For the most part, Hank, a two-year-old tan-and-white rescue cat, is a homebody - and for good reason. The one time he got out his yard in Washington. DC, he managed to get stuck in a 12-metre-tall tree for two days with no food or water.
Hank’s big adventure started last November 6. Delores Bushong his 75-year-old owner, had just returned from a farmers market when she realized Hank hadn’t come in for his midday snack. She called his name in alleys and streets around her home. As it got dark, she began to worry. Then she heard mewling, looked up and spotted Hank, seated on a branch near the top of a neighbor’s tree.
Bushong believes Hank got under a fence and then became scared by some dogs. The more scared he got, the higher he climbed.
“Cats have an amazing ability to climb up trees, but actually they aren’t that good at climbing down,” said Dan Eramo, director of field services for the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA).
Bushong, now worried about getting Hank down, asked the HRA to take the lead, but it was no easy task. HRA called the fire department, but it refused to help, citing safety concerns. Then Bushong called a construction company to ask about renting scaffolding(脚手架) but was told she would have to book the equipment 48 days in advance.
Next she reached out of a local tree company, Casey Trees, where volunteers helping with planting and trimming. But the crew that came out analyzed Hank’s predicament(困境)and said it wasn’t safe for a person to go up into the tree because the branches weren’t strong.
Bushong was quite upset. “To realize something you love is in trouble and you personally can’t do anything about it is very frustrating,” she said.
Paragraph1. Seeing this, the neighbors came to Hank’s rescue.

Paragraph2. Once on the ground, Bushong picked Hank into her arms holding him close.

When Megan went into her local shop one day, a used jacket with gold thread was appealing to her. It was beautiful and cheap enough. She took the jacket home without a second thought. It was in such good condition that she couldn’t imagine why anyone would even sell it. She must have needed the money badly.
She grabbed her phone for a selfie(自拍)and stuck her other hand in her pocket. That’s when she felt something and took it out. It was a piece of paper with an address not far from her house. But something else caught her attention. It was a message that read: “Help my grandkids!” What could this mean she wondered. She grabbed the note and reread the address. “OK, let’s do this,” she rushed out of the door with the jacket and got to the address.
A little kid answered the door. “Hello ” she said in a small voice.
“Hmmm… hi,” Megan started. “Is your grandmother or grandfather here ”
“We only have a grandma,” the little girl replied. Two other kids were standing there with wide eyes and confused expressions.
The house was untidy. There were tons of toys lying around.
The little girl guided Megan to a bedroom. An older woman was lying on the bed looking too pale. Megan said, “Madam, excuse me for coming in like this. But I bought this jacket and found a note inside.”
“Oh, thank you for responding to the note,” the older woman said. “I made a huge effort yesterday to reach the shop, sell it, and buy something for my grandkids to eat. But I was afraid that my disease would progress, so I wrote the note, hoping that someone would see it and help.”
Megan was puzzled. “I don’t understand. Couldn’t you call any family to help out ”
“We don’t have anyone else, and I’ve had to spend my pension(退休金)on medication that wasn’t working very well,” the older woman explained. “I’m sorry. I’m Erica, and I have chemical pneumonia(肺炎).”
“I’m Megan. Do you need me to call 911 or something ” Megan moved closer to the older woman. Erica shook her head, and tears gathered in her eyes.

Marathons are not for the faint of heart, nor the faint of lungs. You might think you’re up for it, but then your lungs will remind you halfway through that this might be too much. I have a ton of respect for people who do compete in them. Make sure you stretch a lot before you do one! This story though, is about someone who could have finished the race sooner but chose not to.
There are people who are well in-shape to run a marathon, and marines (海军陆战队士兵) are definitely some of those people. Military training is some of the toughest out there. They’ll make you do push up (俯卧撑) after push up, course after course, and they’ll make you do it regularly. A marine is thus well-prepared to run something like a marathon race.
Myles Kerr was a 19-year-old marine who joined in a 5-kilometre marathon. As the name implies, a 5-kilometre marathon is 5 kilometers of running you have to do. And 5 kilometers is a lot to run on foot. It is definitely not a distance you should attempt without a lot of preparation and training. Myles, thanks to his training, was even able to wear boots while he ran.
While Myles and the other marines with him could handle this just fine, one other runner couldn’t. It was 9-year-old Brandon Fuchs. The boy joined in the race as part of a group. However, he got separated from the group as the race progressed. He was now quite far behind and struggling to finish the race.
Brandon is just 9 years old, but he is fond of sports. He always sits in front of TV watching matches of all kinds of sports, especially matches concerning running. He ever participated in some kinds of running races, which made him even more interested in sports. When he knew a short-distanced marathon was to be held in his city, he signed up for it without hesitation.

