Dick was driving a large American car. As soon as the race started, he pulled out in front. As the race went on, he kept the first place. And he was far ahead of Wilson, the man in the second place.
When the race was almost over, some people stood up and left. “Why did stay?” they thought. They were sure they knew who would win.
But things did not go as they thought. A strange noise came from Dick’s car. It slowed down. Something was wrong. Dick knew his car would not go far. His only hope was that he would make it to the finish. But on his last lap(赛圈), the car stopped. Wilson’s car roared (呼啸) by. Dick saw it go by. He knew he could not win now. “But I can finish the race,” he thought. And he got out of his car. So did his assistant. They began to push the car to the finish.
Wilson went by them again and again. He was on his last lap. He was going to win. Dick and his friend did not care. They went on pushing.
At first, all eyes were on Wilson. He crossed the line. And the race was over. He won! Dick and his friend pushed on. At last, the car crossed the line. By then all the people shouted for them. They shouted more than they did for Wilson. This was a different kind of winner!

One day I found a little girl sitting in the park unhappily. Lots of people passed by but never

Perhaps that was the reason w 2.   people just passed by and make no effort (努力)to help. I sat down beside her and said, “Hello!” Then she, in a low v 3.   said, “Hi.” I smiled and she smiled b 4.   , shyly. Then we talked there u  5.  it got dark. I asked the girl why she was so sad.

“But, you make me t 6.   of an angel (天使), sweet and friendly,” I said. She looked at me and asked, “Really?” I said, “Yes, I think you are an angel and you come here to watch over all those people walking by.” When she h  7.  this, the little girl jumped up. “I am!

After that, my life also changed. I learned how to s  9.  both happiness and sadness with others. I believe now we give something to others in the s   10.  way we get the same.
