A bystander (旁观者) in Montana took a touching picture of a fireman reading a book to a little girl in the street. He was trying to take her mind off the sadness of their family’s car accident.
It was nighttime about a month ago when the firemen hurried to the two-car accident. While the other members of the team and the girl’s parents were busy dealing with the accident and police reports, fireman Ryan Benton took a book out of his bag and started reading to her in the street. “This allowed her to keep quiet and allowed the parents to pay attention to dealing with their broken car with the police and the driver of the other car,” said a fire department spokesperson. “Sweetest thing ever!” wrote Allie Marie Schmalz, the bystander, on Facebook (脸书) when she posted her photo of the 26-year-old fireman.
We’ve learned after news reports that the firemen always carry book bags to give to children in nervous situations. In the bags, there is a toy animal, a book about firemen, and other books that can make a young child’s mind peaceful.
Julie Angle later wrote on the Billings Fireman Facebook page, and she said how thankful she was for the moving practice. “A few years ago we experienced the firemen giving my kids toy animals after a fire.

April 15 was a sad day for France. A fire broke out in Notre Dame, a centuries-old cathedral (大教堂) in the heart of Paris. The cathedral’s spire(尖顶) and a large part of its roof were destroyed.
Built between 1163 and 1250, Notre Dame is one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture (哥特式建筑). The cathedral is home to many valuable works of art. Among the most famous artworks inside are its three stained-glass rose windows, and the cathedral’s bronze statues which had been taken away before the fire for repairs.
Notre Dame is one of the world’s most famous tourist attractions. About 13 million people visit it every year. It lies in the center of Paris along the Seine River. French writer Victor Hugo used it as the setting of his famous story The hunchback of Notre-Dame.
French President Emmanuel Macron described the fire as a terrible tragedy, but added, the worst had been avoided. Macron has promised that the French people will rebuild the cathedral together. He announced that he will launch an international fund raising campaign (募捐活动). Notre Dame is our history, it’s our literature, and it’s our imagery. We will rebuild it. This is probably part of the French destiny, and we will finish it in the next five years. Starting tomorrow, a national donation plan will be started at home and abroad.” Macron said. “Paris without Notre Dame Madness.”

My name is David Black. I live in a small house. When I eat and drink, I am always worried they are dirty. So when I am hungry or thirsty, I don’t want to eat food or drink water.

I often have a headache, but I don’t want to see a doctor. What should I do
Dr. Smith’s advice
Traditional Chinese doctors believe we need a balance between yin and yang to be healthy. I think you have too much yin because you are always worried about something and you don’t like going out or talking with others.

I’m on the road a lot for my job and have seen in lots of accidents.
One day, I was heading to a far-away town. To get there, I had to take a busy road that had a lot of blind curves (弯道) and hills. I made my way around a curve and down a hill when I saw a car in my lane (车道) suddenly move into the other lane. It caused the cars in the other lane to slam (猛踩) their brakes (刹车). In return, the cars behind them slammed their brakes as well. Still, some of the cars hit each other and caused accidents on the road.
After a while, things were almost cleaned up. All the cars drove away. Still, I saw a big rock lying in the road. I thought I’d move it to stop similar accidents from happening again.
And just as I got out of my car to pick it up, I saw a guy on the other side of the road running along the highway (公路) to pick up the same rock. I watched him put it in the bed of his truck (卡车). The rock wasn’t in his lane and he still picked it up.
I guess it was just nice to see someone else go out of their way to do something for other people, knowing he wouldn’t get a thank you.
So thanks man, whoever you are.