Kate double—checked the words on her spelling test. Ms. Cormack said that whoever won in her class’s Spelling Challenge today, they’d win a brand new dictionary. Plus, the teacher had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N—i—c—e—l—y. Q—u—i—c—k—ly. H—o—n—e—s—t—y. Wait! She’d spelled “honesty”, not “honestly”. She hurriedly erased the t—y and wrote l—y before handing in her paper.
Ms. Cormack graded the test papers at break. Meanwhile, Kate sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then, Ms. Cormack walked to the front of the class and cleared her throat. As if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. Cormack did a perfect handstand.
“Congratulations, Kate! You did it!” she announced while standing on her hands.
The whole class broke into applause! Ms. Cormack righted herself and presented Kate with her prize. Kate smiled as she read the label on the box:
To Kate Carter, for her perfect score in the Spelling Challenge.
“Is everything OK ” Mom asked as Kate rushed through the front door after school. Kate didn’t answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother. Mom hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.
Kate took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Suddenly, her hands stopped in mid—air. She just couldn’t believe her eyes. “Honesly”
YES! H—O—N—E—S—L—Y!
Mom sensed something unusual and asked why. Kate put the test paper into her backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mom brought her some tea. Yes, a “t” was exactly what she needed.
After drinking a little, Kate kept walking in her bedroom, lost in thought. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize and that Ms. Cormack did the handstand for nothing

David is a 22-year-old man. Not having received a college education, he found it difficult to find a job. He worked at a small company and wasn’t paid well. He thought life was unfair and often complained.
One day, his boss asked him to go to his office. To his sadness, he was told he didn’t need to come to work again.
That day, David didn’t go straight back to the small apartment he shared with another man. He wanted to find a quiet place and sit there quietly for some time. Having lost his job, he had no idea what to do.
He walked and walked. Finally he stopped in front of a beautiful house. The house had a very big garden behind it. He saw an old man sitting in the garden.
“The old man must be a millionaire” thought David, “How I wish I were him! If I were him, I wouldn’t have to work and I’d have a large amount of money. I would be the happiest man in the whole world. ”
Thinking how poor he was, David was even sadder. He hurriedly walked forward and found a place and sat there quietly.
Finally, he became hungry and decided to go back home. On his way back home, he passed the old man’s house again. This time the man was sitting in his front yard. When David passed by him, he noticed that the old man was looking at him. The old man looked as if he admired him very much. David was confused. Why would such a rich man admire him He was so poor while he was so rich.
Finally, David decided to have a talk with the old man. So he stopped and walked to the old man.
“Hello,” he said.
”Hello,” said the old man.
Then they started talking. David told the old man he really admired him.
“You have such a beautiful house. You’re so rich! How I wish I were you!” said David.

Forgiveness is the most important tool humans have been blessed with. Because, with it, we can let go of unnecessary burdens and truly own our lives. And by doing that, you maybe make a friend. That was a lesson an eleven-year-old boy taught me when I was in my eighth grade.
When I was in the fifth grade, there was a boy in my class named Kyle. He was big and strong. Maybe he was kind inside. Maybe he was just good at pretending in face of adults. I said so because I happened to see him helping an old man who was so grateful that he couldn’t stop saying thanks to him.
However, to the children of his age, he was the meanest person I had ever met. For the first couple days of school, Kyle and I sat across from each other. Once, he secretly reached his legs across the table and slammed (猛踩) his shoe clown on mine, causing a rapid rush of pain. I stared at him angrily, but he just made faces to me. I chose to ignore him. I didn’t want to get involved into trouble because I was anxious to leave to see my brother. He suffered from a strange disease. Despite the fact that he was slow and had special needs, I loved him and couldn’t stand others laughing at him.
Kyle’s bullying (欺凌) went on. Eventually, I told a teacher, and my seat was moved. But Kyle’s abuse didn’t stop. He continued to call me names, such as “stupid”. His words were quite embarrassing to an eleven-year-old girl. He as continued to physically hurt me. In “morning meeting” he once stepped on my foot so hard that I burst into tears. This continued for most of the school year.
Kyle also bullied my friend Megan. At one point she ran out of the classroom because he copied her nonstop. Both of us were absolutely painful. And despite meetings with teachers and guidance counselors, nothing changed. We had a large class of noisy boys, and the teacher had a hard time keeping order.

