Helping others always brings you something， sooner or later， one way or another． I didn't know that until one day when I went to my （1） school．
It was a cold and （2） morning after the winter vacation． Actually， it was my （3） day at my new school． I was walking slowly and worrying about lots of things． It was early and there weren't many people on the road． A girl （4） was on a bike passed me quickly． She was riding on snowy ice when suddenly she fell off her bike just a few steps in front of me． She was trying hard to get up， （5） fell again． Without thinking， I went over and helped her stand up． She said "Thank you" with a smile and then rode away． The words "Thank you" （6） me and this small event made me feel less nervous about my new school．
（7） ， I got to school． The teacher led me to the classroom and asked me to sit down （8） a girl． I was so nervous． I knew some of the students were looking at me but I didn't dare to look at them． Soon the first class started． It was English． They used a different textbook from my old school and I didn't have a copy． As I was wondering what to do， a book appeared in front of me． "Let's share，" the girl next to me said． "And hi， I'm Carrie．" I （9） ． It was the girl I helped that morning． （10） a surprise!
From then on， we became good friends． She was my first and best friend at my new school． Helping her also helped me find a friend．
