔) the water in my boy's hands. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap. Billy opened it and let the drip slowly fill up his “cup”.

    8he stood up and began to turn back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes9with tears. Very quickly, he explained10he was not wasting water. The week before, he had made 11 same trouble with our horses,12caused him a lecture from his father about the importance of not wasting water.

    This time, I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him 13 the baby deer alone , for it was 14job. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they 15 by other drops... more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. All I can say is that the rain came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved the little deer.

    Once upon a time, there lived a kind king. But the king was also very1. He would not do anything other than eat and sleep. He became fatter and fatter, and finally found it difficult to move his2– even his feet.

    The king invited doctors from different parts of his country to make him3. But no one could help the king lose weight.

    One day, an old man visited the country. He heard about the king's4. He volunteered (自愿) to help the king lose some weight. The king decided to let him5.

    The old man lived6. He said that the king had to come to him and asked the king to come for treatment the next day. But the king would have to7there, the old man added.

    The king came the next day.8, the old man was not there. His son asked the king to come and meet his father the next day.

    The king came every day for two weeks, but he never once saw the old man. But he did notice that he felt a lot9. He had lost some weight. He finally realized why the old man had asked him to walk so far.

    Will you put others' needs before your own? What 1 will you get if you do? Here is an experience of mine.

    It was a wet day and I had a 2time. I was busy and everyone I talked to was in a bad mood(心情). What's more, I went out without breakfast and I left my 3at home. So I couldn't get lunch and was terribly hungry.

    When I finished my work, I 4to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy 5. Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my 6meal of the day at 5:00 p.m.

    As I was halfway home, my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in 7and needed a lift(搭便车)home. My mind said, “I will get him 8I get the meal.” But my mouth said, “All right, I'll give him a 9”

    He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how 10he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the 11stopped him from making that journey.

    Traffic was 12. A drive to his home normally took 10 minutes, but that day it took 30 minutes.

    Now you would guess the person that I was helping is a 13friend of mine. But, in fact, he is a friend of a friend's.

    I wonder if I will ever see this person again, but I feel glad I was there when he 14me.

    So you will feel yourself helpful and useful when you 15more about others.

    This story happened in a small mountain village. One day there was an earthquake. Nothing was destroyed and 1 was hurt. But a huge rock fell from a nearby mountain and stopped in the middle of the road.

    When the earthquake 2, many people came to the road and saw the huge rock. Some of the strongest men tried to lift the rock 3 the road. But they couldn't move it.' They tried to push it but failed. They tried to 4 it with ropes but nothing worked.

    "Well," they all agreed, "there's nothing we can do about it. We'll have to change the 5." At this time a boy of 12 years old said, "I think I can help you to move the rock."

    "You?" they shouted." What are you talking about?" The men all 6at the boy.

    The next morning some people came to the road. One of them shouted," The rock is 7!" More people ran out to see it. It was right. The rock wasn't in the road any more. It wasn't 8 near the road.

    "This is 9 ， " they said." Where did it go?"

    The boy stood on the road, 10, "I told you I could move it. "

    The boy walked over to where the 11 had been and uncovered some earth. "I buried it," he said.

    The people looked 12"You see," he said, "I dug a deep hole next to the rock and I dug a small incline(斜坡) up to the rock and the rock 13 down into the hole by itself. I covered it with earth. "

    The crowds shouted," What a 14 boy!" And some of them said, "Why haven't we thought of this good 15 ?"
