A 14-year-old boy from the USA was described as a hero yesterday after he saved the life of a woman in another country.
Dean Bluey from Dallas, Texas, was a school boy who has muchin computer. One day, he was
an email to a friend on the Internet. Suddenly he received a message saying “Help! Pain! Help”. The message was from Finland,
of kilometers away from America. “I didn’t know
I should do,” Dean said to a reporter afterwards. “It was really difficult to tell if the message was real.” So Dean did nothing at first.
the message kept coming.
“By then it was easy to see that someone was in trouble,” Dean explained. Heand discovered that the sender was a student called Tarja, who was alone in a university library. She was ill. What was
, there was no phone around her. Her only way of communicating with the world was by email. Dean got on touch
the police immediately. And they realized that the situation was quite serious. They called the police in Finland. Then an ambulance rushed to the library.
, she was still alive and was sent to the hospital quickly.
“I’m glad she’s OK,” Dean said. “It’s hard to believe, saved her life.”

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas studentin Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a goodeasily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the
for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn't help telephoning the company to ask
they didn't want him. The answer was simple. " We don't offer jobs to
people in Germany."
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it wasto skip buying subway tickets. So
save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway
times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth willsooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the
rule.
That's all for my speech. Thank you!

An artist went to a beautiful part of the country for a holiday, and stayed with a farmer. Every day he out with his brushes(刷子), and painted from morning to evening. And then when it got
, he went back to the farm and had a good dinner
he went to bed. At the end of his holiday, he wanted to pay the farmer, but the farmer said, “No, I don’t want
. Please give me one of your
. In a week the money will be used up, but your picture will
be here.” The artist was very pleased and thanked the farmer for saying such kind of things
his pictures. The farmer smiled and
again, “It’s not that. I have a son in London. He wants to
an artist. When he comes home next month, I’ll show
your picture. Then he will not want to be an artist any more, I think.”
