A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car.“Is this your car,Paul?”he asked. Paul answered,“Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised(惊奇).“You mean your brother gave it to you and it did not cost you anything? Boy,I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫).
Of course, Paul knew what he was going to wish for(希望).He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,”the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”   “Oh yes,I’d love that.”
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,“Paul,would you mind (介意)driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are? the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent(美分). And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

My name is Scott and my hobby is collecting stickers (贴纸). It is popular with many people because it is not an expensive hobby.
I began to collect stickers in 1938. One day when I was playing in the house of my neighbor, Bob, he showed me his sticker albums(册子). I was happy to see so many beautiful stickers of different shapes and sizes. He gave me a few from his collection, and my interest in stickers started from that day.
At first, I kept my stickers in sticker albums. Later I found it difficult to move the stickers in the albums, so I decided(决定) to keep them in boxes.
Most of my stickers are from my parents. They often buy me nice stickers. I also exchange(交换) some of my stickers with my aunt. She is an air hostess (空姐) and she buys me stickers from different countries around the world.
In my free time, I like to bring out all my lovely stickers, lay them on the floor and take a look at them. I really enjoy doing this and it helps me recall(回忆) who gave them to me, where and when I got them.

Greg Woodburn, a university student, spends a lot of time cleaning sports shoes. Some of them once belonged to him; some belonged to his friends. But soon the shoes will have new owners, poor children in the USA and 20 other countries, thanks to Greg's Share Our Soles(鞋底) (S.O.S) charity.
Greg was a high school running star in a small town in California. He had to stop running for months because his knee was injured. "I started thinking about all the things I got from running, the health, the friendships and the confidence." he says. And I realized there are children who don't even have shoes.
Greg collected his own sports shoes and then called his friends and the town. His aim was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006. When the number climbed to more than 500 pairs. Greg know that he could collect sports shoes all year round.
Now he has set up collection boxes in his town. So far, S.O.S has collected and donated more than 3,000 pairs of shoes. And Greg has cleaned almost all of them. "People think of it as duty work," he says, "but I like doing it, because I feel happy when I'm doing it. It's not work I want to pass on to someone else."
In just three years, Greg has started three branches(分部) of S.O.S and there are more and more sports shoes.
For many poor children who have received the shoes mean opportunity. Two young boys in southern California used to go to school on alternate days(隔日) because they both shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small for the other. Thanks to S.O.S, each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now go to school every day. When they graduate, they say they will help others, just as Greg helped them.
