Even though the man had a smile on his face, the old lady was worried. "2 had stopped to help for the last hour. Was he going to hurt3? He didn't look safe, he looked poor and hungry." the old lady thought.
He could see that she was worried. So he said," I am here 4you, madam. It seems that you have a flat tire(车胎漏气).5don't you wait in the car where it's warm while I change the tire for you? By the way, my name is Bryant Anderson." Though feeling doubtful, the old lady6her car.

The man waited until the lady started her car and drove off. It was a cold day, but he felt 10as he went on his way home
Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, "the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.
It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn't appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.
Long long ago, there was a beautiful little girl. She was alone because she had no family and no home. She only had her clothes and some bread. But she was very kind.
A man asked her if she had something to eat. She gave him her bread. A child cried and told her that his head was very cold. So she gave him her hat. Then, she met a child with no coat. She gave him her coat.
One day, in the cold dark forest, she met another child who asked for her dress. The little girl thought that it was dark and nobody could see her, so she gave her dress away. At last, she had almost nothing: no family, no where to live, nothing to eat and little to wear.
Suddenly, stars fell from the sky. These stars became pieces of money and a beautiful dress.
The little girl was rich for the rest of her life and she still helped the people in need with her money.
Earthquakes usually come without warning. What should you do if this happens to you？ An earthquake is dangerous, but there are still things you can do to protect yourself.
Stay calm as the earth begins to shake. Your chances of survival in an earthquake go up if you can keep calm. Staying calm is not easy, but it can save your life.
If you are inside when the earthquake starts, get under a table or a bed. You need to have something strong around you to protect you from falling objects. Do not stand near walls or windows and stay out of the kitchen. The kitchen is dangerous because of many glass objects.
If you are outside, get to an open area as fast as you can. Stay away from buildings and trees. If you are in a car, pull over to a place where there are no trees or tall buildings and stay in the car. If you are close to the sea, try to get as far away from the water as possible. Earthquakes can cause huge waves(浪) that can really harm the people nearby.
When the earthquake is over, there is still plenty of danger. For example, gas fire often comes with an earthquake. If you see a fire, quickly move outdoor to an open area.
Always remember to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
The World Health Organization(世界卫生组织) says air pollution kills seven million people around the world each year. Even if polluted air does not kill us, it can make us very sick.
However, breathing dirty air may do more than hurt your body. It can also affect(影响) your brain and your ability to think.
A new study shows that air pollution can cause a "huge" reduction(减少)in our intelligence(智商).The researchers reported that long-term exposure(暴露) to air pollution can affect a person's mental(智力的) abilities in two areas: language and math.
Xi Chen, the researcher of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person's education level by about one year.
Chen said that the effect(结果) generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.
"The older persons-they are more affected. And we find, quite interestingly, men are more affected than women. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.
The researchers noted that the effect of pollution on language ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated.
Why were language skills more affected than math? There are two main kinds of tissue(组织)in the brain: white matter and grey matter. White matter is more connected with a person's language skills, while grey matter is connected to our ability to solve math problems. Studies have shown that air pollution has a great effect on the white matter in the brain, but not the grey matter.
Chen said that air pollution did affect the math skills, just not as much as their language skills.
