Mike is 13 years old, and he is interested in collecting stamps. He began to collect stamps when he was 8 years old. He spends all his pocket money on stamps. Sometimes his parents send him stamps when he does well in his study. Therefore, Mike collects a lot of stamps. He often shows his stamps to his friends and his neighbours (邻居). He usually goes to his mail box (信箱) to get letters after school. He wants the stamps from them. One day, Mike went to the mail box to get letters. But there were no letters in his box. He found a letter in the box next to his. The letter is to Mrs Green. There was a beautiful stamp on the letter. So he got off the stamp carefully and hurried home. After he went home, he was afraid that Mrs Green would know he got her stamp. On the morning of the next day, Mike put the stamp back to Mrs Green's box and then went to school. When he came back from school, he met Mrs Green. She smiled to Mike. Mike smiled, too.
My name is Sam. I joined a club called "passing help" last month. Now let me tell you why I joined it.
One evening this May, on my way home my old car broke down (出故障). It was 25 miles from my home. I wanted to get a ride (搭便车), but there was no car. It was also hard 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 kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last 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 got to know that the bus to your town couldn't come, so I returned here. I just can't leave you here," she said." Get in my car and I will take you back to your home."
"It is a long way," I said.
"Come on, sir," she said. "Let's go."
On the way, she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn't gas (汽油) in her car. An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.
When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't accept it. "I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along," she said.
Winter is the best season of the year. In winter, the weather is usually cold and there are few hours of daylight. The winter months in North America are December, January, February and March.
Animals have special ways of preparing themselves for winter. Some animals, like birds and butterflies travel a long way to warm places during the winter months. Other animals such as bears go to sleep in winter. But ants don't go to warm places or go to sleep. They collect food in autumn, so they have plenty of food to eat in winter.
In some areas, winter is a time when snow falls onto the ground, People can make snowmen. And when the water in lakes and ponds freezes (结冰), people can go skating and take part in other activities on ice. Some people even cut a hole in the ice and go ice fishing!
