Our holidays were coming to an end but we had not yet realized our plan to drive to Dalat. Our about Dalat with its shining cherry blossoms (花) and scenic views were us to start our journey.
Then one morning our dream . We hired a car and drove to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes on either side of the road before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (抚摸) our skin and in spirits we were singing merrily.
When we reached Blao Pass, we saw a white in front of us. We down the pass. It seemed to us that the young girl in the white car did not want to be as she was driving at full speed. Suddenly she lost of her car; it turned to the left and crashed into the slope and .
Quite frightened, we braked and jumped out of our car. We turned her car over and pulled out the girl who was in the car. The girl had narrowly escaped death. She was shivering like an aspen (白杨) leaf. In spite of her , she looked very beautiful, just like an angel. When she had from her panic, she timidly (胆小地) thanked us for having rescued her, then she looked at her flat in despair.
Reading her thoughts, we took off our shirts and began to the punctured tyre. We then put on the wheel for her. As soon as the work had been done, we started our again and followed Da Huong Lan—the girl we had helped.

Dinah Shore said, “There are no hopeless situations — only people who are hopeless about them.” Some 30 years ago, when he was only 11 years old, Morgan Rowe lost his left arm and much of the use of his right arm. It happened when he off a tractor at his father’s fence company, and was dragged under the machine.
Young Morgan was from the hospital after three and a half months. The first thing he to do was to help pay the bill — $30,000 worth. For a boy of 11 to such a task, the situation seemed .
For five years Morgan roadsides picking up cans and bottles. He thousands of cans and picked up and old newspapers. He never gave up . First, he paid off the $455 ambulance bill. He was still a long way off his parents raised another $9,000 toward the debt.
People began to the injured boy and poured in, totaling $25,000. The bill was paid ！Morgan set aside the money for future education.
What then? Morgan his projects and collected money for the hospital so he could others though the bill was paid up.
Maybe someone to tell the boy he was too injured for that kind of work. Maybe someone neglected to inform him that the was hopeless. Somehow young Morgan didn’t that an 11-year-old boy could never pay off a hospital bill so large.
Martin Luther once said, “Everything that is done in the world is done by the hopeful.” Without hope, is possible.

There is one word that is on the lips of Americans , day and night -"Sorry."
Once as I was walling on the street, a young man ran by ,brushing against my handbag. Even as he continued on his .way, he back and said "sorry" to me. Even in a rush, he didn't forget to apologize.
One day, after I bought some apples, the salesman was giving me the change, but I wasn't ready for it And a dropped on the ground. "I'm sorry," he said while bending down to pick it up. I was-why would he apologize when it was my .
Another time ,I stepped a man's foot in a lift At the same time, we both said "sorry"．I thought it interesting at first - was it really for him to apologize?
Later on, an American friend to me that according to the American ideas, the lift is a place everyone should be able to stand in. After someone occupies（占据） a position in the lift, making it for someone else to find a place to stand in ,isn't it necessary to an apologize?
During my stay in America ,I gradually that when friction（摩擦）happen in daily life, Americans don't care much about who is responsible. Someone is troubled, a "sorry" is always necessary. The "sorry”would cool tempers（脾气） the other person is hurt. Perhaps this is why I saw anyone quarreling on the buses, subways or street in America.

She asked the boy what the object was. “White,” he answered.
