It was a cold snowy morning after the winter vacation. And it was my first 1 at my new school. I was walking alone slowly and 2 about lots of things. It was early and there weren't many people on the road. Suddenly a girl who was 3 a bike on ice fell down. She was trying hard to get up but fell again. 4 thinking, I went over and helped her. She said “5” with a smile and then rode away. Her words warmed me a lot.

    Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the 6 and introduced me to the class. Then he asked me to sit down beside a girl. I felt so 7 that I didn't dare to look at her. Soon the first class, 8, started. Their textbooks were different from those in my old school. As I was wondering 9 to do, an English book appeared in front of me. “Let's share,” the girl beside me said, “Hi, I'm Carrie.” I 10. It was the girl I helped this morning. Later on, we became good friends.

    From that I learned: to help others is actually to help ourselves!

    Hello, everyone! I am your new friend. My name is Mike. There are 1 people in my family—my wife, my 2 and I. I was born 3 1976. My birthday is on 4 —New Year's Day. I like soccer but I 5 volleyball, I think it is 6 . My wife has a clothes store, 7 clothes are at very good prices. Many people come to her store to 8 clothes. My son is a student. He goes to 9 five days a week. His school has a(n) 10 , It is on March 11th. He likes music(音乐) very much, so he is at the festival(节,节庆) every year.

    It was a cold winter day in 1900. A little boy was walking along the street in London. His name was Jack. That day he couldn't have breakfast or lunch. He wanted to buy some bread, 1he didn't have any money.

    Jack's father died when he was very 2. His mother was often very sick, so she couldn't 3 Jack or his brother. Both of them had to work to help their mother. They worked hard.

    Jack was short but his 4was very big. His wish was to be a great man in the world of film. So he worked very hard to sing and dance. Then one day he had a chance. And he did his best in the film. Many people said excitedly, "We have never seen such a (an) 5film."

    Thirty years later, this boy was one of the most famous people in the world. He made many interesting films. A lot of people 6them.

    I just returned from a trip to New Jersey. On the way back, I was stopped by a traffic accident. This accident involved a truck carrying a lot of dangerous materials that were leaking out(外漏). This meant that we weren't going anywhere for several hours.

    After being told by the policeman that we would be sitting there until the cleanup was completed, I got out of the truck to have a rest. Other truck drivers did the same: At one point there were five of us standing by my truck, 1Another truck with two elderly people inside stopped near us. The man, Joe, let the2down and asked why no one was moving.

    Soon we were all talking with this couple. I said that if I had known about this. I would have bought something to drink, for I was becoming3. The lady, Anna said that they had plenty of water in the cooler in their truck and offered everyone something to drink. While she was back there, she said that she also had plenty of food and she could make sandwiches for us. While Anna was making the sandwiches, she was singing like a songbird. Being close to 70, I guessed, she had a remarkable voice.

    When she finished making the sandwiches, I saw a Mississippi license(执照) plate on the truck. I asked what part of Mississippi they were from. Joe said Biloxi. Knowing that Biloxi had been4by Hurricane Katrina(卡特里娜飓风). I asked him about the disaster. Joe said that they had lost almost everything. Everything they had was in the truck.

    All of us drivers tried unsuccessfully to pay them for their drinks and sandwiches.

    Joe said that their son was living around Harrisonburg, Virginia and they were going there. There was a home for sale and they were going to start all over there. Starting over5, we know, would not be easy.

    These people lost everything except the pictures and some clothes. These wonderful people lost practically everything they owned and still would not accept any money for their food and drinks. Joe said that it was better to give than to6.
