A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile zone（区域）, when a 36 came behind him. Right away the man started thinking of 37 to give.
As the policeman came to him, he said, “Hi, officer, I guess you 38 me a little bit over the speed limit（限制）. I was in a rush to get 39 , to be with my wife and kids. You know my younger son wasn’t feeling too 40 when I left home this morning. I’m afraid he’s ill.”
The policeman said, “Well, I guess so,” and started 41 something in his notebook. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was 42 writing. When the man was wondering why he hadn’t asked for his driving 43 so far, the policeman came to his window, 44 him a piece of paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man wondered: how much was this 45 going to be? However, the man was 46 it was not a ticket at all and he began to 47 :
“I had a daughter who was 48 by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver. He got a fine, a few months in 49 , and then was free, free to hug（拥抱） his two daughters. I only had one, and now I have to 50 until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to 51 that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive (原谅) him. So pray (祈祷) for me, and be 52 when you drive again. My son is all I have been left with.”
The man was completely 53 and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove 54 , even a few miles 55 the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.

Adults（成年人）usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg（乞讨）. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.
But the old man  said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意义的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than（除了）staying focused on（专心于）the things we enjoy doing.

Long time ago, there was a seed. Because he was only a seed, 36 cared to notice him. Thus, feeling useless, the seed thought he was not important at all.
Then one day, a 37 picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun. He was 38 , thinking, "Why would a wind do such a thing?" But 39 any pleasant answers, he was 40 with sunlight as well as 41 , sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
Time flew by and years later, he saw a 42 sitting by his side. "Thank God for this. I really need some 43 ",he heard the traveler say.
"What are you 44 ?"The seed asked. He thought the man was 45 him. Surely he had seen many people sitting by his side, 46 no one ever spoke to him like that.
"Who is this?" The man was 47
"This is me, the seed. "
"The seed?" The man looked at the big 48 "Are you kidding me? You are not a seed. You are a tree. A big tree ！
" 49 ?"
"Yes! Why else do you think people 50 here?"
"What do they come here for?"
"To 51 your shade! Don"t tell me you didn"t know you had 52 over time. "
A moment passed, and the traveler"s words made him think a lot.
The seed, now a big tree, thought and 53 for the first time in his life. The years of suffering from the sun and the rain were useful to him at last.
"Oh! That means I"m not a(n) 54 seed anymore! Wow! I"m a big tree now. That"s the 55 that I really want !"

On Saturday nights, A.J.Coston doesn’t get a lot of sleep. Usually three or four times a night, a loud bell rings, a red light flashes, and he has to jump out of his bed. That’s because he’s a weekend volunteer firefighter（消防员）with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Station 13 in Northern Virginia. During the week, he lives at home with his mom, dad and sister and does his main job which is going to high school.
“I have always wanted to get into firefighting since I was a little kid watching fire trucks go by,” he says. “One day on the Internet I noticed that Loudoun County offered a junior firefighter program.” He was only 16, but he got it.
Fighting fires is dangerous work. Firefighters never stop practicing the skills they need to stay safe. Once Coston learned those skills, he was allowed to work inside burning buildings.
“Teamwork is most important,” he says. “It’s the whole team that puts the fire out.”
Firefighters feel great about helping people. “My most unbelievable call was probably the time four kids were struck by lightning,” says Coston. He will be off to college next fall, building on his dream job. “I’ll get my degree in emergency（紧急情况） medical care. and then work in a fire and rescue company for a while. I want to be a flight doctor on a helicopter in the end, but I will never forget the days as a firefighter. These are my unforgettable experiences,” he says.
