It was a winter morning,just a couple of weeks before Christmas. While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometres away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After putting in 10 hours of labour,he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike,a black Kona 18 speed,was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货) ,saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the news?paper and told them our story. Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike,then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honour that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another,but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we,too,can share with others. No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be First, you must ask yourself, "Where is the wind coming from?

First, you must ask yourself, "Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?" You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let's start with the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90°angle(角)to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45°an-gle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap(摆动).It shouldn't look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flap?ping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in anoth?er. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
