My Bad Day
We often meet with bad days. I had a bad day on September 1st. It was the first day of a new term. When I woke up in the morning, it was nearly 7o’clock. I had a quick wash and rushed to school without eating breakfast.
When I reached school, I realized I had left my backpack at home. Then I went back home to get it. On the way home I ran as quickly as I could. Suddenly, I was knocked down by a bike and my knees were badly hurt. I was sent to hospital. I didn’t have any classes that day.

VI.阅读理解。
I was sitting on the bus one day and I didn’t feel happy by their bad service. A young soldier got on and he was in uniform with his bag across his shoulder and a ticket in his hand. But, guess what? The driver wouldn’t get his ticket!
It was a kind of tickets for soldiers to travel. With that special ticket, the soldier needn’t buy tickets for any bus. But the driver was not going to let the soldier travel.
I was sitting at the back of the bus but I could hear what was going on. I walked to the front of the bus where the driver was giving the soldier a hard time. I turned to face the rest of the passengers and said, “This is a sad thing! This young man is going to give everything for us. I think we can pay his $ 37 and get this show on the road. Who’s with me?”
I took ten dollars from my wallet and held it up. At once the other passengers started passing money to me.
I turned to the driver, who was looking a bit embarrassed by now, and counted out $ 37 for him. I handed the rest, probably almost $ 100, to the surprised soldier and gave him a hug.
After that I went back to my seat, I could hardly believe my ears when the other passengers started applauding(鼓掌).
