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.

    I was born with a heart disease. As I grew up, parts of my heart started to1and I was often out of breath. So when I was eight, the doctors opened up my chest to2it.

    My friends and I joined a two-day survival training course in the mountains. The first day was really 1 there was so much to do! Arriving at the campsite, We were divided into group and given a tent, some food, a2 and a compass, Sunning next to a small river, Fanny 3 camping in the grassy area nearby. However, our instructor, Mr. Lee, pointed out that it might flood if it rained. In the end, we found a higher area. Putting up the tent was very hard. Luckily Mr. Lee helped us a lot.

    By the time we had put up the tent, everyone was really hungry." We wouldn't have got this hungry if we had brought some snacks, "Peter said. We all told him to4 complaining and help us start a fire to cook our food 5. Realizing we were having trouble making the fire, he finally6.

    The next day started early, Woken by a strange noise, Peter went to see what was happening." some cows have eaten our breakfast! " he shouted.

    "That's all because you didn't 7 the food properly last night," said Mr. Lee.

    Worried that Mr. Lee was angry with us, we tried very hard on our next task-using the map and compass to find a secret location. We made it to the location8 the other groups did. We all felt very proud of 9.

    The survival training course was a great 10.Now I feel I could survive anywhere!

    One's education starts from family, especially 1 his or her mother. Here is a story that happened in my childhood.

One Saturday morning, I was watching TV in the living room with my two brothers. My mum 2 several apples of different colors and sizes. She put all the apples on the table, then 3 me and my younger brothers, "Which do you like?" 4 my younger brothers and I wanted the biggest one. 5 I could say "The biggest one", one of my brothers stood up and said what I wanted to say.

    My mum 6 the biggest apple and said to us, "It is 7 to get the biggest apple. Many people want the best thing, but few really get it. Now let's start a 8 . Look at the lawn(草坪) in front of our 9. I'll divide it into three parts. Each of you must finish pruning(修剪) 10 own share. The best and quickest one will be 11 the biggest apple." I won the apple finally.

    Since then, I have learned to try my best to succeed whenever I get a chance. I work 12 to get what I want. That was what my mother advised me to do. I feel very thankful to my mum because she taught me a very basic but the most 13 lesson. It is quite fair that we can get what we want 14 competing. My mother kept teaching us in this way and we followed her 15 all the time.

    I do believe that mother is the first teacher of children, who can teach them to be a No.1 pursuing person.
