It isn't hard for everyone to grow up into a responsible members of society.

I can well remember an accident that happens on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I was on my way to bookstore and was waiting for the green light at a crossing when a girl of about ten was knocked down by a passing car, what drove off quickly. A man immediately rushed to the girl to give him first aid and I joined in without hesitation. Lucky she was not badly injured but we sent her to the nearest hospital. Comparing with the escaped driver, I am pride of what I did.

As a member of society, I am aware of that being responsible is what it takes to make a better society.

   I was one of the young US soldiers in Saudi Arabia. At one time before the Internet，our only lifeline to friends and family was the mail we sent and received.

One evening the mail soldier called my name and，instead of a letter，handed me a large box from my grandmother in Oklahoma. One of the great hardships of the war for me was the absence of my grandmother's cooking—her fried chicken and onion，corn bread，and，most of all，her desserts. But on that evening I was about to take a gastronomic（美食的） journey home: I opened the box and found two dozen pies made by my grandmother.

A man from New York approached and asked me what I had received. I couldn't answer；my mouth was full of pie. So I just offered him one. “So nice！”he said. “What are they？”He had to wait a few moments for an answer，but eventually I explained. As insurance，I offered him another pie to keep him quiet.

Once a day for the next three weeks，I imagined returning home to my grandmother's kitchen，if only I had had a few sweet bites at a time.

Some of my earliest memories are associated with my grandmother's pies. She had been baking pies since before the Great Depression. She would have astonished the judges on today's TV cooking challenges. I remember coming across a persimmon（柿子）tree once while out hiking. It was autumn，and the fruit was soft and sweet. I picked a few dozen and brought them to Grandma. Guess what！The next day I walked into her kitchen to find a persimmon pie waiting for me.

   April Fool’s Day is a day for all of us to have some fan and play a few jokes on our friends or even on strangers. The story below will show what I mean. Enjoy it!

On April 1, all kids will have a safe place to surf the Web. Nations around the world have started a plan to make a new World Wide Web — just for kids! You can now surf safely without running into anything not proper for kids.

Beginning on April 1, all kids have to register (注册) with the World Wide Web for Kids(www4k). You will no longer be able to surf the “www”.

The World Wide Web for Kids, will only contain selected (挑选的) websites proper for kids under 13. A group of experts will review all content on it. All kids under 13 must surf this section of the World Wide Web — if kids under 13 are caught on the “regular” Web they may face serious fines.

All the nations can track (跟踪) all computers online and will be able to find if a child under 13 is surfing the wrong section of the Web. You will be kicked out of the regular “www” and sent to the new World Wide Web for Kids section. Your parents will then be told that you have been on the wrong Web.

All proper websites will now have to use “www4k”. For example, children’s familiar http://kidsturncentral.com will now be located at http://kidsturncentral.www4k.

Register now before you are told you are on the wrong Web! It’s free.
