Many years ago, an earthquake happened suddenly. A lot of buildings collapsed(倒塌)。 It killed over 100,000 people in a few minutes. Shortly after the earthquake, a father rushed to the school where his son studied only to find the building had fallen down. He remembered his promise to his son:“No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!”The tearful father began to dig to look for his son. Some parents felt hopeless and tried to pull him off. But he asked,“Are you going to help me now?”And then he kept on digging. The fireman came.They tried to pull off and said,“Danger! Leave here!” But the father who loved his son deeply,asked,“Are you going to help me now?”The policeman came up and said,“It's over.Leave here!We'll do it.”Still he asked again and again,“Are you going to help me now?”He went on alone because he needed to know,“Is my boy alive or is he dead?” He dug for 8 hours ...12 hours... 24 hours …36 hours …then, in the 38^th hours, he pulled back a large stone And heard his son's voice. He cried,“Tom!”He heard back,“Dad? It's me, Dad! I told other kids you'd save me. I believe you would keep your promise.”"Get out, boy!”“No dad! Let the other kids out first. Because I know you'll get me out! No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!”

    Christmas is coming. James and Ted write letters to Santa Claus. Both boys ask him for the same thing a bike. They ask for only one, because they want to ride together. Is it sweet?

    After dinner, the two boys go to bed. James says, "Ted, if Santa Claus gives us the bike, Jim can be our teacher and teach us how to ride it. "

    "Oh, yes. It's really great. Can I ride first, James?" Fed asks.

    "Why? I want to ride it first!" James is not happy.

    Mum hears their words and comes in. She says, "Boys, Santa Claus wants you to be good brothers. Then he'd like to give you the present. " James and Ted say sorry to each other and go to sleep in each other's arms.

    Mum says to Dad, "Should we buy two bikes for them?"

    "No, we shouldn't. They must learn to share things with each other." says Dad.

    Twenty years ago, my father, John, wanted to be a businessman. He wanted to be rich. So he worked very hard and every day he went home very late.

    One night when he came home from work, a robber stopped him and wanted to take his money. My father was very afraid. He didn't want to lose his money. But he didn't know what to do. Luckily a policeman came and caught the robber. My father thanked the policeman politely.

    Now my father is a policeman. He wants to help other people.

Zhu Xiangbing has been teaching at the Dongxi Primary School in the mountains of Hubei Province for 39 years. He has helped over 200 students get out of the mountains.

Back in 1984, Zhu graduated from middle school and was preparing to take the exam to enter high school. One day, the leader of his village came to visit him and asked if he would like to be the teacher at the village's primary school. It was a hard decision for Zhu to make. Accepting the job meant he would not be able to leave the village, but if he refused the offer, the students there would be left with no teacher.

After spending a whole night thinking, Zhu decided to take the offer. Then he began to work hard to learn teaching skills. Besides learning from his own teachers, he also taught himself in his spare time. Quickly, Zhu became a good teacher. Zhu often walks for several hours on mountain roads to visit his students' homes. He encourages them to study hard. With his help, more than 30 students from poor families have been able to go to school and receive education.

Because of the school's terrible working and living conditions, many teachers don't want to stay there. To get them to stay, Zhu tries his best to make them feel at home. He often invites them to live and eat in his house.

Over the years, Zhu has had many opportunities (机会) to leave the village, but he has turned all of them down. "I want to stay and help more young teachers grow and take root (扎根) here so that our kids can get a good education," he said.
