     John, 83, got on a Chicago bus and saw a sign saying that senior citizens could ride for half fare. When
he dropped his three quarters in the box, the driver asked him for ID card. John took out an ID card. "You
need a special CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) card, "said the driver. John didn't have it because he lives in
New York and was in Chicago visiting his two sons. 
     "Put in another three quarters," said the driver, "or get off the bus."
     John said, "Give me back my quarters and I'll get off."
     "I can't-it's in the box. If you don't get off, I'll call the police, "said he, which he did. Two police cars
pulled up.
     "That's what you called me for?" one policeman asked after hearing the story. Another policeman then
said to John, "I'11 give you three quarters."
     John shook his head, "Why should you give me the quarters? He has to give me my quarters."
     "Come on." the policemen said. "We'll get you your card." So they took him downtown to the CTA office.
But the people there wouldn't give him a CTA card-he needed a picture.
     "What about his quarters?"one policeman asked. The officials discussed, and the decision was made to
give John's quarters back.
     John got on another bus later, dropped the three quarters in the box, and said, "I'm a senior citizen..."The
driver looked at John and nodded. He didn't know how lucky he was to be a sensible (通情达理的) man.

My name is Ben Mansury. I’m fifteen years old and study in a middle school. In school, I never join in any group discussion or stage (舞台) program. So, I never knew what stage nervousness was.
Our community (社区) has a weekly “Students Ideas” program. About two years ago, I received a(n)   1   from the chairman of our community. He invited me to the “Students Ideas” talk the next morning to speak to the group.
The time between his call to the next morning was like several weeks for me. The whole night, I could not sleep. Many   2   were coming. One of them was to call the chairman, with regret, and tell him that I could not come. But finally, I thought, if I missed this   3  , the community would never invite me again to any of their programs. So, I decided to go.
I reached the hall in time. When my turn came and I started, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to   4   the words on the paper properly. I had no idea where I was standing and what I was talking. That was the day when I   5   my biggest weakness: public speaking.
After I finished, I met with the chairman and   6   what happened to me. He said that this happens to everyone. It is very   7  . He suggested that I should come again the next week.
I   8   a talk carefully. This time when I gave the talk, I was somewhat comfortable but not confident (自信的). Afterwards, I met with the chairman again and told him about the improvement I   9   I had made. He was kind enough to invite me again.
For around one month, I practiced a lot for my talk. This time I was feeling comfortable and both the chairman and my neighbors thought I did a good job.    
I learned that everything is   10   if we take the first step, as the saying goes: A journey of thousand miles begins with first step.
