They crossed in front of me as I was driving out of the store parking lot.I would be delayed for a whole ten seconds.However，I realized that it was an elderly couple.No more anger.
The man leaned on his wife who walked in front of him.He not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind.She was his eyes as well.The two of them worked as one—each needing the other to function in this fast?changing world.That little example of true strength that day changed my whole personal perception of life.Suddenly I wasn't so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturday.I had my strength，and I was still relatively young.
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严，自尊)and strength stayed with me the entire week.My life wasn't so bad after all.I had my health and a good job.My wife always gave me good advice whenever I needed it.I started to think—not only was I lucky to have it all，but also was that wonderful old couple，who，despite the trials and sufferings of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world.
There are so many people out there just like that couple.My wife and I sometimes picture ourselves in our old age，walking arm in arm into the sunset.That image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort.Just remember，none of us would be here if it wasn't for our elders.We should spend an extra minute listening and learning when it comes to helping our elder friends.They need it.

阅读快车系列答案I`m Mary. I liked doing chores when I was young. My mother started teaching us to cook when we were five or six because my father was at home for only two days a month, so my mother had to do everything. She had to grow rice, feed the dog and the children and cook for us. When we were five or six years old, we all began to help mum do the housework. My eldest sister Lora helped our mother reap the crops on the farm, my second eldest sister Daisy did the washing, and I cooked for the family. When my sister finished their work, they both came to help me. I can still remember the tears in my mother`s eyes when she saw the first dishes we cooked. When I was seven, I went to school. But I decided to come home every day and cook for the family because I know it`s my duty to share the housework with my mother.
