Anna and her husband, Gray, got an unexpected delivery earlier this month after a security guard from a local grocery store appeared at their front door.
Anna said when she was in a hurry shopping at a grocery store in Kahului, she lost her wallet. But luckily, one of the store's security guards, Johnson, found the wallet. After he finished his work that day, he rode a bike over 5 miles to Anna's address to return the wallet.
When asked, Johnson said, "You know, I once lost a wallet too and it's the worst thing in the world. I was just doing what I felt was right. "
Anna and Gray were greatly moved because Johnson would put in so much effort to help a stranger. Gray was so thankful for Johnson's kind act that he shared the story to Facebook. One of Gray's friends,Adam, also praised Johnson's selflessness and he organized a GoFundMe to raise money to buy him a car. Before Christmas, they sent the car to Johnson, who had been riding a bike to and from work for the past five years.
"It means a lot," said Johnson when he received the gift. "It's not only about having better transportation. I can do more for my family now. That's the bigger part of the picture. " Johnson said he thanked the Anna family for their kindness, although he still believed he did not do much. He said he only did what he believed was right.
Why do animals migrate or move? They do so to find a place that will offer better living conditions. Not all animals migrate, but those that migrate are attempting to help the survival of their species. There are a variety of reasons why animals leave. Some migrate to avoid weather changes. Some leave because of the food supply. Unlike humans who migrate because of relationships, job changes, or other social reasons, animals migrate to survive.
There are different types of migration, but one of the most interesting is the seasonal migration. In seasonal migrations, animals move twice a year. These movements usually occur due to changes in the seasons or in the weather. For example, some birds migrate away from colder regions to warmer weather and then come back to a place once the colder weather has passed.
How do animals know when it is time to migrate? Some animals do not leave until the environment changes and becomes a place that is not favorable for them to live. Other animals seem to have inborn systems that tell them when it is time to leave.
Animals that migrate use many different ways to successfully reach their destinations. Scientists believe animals' senses play a huge role in helping them find their way. For example, salmon(三文鱼)are thought to recognize specific smells that help them. Others are thought to use even the sun, moon, and stars to help guide them on their journeys. Although the animals use different methods to migrate, one thing is the same: migration remains an important journey for the survival of many of Earth's most amazing species.
I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose to study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at computer to do some research on great women of China.
By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sickness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text and realized that it was intended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency, they could not reach a doctor.
Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time. That was a generation when girls' education was always placed second to boys. Was she so much cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day's work, went late to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
By this time I was very excited. Why not study at a medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work?
After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.
Go to class
If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step (步) in studying well. If you miss (错过) classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important; as a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test. .
Take good notes
Try not to write down everything. . Write down unfamiliar terms (术语). After class, review your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind.
If you are struggling (挣扎) in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy (同情) for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.
Take part in class discussions
In order to learn more in class, it is helpful to take part in class discussions. Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your focus during the class discussion. . This helps you make your point clear in class.
Form study groups
Get students together who want to do well in class. Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it. ! Sometimes group sessions (上课时间) can become chatting sessions.
