One day when I was about 12, I went to a restaurant for dinner with my family.
When my mom and I walked to the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. My mom immediately（立即）asked where they kept their things. "That old car across the street, " said the girl. "Six of my family live in it. "
My mom said she had something to do, and after handing them a few dollars, we said goodbye. But she didn't come.
About one hour later, my mom came back. She said she went home and brought some food and clothes to the girl. She told me that we were lucky and that the girl's family wasn't so lucky. I remembered that girl—she was the same age as me, but we looked so different. I dressed in almost new clothes but her clothes were so old. "My mom really did the right thing, " I thought to myself.
Until now, I still remember that night. On that night, my mom taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned.

A boy named Jacob was riding in a car along with his family. He was drinking a can(罐）of soda when his father drove the family home. After Jacob finished his soda, he rolled down （摇下）the window and threw the can out of the car.
After seeing what he did, his mother turned around to him and said, "Jacob! Don't throw your trash out of the car!
"But it was just one can…" Jacob replied.
"That may be so. But what if everybody did that?" she said. But Jacob didn't think much about her question. "
The next day, one of Jacob's classmates was celebrating her birthday in class. Her mother had brought a nice cake to class for everyone to share. But then Jacob came to the cake and licked off（舔掉）some of the frosting（糖霜）!However, Jacob's teacher noticed what he had done.
"Jacob!You shouldn't lick off frosting of a cake that everyone else is going to eat!" his teacher shouted.
"But it was only one lick…" Jacob replied.
"That may be so. But what if everybody did that?" she said.
This time, Jacob really did think about what would happen. If everyone licked the cake, it would be destroyed. If everyone threw trash out of their cars, the roads would be full of rubbish. It was then that Jacob realized how small actions can lead to big consequences（后果）.
It's not necessary for friends to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different ①________ me. He is taller and ②_________ (outgoing) than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, he often helps to bring out the best in me. So I'm getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard—working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.

A soldier who was at war looked after his horse with great care. He gave it the best grass to eat and the cleanest water to drink. He kept its coat clean and covered it with a warm quilt on cold nights. As a result, the horse was strong and served the soldier quite well in the war.
However, the soldier changed after the war. He made the horse live in a small and cold stable（马厩）and gave it very little food to eat. The stable had a leaky（漏雨的）roof and a floor made of mud; the water inside was dirty and muddy. The soldier made the horse work hard on his farm, carrying heavy things every day.
After some time, another war broke out. The soldier took out his weapons and prepared to join the battle. He went to the stable to lead his horse. He laid a leather saddle on its back and rode on it.
For a moment, the horse stood there and didn't move. The soldier kicked it. Then gradually, its thin legs began to kneel down slowly to the ground. The horse gave the soldier a look of sadness.
"Master, " it said, "you'll have to fight on foot this time. You have made me work like an elephant and fed me like a sheep. I'm no longer the strong horse that you once helped me become. Can you see what you've done?"
If you behave in a bad way, bad things will eventually（最后）happen to you, and if you behave in a good way, good things will eventually happen to you.
