Anna's house was high enough to escape the flood, so when the water had disappeared and the other houses were there with no roof and no walls and all covered with mud(泥) , her house was quite all right.
Her house was quite small, her husband was dead, and she had four children , Anna took in one of the families that had lost in the flood and she her home with them until it was for them to rebuild their houses.
Anna's friends were puzzled （迷惑的）when they saw Anna do this. They could not understand why Anna wanted to give so much more work and trouble when she already had quite a few children to support .

The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, ‘We won’t be able to have much for this year, so I’m going to only one present for all of us. Now I’ll go and get it.’ She came back a girl who was even poorer than they, and who had no parents. ‘Here’s our present, ’ she said to her children. The children were happy to get such a present. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister. was that Christmas present.”

Is your schoolbag too heavy to carry? The e-schoolbag will help you. In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-textbook. It is a small computer for students. Heavy schoolbags have been a serious problem for them for a long time. But the e-schoolbag will change everything.
It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag. Also, it is as small as a usual textbook, an exercise book and so on. They can be made into chips that are as small as a stamp. The students can read the text page by page on the “screen”, take notes, or even send e-mails to their teachers. All they have to do is to put the right chip into the e-schoolbag and press the button.
It is said that e-schoolbags have been put into use in some Chinese middle schools. In 2012, some students in Shanghai started to use e-schoolbags in the new term.

I still remember my first night as a young policeman.
It was a cold and wet night. Over the radio came the message to deal with an accident in one of the side streets of the city. The scene of the accident wasn’t far away and we arrived after 10 minutes. Two cars had crashed. Two women were lying on the street and one driver was still in the car. The driver was quite drunk(喝醉) and kept shouting to us. He didn’t get badly hurt. A young woman died at once when the two cars crashed. I was holding the other woman and tried to stop the bleeding, but at last I had to watch her die in my arms.
