Mr. King works in a shop and drives a car for the manager.  He drives carefully and can keep calm in time of danger.  And he escaped from several accidents.  The manager pays him more and the traffic policemen often speak highly of him.   Mr. Baker， one of his friends， works in a factory outside the city.  It's far from his house and he has to go to work by bus.  As the traffic is crowded in the morning， sometimes he's late for the work.  His manager warns the young man that he will be  sent away unless he gets to his office on time.  He hopes to  buy a car， but he hasn't enough money.  He decides to buy an  oldd one.    He went to the flea （跳蚤） market and at last he chose a beautiful but cheap car.  He said he wanted to have a trial （试验） drive， the seller agreed.  He called Mr.  King  and asked him to help him.  Mr.  King examined the car at first and then drove it away.  It was five in the morning and there were few cars in the street.  At first he drove slowly and it worked well.  Then he drove fast.  And when he reached a crossing， the lights turned red.  He tried to stop it， but he failed and nearly hit an old woman who was crossing the street.  A policeman told him to stop， but the car went on until it hit a big tree by the road.  "Didn't you hear me？" the policeman asked angrily.   "Yes， I did， sir，" said Mr.  King， "Since it doesn't listen to me，can it obey you？"

I was feeling a little blue because my mother had lost her job.
One day, while I was   on the street, I heard the piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly to      where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at a piano.
She was singing songs about love,      yourself and keeping on trying. The way she was singing made me a little comfortable. I stood there     ，watching her playing on such a crowded New York square. I thought that she must be     enough to perform in front of so many people.
She noticed me. I walked over and told her how good her       sounded. “Thank you.” she said.
“I have been going through a hard time recently,     you’ve made me hopeful again.” I said to her.
“I’m glad that I could help,” she replied, “Why are you so   ?”
“Well, my mom has lost her job, and I’m not sure what to do …”
“Did you noticed the    you were walking? Your head was down.” she said. “Don’t be upset, because      comes in different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You should       more… lift your head up.”
I looked      her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. “   are you playing the piano here?” I asked her with a smile.
She     that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer       up by playing music.
I smiled a little wilder, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.

The doctor's Handwriting
Mrs South is excited these days. A sudden terrible disease hardly killed her son two months ago. She and her husband took the poor boy to several hospitals, but few doctors could save him. Watching their helpless son struggling for a bare subsistence(在死亡线上挣扎), the woman’s and her husband’s hearts were broken. At that moment, one of their friends introduced Mr Young who worked in a small hospital to them. Thanks to the doctor, their son was saved and he was all right and came out of hospital last week.
The woman decided to ask the doctor to dinner. The invitation was sent to him yesterday. In reply she received a letter which was impossible to read.
“I must know whether he has accepted or not.” said Mrs South.
“If I were you,” suggested her husband. “I should take it to a chemist(药剂师). He can always read doctors’ letters, however badly written.”
The chemist looked at the notepaper for a while, without waiting for Mrs South’s explanation, and handed her a bottle.
“Here you are, madam,” he said. “That will be two dollars.”
