Bus Driver and Passengers Save an Old man

At 9:00a.m.yesterday,bus No.26was going along Zhonghua Road when the driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road. A woman next to him was shouting for help. The bus driver,24-year -old Wang Ping,

stopped the bus without thinking twice. He got off and asked the woman what happened. She said that the man had a heart problem

and should

go to the

hospital. Mr.

Wang knew

he had to

act quickly. He told the passengers that he must take the man to the hospital. He expected most or all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr. Wang to move the man onto the bus.

Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the doctors saved the man in time. “It’s sad that many people don’t want to help others because they don’t want any trouble, ”says one passenger. “But the driver didn’t think about himself. He only thought about saving a life.”He Lost His Arm

But Is Still Climbng

Aron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain climbing. As a mountain

climber, Aron in used to taking risks. This is one

of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when

Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On Apil 26,2003 he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah.

On that day,

Aron ’s arm

was caught

under a

360-kilo rock

that fell on

him when he

was climbing

by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lost too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.

Finding the Order of Events

Writers describe events in a

certain order. Finding the order

of the events will help you

understand what you are reading

After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of one’s life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.

Do we have the same spirit as Aron ? Let’s think about it before we find ourselves

“between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death.

Students Who V olunteer

Mario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High School give up several hours each week to help others.

Mario loves animals and wants to be an animal doctor He volunteers at an animal hospital every Saturday morning. Mario believes it can help him to get his future dream job. “It’s hard work, ”he says,“but I want to learn more about how to care for animals. I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I see the animals get better and the look of joy on their owners’faces.”

Mary is a book lover. She could read by herself at the age of four. Last year, she

decided to try out for a volunteer after-school reading program. She still works there once a week to help kids learn to read. “The kids are sitting in the

library, but you

can see in their

eyes that

they’re going

on a different

journey with each new book. V olunteering here is a dream come true for me. I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time.
