“My father’s ill ,” she said to no one in particular(特别地). I could see worry in her . I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students a smile.
With a sudden change of interest, I asked, “ What’s wrong with him?”
With her eyes wet and her voice , she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve already my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.” I couldn’t answer. My heart ached for her.
I sat on the thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that. Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus , that was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares .

Once, a circle lost a piece of its own.The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around, looking for its piece.But because it was not complete, it could only roll (滚) very slowly.It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine the way.It talked with worms.It found lots of different pieces, but of them fit.So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on for the lost piece.Then one day the circle found a piece that fit .The circle put the piece into .It could be whole with nothing lost.It was so happy and began to roll.As it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms.It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly.It felt so sad it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled very slowly.
Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something.A man who everything is poor in some ways.He will never have hopes, dreams or something .He will never know someone loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn’t be perfect.But we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always have a wonderful time in our life.

Will you put other’s needs before your own?What will you get if you do?Here is an experience of mine.
It was a wet day and I had a time. I was busy and everyone I talked to was in a bad mood. What’s more，I went out without breakfast and I left my at home. So I couldn’t get lunch and was terribly hungry.
When I finshed my work，I to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy .Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my meal of the day at 5：00 p.m.
As I was halfway home，my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in and needed a lift（搭便车）home. My mind said，“I will get him I get the meal.”But my mouth said，“All right,I’ll give him a .”
He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the stopped him from making that journey.
Traffic was a . A drive to him normally took 10 minutes but that day it took 30 minutes.
Now you would guess the person that I was helping is a friend of mine. But，in fact，he is a friend of a friend.
I wonder if I will ever see this person again but I feel glad I was there when he
me.
So you will feel yourself helpful and useful when you more about others.

One day, together with Leela, Jenny went to an orphanage(孤儿院). All the children there were very young. At first, Jenny was not sure if she could have a way to communicate with them. She went over to the children and sat beside them. After some time, one of the children her. She felt a little relaxed and smiled back. Then she went close to the child. She slowly put her arm around the child and started a song in German. The child kept smiling and started repeating the words after her. The words that came from the little mouth were different from those that Jenny sang, but the rhythm(节奏) was the same. Jenny sat a little more and the child followed her again. Wanting to join in the , another child went up to Jenny and started singing the rhythm. Then more children joined. They many smiles together.
From the other side of the hall, Leela was smiling and watching them. Noticing Leela’s on her, Jenny had an exciting feeling from her heart: “See, I don’t have any language barriers here. We speak and communicate!” At that moment, she understood: we’re all simple human, and we have the ability to connect with each other.
