Bus Driver and Passengers Save an Old Man

At 9：00 a．m. yesterday, bus No.26 was 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 of the passengers to get off and wait for the next bus. But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr.Wang to move the old man onto the bus.

Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the old man was saved by the doctors 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.”

There is a zoo in our city. My parents often take me there on holidays. In the zoo I can see tigers, elephants, monkeys, pandas, bears, snakes and many other animals. Some animals are friendly, but some are not. Tigers, bears and some snakes are dangerous. That is why they have to stay in cages. But I don't think it is good for animals to stay in cages. They should be free. The animals in cages cannot be happy.

I think the most interesting animal in the zoo is the dolphin. I like watching dolphins swim and jump. They swim fast and they jump very high. They can play with a ball. They can stand up and “walk” on water! They are very friendly to people. If you fall into the water and can't swim, they may come up to help you.
