When I finished my work，I to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy .Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my meal of the day at 5:00 p.m.

As I was halfway home，my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in and needed a lift home. My mind said，“I will get him I get the meal.” But my mouth said，“All right, I’ll give him a .”

He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the stopped him from making that journey.

was a mess. A drive to him normally took 10 minutes, but that day it took 30 minutes.

Have you been asked for money by some disabled beggars (乞丐) while you’re enjoying shopping? Do you have any pity on them who are so poor and lonely or do you just feel afraid of their terrible shapes? As one of the most special groups, disabled people’s living conditions — not only their material (物質(zhì)的) conditions, but their mental (精神的) world — really need improvement.

The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First, don’t look down upon them. Don’t be afraid of looking at the terrible shapes of the disabled. Try to treat them equally. Because they are a part of the society ,we can’t discard (拋棄) them. The second is to help them as much as we could. If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people, that would be very nice. That does help not only to the disabled people but also to yourself because you will feel good after your kind action.

If every one of us gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful wonderland!

Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates(極塊). For example, at San Francisco the Pacific（太平洋的） Plate which is moving towards the northwest meets the North American Plate. The Pacific Plate is moving very slowly-at 5. 3 centimetres a year. Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years. Then suddenly, they jump and an earthquake is felt. As the movement of these plates, West America near the sea has always been a bad place for earthquakes. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific Plate jumped 5-6 metres to the north.

We cannot stop earthquakes, but we can do things to make sure they don't destroy(毀壞) the whole of cities. First ,it is not a good idea to build houses along the lines, where two of the earth's plates join together. Second, if you think there may be an earthquake, it is better to build houses on rock not on sand. Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may stay up.
