It was Easter 1998, and my family was on a once in a lifetime(千载难逢) trip to the Solomon Islands for my sister's wedding.
I was traveling with my husband, my four year old son and my daughter, who was nearly two. We'd been 1 it was very hot in the Solomon Islands, so we'd taken lots of light cotton clothes and were wearing the same as it was summer. The only problem was that we had to catch an overnight(夜间的) bus that 2 at midnight for the airport, so we could make our early flight to Honiara. It was cold on the bus! My husband and I were snuggling(使依偎) our children as best we could, trying to keep them 3 . The bus stopped many times as passengers got on and off, but we didn't take much 4 . The little ones were restless(焦躁不安的), unable to sleep for the biting cold. Then at one stop, an old lady came forward from the back of the bus and stopped by our seat. I sat forward to see what she wanted and she 5 out a small knee rug(毯子). My little girl couldn't wait to 6 for it and pulled it tight around her. The lady said she'd made the rug herself and seeing that we were cold, and then she wanted us to use it. After she went back to her seat, our now warm children nodded off(打盹), and they slept all the way to the airport. Just a stop or two before we arrived, the rug lady made her way to the door to get off. I tried to wake up the children to 7 her rug, but she said, “No, keep it. I can 8 make another one!”
Over the years, that little rug became a 9 to me and to my children of the kindness of strangers. That rug was handmade with the colors carefully chosen. Yet its maker parted with it to keep my family warm for a night. I am forever 10 not just for the warmth that night, but for the lifelong reminder(提示) of the goodness of people.

After all, just because you spend a lot of money on a shirt doesn't mean that it looks good. I'm talking about the T shirts that say something about you, like where you've been, what you like, or what you think. Those are often the T shirts that we feel the most comfortable in and that we wear again and again. I'm going to tell you about two T shirts that I really, really love and explain why.
I've been to London twice. The first time I went I saw this shirt in a souvenir(纪念品) shop and my dad bought it for me. I really loved the design and the colors. And it reminds me of something funny that happened. One day, we were traveling around the center of London. We almost got lost, but we found our way—thanks to the picture on this T shirt!Sometimes I've bought clothes that I've never worn or that I've only worn once or twice. But I've worn (and washed INCLUDEPICTURE "21QGYYZT194.TIF" INCLUDEPICTURE "21QGYYZT194.TIF" \* MERGEFORMAT ) this T shirt hundreds of times. I love music and I love Adele. I haven't seen many of my favorite artists live, but I bought this when I went to Adele's concert two years ago. It was a great concert and this is a great souvenir. And white T shirts go with anything, not just jeans!So, those are just two of my favorite T shirts that tell a story. What about yours?

Mick, an owner of a toy store, lives with his teenage daughter Carolina in Kentucky. He is known as the Bike Man. Over the past five years, Mick has built hundreds of bikes for needy kids.
One day, a 13 year old boy with a broken bike walked by Mick's house. “I was working in my garage, and he asked if I could fix it,” says Mick, now 53.
The boy's bike had a broken wheel. Mick sent a post on Facebook, asking his friends if they had the needed part. One friend saw the post and gave away two used bikes. Mick took parts from each to build a new set of wheels for the boy.
Soon after, Mick repaired a bike for the boy's brother and fixed one for his sister. Word spread, and during the year, he had fixed up lots of bikes for local kids whose parents were not able to afford new ones.
“People are throwing away bikes day and night,” says Mick.
Mick puts the bikes and bike parts in his garage. “I take off the good tires or the handlebars or the seats and use them.” He says.
Up to now, the Bike Man has repaired hundreds of bikes and given away nearly 700 newly repaired bikes. They're free, but the kids must agree to two things: They have to learn how to put waste things to good use. And they have to try their best to study in school.

Ⅴ.Spring in my hometown
When spring comes, everything comes back to life and the climate becomes warm. People feel more comfortable than in winter. The mountains which are very high in my hometown become more and more green. Most flowers blossom as the weather becomes warm. All of these scenes draw a beautiful picture.
People begin to climb mountains and have a picnic near rivers. They also fly kites in the parks. They try their best to be close to nature and enjoy the beauty of it. Farmers start to sow and wait for a good harvest.
As far as I am concerned, spring in my hometown is full of life and power. It gives us energy and hope. I love the spring in my hometown.
