Many years ago, when I was in high school and working weekends to pay for the extras that my family couldn’t really afford, I lost my wallet.

My old car needed gassing up in the back. I prepaid and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杠), and drove off. I hadn’t even had time to miss it when my phone rang and a man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my pocket and to my surprise, I didn’t find my wallet. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.

As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his handicapped van(残疾人车) and the ramp(斜坡) going up to the house. I was thinking that this man must have had difficulty in getting out of his van and getting my wallet off the street. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up. I was just surprised. I felt grateful.

I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him about 10 times for finding my wallet. I was stuck, though. While I didn’t want to insult him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness, and he said, “Just pass it on.” I said I would be certain to do that. I was raised to be honest in any circumstance and I would have done so, without promising this fellow I would, but I wanted to repay his kindness, so I willingly promised I would.

   My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, “_______ my job. Family to Feed.”

   Several years ago，we planned to move out of the city and buy a country house. The first ___________ was finding a suitable country house that we could afford.

Reading had a lot of benefits. It can open up our eyes because of books are full of knowledges. I like reading newspapers and magazines from that I get lots of fun and learn about what's going on around the world. I also read storybooks or novels which make me relaxing and happy. I seldom read e-books because they're bad for eyes. On weekends, I usual spend a whole afternoon read in the library. And I also read for about half an hour before going to bed every night. Now I am going to read more classics as well as English books to improve your language skills. I'm sure reading can make difference to my life.
