He was driving home one evening when he saw an old lady standing by the road. He could tell she needed help. So he stopped his car in front of her car and got out.
He smiled at her, but she was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He looked poor and hungry.
He said: “I’m here to help you ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car? By the way ,my name is Joe.”
She had a flat tire(轮胎瘪了). Joe crawled under the car and soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. She said that she couldn’t thank him enough for his help. Joe just smiled as he closed her trunk(后备箱).
She asked him how much she owed(欠)him. But Joe wasn’t thinking about the money. This was helping someone in need. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she should lend a hand.
He waited until she had driven off and felt good as he headed for home.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café. She went in to get a bite to eat. The waitress brought a clean towel for her to wipe her wet hair. The waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕的).It was tiring for her to move about. But she did it all with a sweet smile on her face. The lady was moved by the wonderful service the waitress was giving. After the lady had finished her meal, and the waitress had gone to get her change(零钱)from a ¥100 bill, the lady slipped(溜)out the door. At her table, the waitress found something written on a napkin.
There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady had written. It said: “You don’t owe me a thing. I know life is hard for you right now. Someone once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, don’t let the chain(链)of love end with you.”

Many years ago, there was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge(判断) things too quickly. So he told them to go and look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn.
When the sons came back, the old man asked them to say what they had seen.
The first son complained the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves.

For a long time being happy was considered natural,and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that we can work at getting along well with other people. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.
One way is being unselfish,not wanting everything your own way or asking for the best share of everything, including the attention of your friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people.
You don’t have to be spineless(无骨气的)in order to be popular. In fact,you will be liked and respected(尊重)if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights(权利). But do it politely and pleasantly. One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group,  to older people,to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you.
You cannot expect to be perfect,  so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged(泄气的) when they know their unpleasant qualities—selfishness,laziness,etc. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.
When sometMng is wrong,it is best to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why,and look at yourself,too. Make sure that you are not doing something to make others dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.
小题1:Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined part?
A.Not sharing anything with others.
B.Not thinking too much of yourself.
C.Not attracting the attention of your friends.
D.Not making friends with people who have bad points.
小题2:How can we get along well with others according to the passage?
A.We should find out unpleasant qualities in others and in ourselves.
B.We should show others our unpleasant qualities.
C.We should stand up for our rights in any way we like.
D.We should fight against our unpleasant qualities.
小题3:What can we know from the passage?
A.Even if we don’t have good relationships with others,we needn’t work at it.
B.Even if someone is not important to us,we still need to treat him politely.
C.Even if we are willing to learn from ouy mistakes,we are still to be blamed.
D.Even if the situation cannot be changed, we still need to worry much about it.