On a cold windy day, a poor boy tried to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door. Wandering on the street, he was not a successful seller. What’s worse, he found that he only had one dime left. His empty stomach reminded him constantly that for days he hadn’t eaten anything. He had no choice but to beg for a meal at the next house. Hesitantly he knocked at a door, thinking about what to say when it was opened. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. “What can I do for you ” asked the young woman. The boy paused for a while, “Would you please give me some...a drink of water ” the boy dared not to look directly into her eyes. She looked at the bony boy and thought he might need something to give him energy so she brought him a glass of milk. His head rising and small hands taking the cup, he drank it up slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you ” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied with a warm smile on her face. “My mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.”Deeply moved, he said sincerely, “Then I shall thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the whole human race. As a matter of fact, he was about to give up and quit before that point.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. However, the local doctors were unable to give an effective medical treatment. Finally they sent her to a hospital in the big city, where specialists can be called in to cure her rare disease. Among those famous specialists, Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.

If there was one thing that Ellen Rafferty hated more than driving, it was driving in the rain. This evening, on her way back from work, Ellen saw a little child standing by the side of the road in the pouring rain. So she hit the brakes sharply, and pulled over by the side of the road next to the child.
It was a little boy, maybe four or five, and he was shaking and hugging himself. As soon as he saw Ellen, his face. brightened. “Hello!” he said,“Are you my mommy ”
“No,”Ellen said in the icy rain. “I’m not! What are you doing here Where are your parents ”
“Oh,” the boy said disappointingly. “I don’t know where my mom is. She left me on the road when it was raining, and I think she must be looking for me.”
“What’s your name Where do you live ”
“I’m David. I live at the Doris Farmer Institute for Children.”
“The orphanage(孤儿院) ” asked Ellen. “But that is far!” Just then, there was a terrible flash of lightning and even more rain poured down as thunder rolled across the sky. “Come on,”Ellen said. “I’m taking you home. I’ll call the orphanage to come and fetch you.” Ellen took the boy home.
She didn’t quite know what to do with him, so she turned on a heater and wrapped him with a blanket. Then she called the orphanage and told them that she found one of their children, who named David, on the road. But the woman on the phone said it was too late and they couldn’t come to fetch him.

I especially like a poem I learned in kindergarten. Although it has been more than 40 years, I still often recite it.
My Teacher Mr. Moore
There’s a teacher Mr. Moore.
Who is lovely and thirty-four.
Always encouraging us to try.
He leads us to a world of “why”.
We all admire him more and more.
The author of this poem is unknown, but it reminds me of the countless teachers who have taught me. Whenever I read this poem, I couldn’t help thinking of my math teacher, Mrs. Davies. I firmly believe that she was such a teacher described in the poem.
In high school, Mrs. Davies was my math. teacher, who took her job seriously and expected her students to put forth the same degree of commitment. Though she was 30, she looked very young for her age. And she was one of the most popular teachers in our school.
Compared with other teachers, Mrs. Davies paid more attention to her way of teaching. She tried various ways to make her classes lively and interesting.
Strict but fair, she held our attention with her time-proven approach. One of her classes was for students who were more advanced academically. I chose to take it and soon realized that the course was a bit over my head. I struggled with the complex problems that others seemed to learn without much effort.
One Friday we were tested on our ability to use a theorem(定理) that no one in the class thoroughly understood. The teacher should grade our papers based on our ability to progress through the problem. I was absolutely lost. Finally, I didn’t use the required theorem. Instead, I decided to use more familiar theorems to arrive at the answer. I knew I had failed because I hadn’t done the required assignment. I became resigned to my fate.

