He was driving home one evening when he saw an old lady standing by the road.He could tell she needed help.So he stopped his car in front of her car and got out.
He smiled at her, but she was worried.Was he going to hurt her? He looked poor and hungry.
He said:“I’m here to help you ma’am.Why don’t you wait in the car? By the way ,my name is Joe.”
She had a flat tire(轮胎瘪了).Joe crawled under the car and soon he was able to change the tire.But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.She said that she couldn’t thank him enough for his help.Joe just smiled as he closed her trunk(后备箱).
She asked him how much she owed(欠)him.But Joe wasn’t thinking about the money.This was helping someone in need.He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she should lend a hand.
He waited until she had driven off and felt good as he headed for home.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café.She went in to get a bite to eat.The waitress brought a clean towel for her to wipe her wet hair.The waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕的).It was tiring for her to move about.But she did it all with a sweet smile on her face.The lady was moved by the wonderful service the waitress was giving.After the lady had finished her meal, and the waitress had gone to get her change(零钱)from a ¥100 bill, the lady slipped(溜)out the door.At her table, the waitress found something written on a napkin.
There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady had written.It said:“You don’t owe me a thing.I know life is hard for you right now.Someone once helped me out, the way I’m helping you.If you really want to pay me back, don’t let the chain(链)of love end with you.”

A 10t of teens aren't responsible(有责任感的), and that's where I'm different.Not just about school but everyday things like being able to pay my
own credit card(信用卡)bills on time.
The first time I got a cartoon book was on my third birthday.From then on,
I fell in deep love with it.And can you guess how many cartoon books I've read? I don't really know the exact number.But I have three full boxes of them under my bed.I also like drawing cartoons and wish to be an art teacher in a school.

I'm proud of doing things my own way.So whether somebody wants me to do something or whatever it is, I feel like they're all other people's thoughts, not really mine.But like others, I love reading, too.
When I first took skiing lessons, I found it exciting.For ski racing, there's no question I'm better shape than most guys(d~伙子).I think it's fun.I mean, it is a challenge(~战).It's where I picked up the idea of needing a challenge always in my life.In order to improve my skiing skills, I have read many books and magazines about it.No doubt it's my dream to wing old medal sin the Olympic Games.
