That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the library. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my attention. It was a man dressed in rags(破旧衣服).He was homeless. That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before.

But in some way he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing he had.

“Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he's homeless？” I asked.

“He bought it,” she answered. I was still confused.

“But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things. We need happiness, too.”

That man must care enough about music, so he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there's nothing to expect. A passion gives a person the feeling of happiness they need to keep going.

Since then I've never spent a day without thinking of what's truly important. A home, a meal，clothes—these things are not the only things that make up our lives. What's often forgotten is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.

Biking is great for the environment because it allows people to travel without burning fuel (燃料). People who use bike sharing programs might use them instead of their own car or taxi to travel around their area. This helps to cut down air pollution and creates a culture of eco-friendly (环保的) transportation. Biking is known to be excellent exercise for both the body and the mind. Also, it's convenient to use. Public bicycle systems offer a convenient, easy-to-use system for people.

We all know that bicycle helmets protect us from injuries (受伤) and should be worn by all cyclists (骑行者). It seems impossible for everyone who doesn't own a bicycle to wear a helmet. And during heavy traffic hours, bicycles might not be available for use. Furthermore, Bike sharing programs make bicycling easy for everyone, whether or not they are familiar (熟悉的) with cycling. Some people will have experience riding in the city, while for others it may be a first-time experience. These people put themselves and others on the road at risk.

She found herself homeless and had to spend the night on friends' sofas.

The school bus driver learned about Dawn's situation and invited Dawn to move in with her family. Soon, Dawn had a job at Burns High School. She worked from 6 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. before the first school bell rang. She swept floors and picked up trash again in the afternoons, before diving into her studies in the evenings.
