Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.
Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my was more manageable , I ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs. it was years ago and times have changed. I live with mother on a country farm.
Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to make up for my disability pension (残疾抚恤金). I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited(限制) in my choices. I decided that I would consider to singing in restaurants.
My family are all musicians, so I was when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of to get started. And often you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can use.
When I told the owner of the shop about my , he gave me a long thoughtful . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”
He led me the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand on his treasure(财宝) and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your pick and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”
I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
His still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.

It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.
I was the nurse on duty that day. I didn't think there would be any patients. Just then five bodies at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said , lowering her head.
But when they described their problems, things got a little strange. Two of the children had headaches, but they didn’t show any of headaches at all. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
I didn't say anything, I explained that they might wait for a little while before a doctor saw her. She answered, “Take your time; it's warm here.”
I checked the chart after another nurse had finished registering(登记) the family. No —they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.
I looked at the family by the Christmas tree. The littlest one was pointing at the television and saying something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at lights on the Christmas tree.
I went back to the nurses' station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses who felt bored with Christmas, turned to compassion((怜悯) for the family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action. We began to prepare a party for our Christmas . We needed presents. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things available that could be presents.
, as the family walked to the door to leave, the four-year-old child came running back, gave me a hug and , “Thanks for being our angels today.”

Cars are used for They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to parts of the city, they have to drive in order to their products.
Farmers have to drive into the city in order to shop for necessities.

When the children are too to walk that far, their parents take driving them to school. One drives on Mondays, taking her children and the neighbors' children as well.
Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays and so on. This is forming a car pool (拼车).
