    59．Which is probably the best title of this story? A．Enough is Enough B．You Can Never be Happy Enough C．Father and Daughter D．I Wish You Enough B Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert, then you will probably keep your money somewhere in your room. If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money? One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank, one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account, one year later, you' ll have more money than you put in. Why? When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money(and the money of other people, too) to loan money to people and businesses. The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow! Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don' t need to use for a long time, this is a good way to make your money grow. You can buy a CD at a bank. You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time. That period might be from six months to five years. You can' t touch your money during that time. If you do, you must pay a penalty,or fee. Since the bank is using your money for that time period, it will pay you interest. You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account. Can you guess why? It' s because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time. Banks pay different rates of interest. So, you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD. 【查看更多】

    The London Marathon is an annual event and of the thousands of runners who take part, many of them have a story to tell as to why they are running the 26.2 mile (42.2 km) course around London.
    The men's race was won by Kenyan, Martin Lel, who finished the race in just two hours and five minutes, a personal best time for him. Irina Mikitenko was the winner of the women's race and this was astonishingly only her second race at marathon distance!
    There was also a group of 24 runners who have competed in every single one of the 28 London marathons. Jeff Aston is one of them and at 60 years old, he finished in just over three and a half hours.
    A lot of the non-competitive runners take part in the marathon to raise money for charity. Jeff estimates he has raised about ￡25,000 (350,000 RMB) over the 28 years he has been running.
    Jane Tomlinson is a well-known name in the UK. She raised millions for charity doing long cycle rides, marathons and triathlons while struggling against terminal cancer, a battle she sadly lost last year. In honor of Jane, her husband and daughter took part in the marathon. They managed to raise ￡20,000 (280,000 RMB) for a charity set up in Jane's name.
    Another astonishing one was blind runner Dave Heeley completing the marathon. As if that wasn't enough, this was his seventh marathon in seven days, as he took part in a special challenge which took him to seven countries.

    　　Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming．Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide．In closing she called me a hero．

    　　That got me thinking about what a hero is．Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car?If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life?

    　　Today I decided to look up the word“hero”in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant．It read“a person who does something brave”．As I read on, it also said“a person who is good and noble．”

    　　That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave．So I thought about something very important．Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy．As they passed by, I say,“How are you today?”Most of the time that would be no big deal, but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope．That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time．

    　　Having been near“the end of my rope”, after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition．I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery．When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend．That wonderful card probably saved my life．That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero．

    　　The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy．In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero．I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages(孤儿院)．Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world．The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten．Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared．If it works, we will also become“heroes”．

    　　Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life, just by being kind and courteous to others?The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor．

    On Christmas morning, I went to the Cockhedge Mall. People there were all busy buying their last minute requirements．I needed to buy a birthday card for my son-in-law whose birthday is the 29th of December．Picking up a few more things as well as my cared I went to join the line for the express checkout which was for people who only had a few items in a basket and not a trolley load．This line was next to the Customer Service desk．

    Seemingly waiting quite a long time, I was jogged out of my thoughts by a voice behind me making comments on the things I bought．

    It was so funny when I realized that she was describing me contents of my basket． The owner of the voice was a very pretty young lady．I said to her that I was going to buy a box of Christmas cookies but the only ones left were not to my liking．The lady told me that just opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they had lots of cookies．I said, "I'm not going to bother now．I had enough of shops and I'm going home．"

    The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time saying "If there is anyone in the line with a few items in their basket, none of which needed to be weighed, I will check out their groceries at the desk．" Because I had the sprouts which needed to be weighted, the young lady accepted the offer and walked away waving goodbye．

    Eventually my turn came at the checkout．I was walking away when I met my new friend once again who handed me a beautiful box of Christmas cookies．With a big hug she said "Hope you have a lovely Christmas．" She had been into Superdrug to buy me cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge．

    What a generosity to a stranger! I was so surprised you could have knocked me down with a feather．My Good Samaritan would never know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family．Telling them this story, as we ate around the table, kept everyone spellbound．
