It seems that every time I have car trouble on the road, no one ever stops to see if I'm okay. I always spent hours on the side of the road. But one time, someone did stop to help me. And the words of the man who helped me have had a big effect (影响) on my life.

One of my tires(轮胎) went flat. I had a spare tire but no jack(千斤顶) to lift up the car. I was going to give up when a van (客货两用车) stopped behind my car and someone jumped out. It was an older Mexican man, driving with his family.

He didn't speak much English, but his daughter helped to translate between us. It was hard work, but he tried to help me put the new tire on. I tried to give him some money for his help, but he kept shaking his head "no" and refusing my money. I secretly gave it to his wife instead.

After chatting for a few minutes, we went our separate way. But when I got back in my car, I saw my money sitting in the seat. I drove back to the man and gave him the money. He refused one last time, and said to me, "Today you, tomorrow me."

These simple words have encouraged (鼓励) me to help others when I can because you never know when you're going to be the one who needs help.

5.From the story we have learned that we should give a hand to each other.

These cute seabirds have wings, but they cannot fly. They wear a black or blue-grey overcoat, and they have a white belly, a pair of short legs, and two wings that serve as flippers (脚蹼). There are 18 types of them. We must look at their heads and necks to tell one type from another. Some have a pair of long, yellow eyebrows, some have a rock star hairstyle, some have lemon-yellow and orange markings on their cheeks (脸颊), and some just have no special markings at all. When these seabirds walk on land, they look clumsy (笨拙的). Yet, when they dive into the water, they become excellent swimmers! Most of them live in places covered by snow and ice year-round in the Southern Hemisphere, but some are found in warmer areas near the equator (赤道). What are they? These cute seabirds are penguins!

King penguins and emperor penguins are the two largest types of penguins. King penguins can reach a height of 38 inches, and emperor penguins can be 48 inches tall. The smallest penguin is the little blue penguin from Australia and New Zealand—when it stands straight, it is just about 16 inches tall. Big penguins have some advantages over their smaller relatives—big penguins can stay warm easier so they can live in a colder climate; big penguins can dive deeper and stay underwater longer so they can catch food far below the water surface.
