Will you put others’ needs before your own? will you get if you do? Here is an experience of mine.

It was a wet day and I had a time. I was busy and everyone I talked to was in a bad mood. What’s more, I went to work without breakfast and I left my at home. So I couldn’t get lunch and was terribly hungry.

When I work,I called to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy . Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my meal of the day at 5:00 p.m.

As I was halfway home, my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in and needed a lift(搭便车)home. My mind said,“I will help him I get the meal.” But my mouth said,“All right, I’ll give him a .”

He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the stopped him from making that journey because he didn’t have an umbrella.

There a lot of traffic. A drive to him normally took 10 minutes but that day it took 30 minutes.

Now you would guess the person that I was helping is a friend of mine. But,in fact,he is a friend of a friend.

I wonder if I will see this person again but I feel glad that I was there when he me.

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue? Then you may be quiet, shy and prefer following to leading.

Colours influence our moods. There is a relationship between colours and moods. A yellow room makes people feel cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings us warmth and joy on the saddest winter day. Black is depressing (令人压抑的). There was a black bridge over River Thames. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than that on any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green.