“Wake up, Mom!” I felt a little hand on my face and reluctantly opened my eyes. There was my son, ready to start the day. I also heard my babies awake in the next room. Ready or not, the day had begun!
I loved being home with my little ones, but I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. My husband and I had just bought a house, and some unexpected expenses made our budget tighter than it had ever been. I was weary of spending more pennies. We weren’t foolish with our money. We worked hard. We were doing all the right things, but we had had one financial disappointment after another.
I was going to pick up my kids’ photo portraits from the studio at the local mall. Despite our small budget, it was important to me to have pictures of my children as they were growing up. The previous week, I had found a coupon (优惠券) and used some change from the car to buy a $7.99 portrait package, and today was the day I was to pick up the portraits. Since we were going to the mall, I decided to make it an outing and packed some sandwiches for us to eat at the food court. What’s more, there are many ride-on toy cars in the mall’s food court for fun and for free.
After breakfast, we went off. After we parked, we walked into the portrait studio at the mall, and I approached the counter. The young woman smiled.
“May I help you ”
“Yes, I’m here to pick up our photos.”
The woman asked my name and opened her drawer. “Ah, yes, here they are. Aren’t they just so adorable ” She took out the photos, and the smiling faces of my kids warmed my heart.
“Yes, they are great. Thank you,” I said.
She put the photos into an envelope. Then she spread out additional photos of my kids that I hadn’t ordered. I knew what that meant. The upsell pitch (推销) was coming.
“Would you like to purchase these extra portraits They are only fifteen dollars apiece!” she smiled sweetly.

The climax (高潮) of Kyle’s bad behavior occurred in mid-May. One day, Kyle cornered me into a wall and laughed at my brother, calling him a “stupid”. I couldn’t control myself any longer. With my teacher standing behind me, I told Kyle exactly how much he had hurt me—both physically and emotionally. I had tears streaming down my face and probably looked ridiculous, but I didn’t care. I had been waiting for the opportunity to tell Kyle how much I hated him for months. Seeing this, Kyle was shocked and his face turned red.
He apologized to me, promising he would never laugh at my brother. Later, Kyle kept his promise and never laughed at my brother. His teasing didn’t completely end but he changed a lot.

9.Our test papers were handed back the following Monday. Everyone received a “C” except me. To my surprise, I received an “A”. I assumed that there must be a mistake. I watched nervously as the teacher approached my desk, smiled, and asked for my test paper back. She then went back to copy my work onto the blackboard, showing the class how I had arrived at the correct answer. ”Mathematics is meant to be a creative tool, pushing our minds to a rewarding answer," she said with confidence.
Though I didn’t use the required theorem, Mrs. Davies seemed genuinely proud of me. The class saw her fold my test paper and put it into her textbook. She announced that it would be shared with future classes. My teacher should have been justified in giving me a failing grade. Instead, she used the opportunity to deeply influence a student who often struggled. And after forty years, I still cherish the memory. It helped change my self-image. I opened up to a broad boundary of possibilities which had made my life an adventure. She understood that teaching went beyond strict demands and could be used to inspire. Thank you, Mrs. Davies.

10.One possible version:
My heart turned cold. “I don’t have fifteen dollars.” I took the photo envelope and walked away, with my cheeks red after my reply. Next, we stopped at the ride-on toy cars in the mall’s food court. There weren’t any other kids there. My kids climbed on them enjoying themselves very much. After a while, we were tired so we unwrapped our lunches that I had brought from home. Although the mall’s food court was near, I didn’t have extra money. It was early for lunch, but we were hungry.
As we were hawing our lunch, the young woman came up and pressed something into my hand. She said, “Here. Take your family out for ice cream after lunch.” I was surprised. I managed to say “thank you” as she turned and walked away. Then I looked down at what she had given me. The bills totaled fifteen dollars. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I quietly finished my sandwich. The doubts in my heart melted away and my faith was renewed. Kindness can change someone’s dark moment into a bright one.
