A great thing happened once. I was driving home to Maryland from visiting friends in Texas. I was going up the road and all of a sudden my car just would not go. It was a Sunday and cold outside. The only person I could get hold of was an old man with a tow (拖) truck .

The old man was probably around age 75 or older, and he was freezing, too. He was pretty deaf, so to talk with him, I had to scream (大声喊)! But we talked and talked. He talked my ear off, and I talked his off. I told him I had no money to fix anything seriously wrong with the car, so if the news was bad, I would have to junk it and take the bus home.

He towed my car to a small Texas town about an hour’s drive from the middle of nowhere where I had broken down. The next day, the auto (汽车) shop called and said I needed a new engine in my car. My motor had blown up! I asked if I could just leave the car there for them.

They said the old man had told them to put in a new motor and send me on my way. I told them I could not afford to pay. They said that the old man who came out to get me that Sunday owned the auto repair shop and was very rich. He said just to give me a new motor and whatever else I needed and tell me to get the car.

Now, every time I see someone in need I try to do all I can for them. I will never forget this man’s generosity (慷慨) and care for his fellow human being. I will follow your example, and I know you are up in heaven watching since I was only 18 at the time and now I’m 40, but never got to say thanks. ? Who knows, maybe the Internet has reached heaven!

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.

Many people like to watch others play games. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when “their” player or team wins.

Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many love to skate or skirt in Japan, Norway or Canada.

Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.
