My name is Sam . I joined a club called  “ passing help ” last month . Now let me tell you why I joined it.

 One evening this May, on my way home my old car was broken . It was 25 miles from my home . I wanted to get a ride, but there was no car . It was also hard to take a taxi . I decided to take a bus home .I went to a bus stop nearby .

 After a while , a bus came , but it did not go to my town .The bus driver was a   young woman . She was kind and she told me which bus I should take . I waited there for about thirty minutes , but no bus came . At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car .She was just the bus driver.

“When I reached the bus station , I got to know that the bus to your town couldn't  come ,so I returned here.I just can't leave you here ,” she said , “ Get in my car and I will take you back to your home .”

 “ It is a long way .”I said.

 “ Come on ,sir, ”she said ,“ Let’s go.”

 On the way she told me a story . A few days ago, there wasn't gas(汽油）in her car . An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.

 When we got to my home , I wanted to give her some money to thank her , but she didn't accept it . “ I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along. ” She said.

    My name is Katie and I'm 13 years old. I wanted to do sports with a dog at the age of nine, but I couldn't find a right dog. When I was 11, my parents gave me a dog. His name is Dusty. I found Dusty perfect for me: he is fast, strong and likes to make me happy. I knew that this was the pet dog I wanted.

    I began his early training (训练)in a park when he was about 6 months old. I used anything I could find to make him jump. I used lots of food to train Dusty to practice jumping happily again and again. These months, I'm training Dusty to sit. It is easier for me. Let me show you how to do it.

    To train your dog to sit, just give him a treat-a piece of dog food will work, say "sit," hold it up and move it back over his head. Most dogs will just sit so they can watch the food. When the dog sits, give him the treat and say "good sit."

    If dogs don't sit when you hold the treat over their heads, you can push（推）their heads down. Remember to treat them when the dog's hindquarters（臀部及后腿）touch the ground.
