One year ago， eleven of my friends and I got together and made a group. We called (our) “12 Caring Women”.
We meet once a and take turns to hold the activity. We each donate(捐赠) 20 dollars， so we have 240 dollars each month for (do) good things.
When we(meet)， we discuss what to do in the month. Last month， we donated the money to a lady. She had a baby in an earthquake， but didn't have money (raise) her baby.
Over the past year， we have helped many people need. We work with the government and (school). They help us find people in need. If we don't have people to in one month， we give the money to the nursing home(养老院).
When we help people， we feel very happy. I'm writing this passage (ask) more people to join us.
The other day， I was getting into my car when I saw an old man walking up the hill. He looked tired， so I waited to see 1he was OK. He was fine， so I 2 him where he came from. He said that he just 3a train. He was almost blind， but I said he was4.
We spent the next thirty minutes 5 about his life. He told me he invited 6 the army during the Second World War. And I even found 7 had a connection through a family member! We laughed so much that we almost cried.
It cost me nothing other than thirty minutes of my 8. I learnt so much， and Albert enjoyed the talking and left smiling.
I also had a(n) opportunity 9 to thank this great man for all he did to keep the country 10 during the war.
Thanks， amazing Albert. You are an inspiration!
Two hunters rented(租用) a small plane to fly them to a forest. They told the pilot to come back and pick them up in about two weeks. By the end of the two weeks， they had hunted a lot of animals and they wanted to put all of them onto the plane.
But the pilot said， “This plane can only take one lamb. You'll have to leave the others behind.”
Then one hunter said， “But last year， another pilot with the same plane let us take two lambs and some other animals onto the plane.”
So the new pilot thought about it. Finally he said， “OK， since you did it last year， I think this year we can do it again.” Then they put all the animals they had hunted onto the plane， and the plane took off. Five minutes later， it crashed.
The three men looked around， and one hunter asked the other one， “Where do you think we are now?”
The other hunter looked around and said， “I think we're about one mile away from the place where the plane crashed last year.”
Zach has a stepson， Bradley. One day， Zach drove over to meet Bradley. Bradley was a student in a high school. He neither liked nor disliked Zach， even though he had known Zach for three years. Zach was still trying to get along with Bradley. He told Bradley that he was coming over. Bradley said OK. When Zach got there， he asked if Bradley wanted to drive his car. Bradley had a driver's license. Bradley said all right. Zach told him not to drive too fast， but he could drive anywhere he wanted. Bradley got on the 210 Road and headed northwest. Zach gave Bradley a few driving tips： Don't drive next to big cars； don't drive behind trucks with goods...
On their way back， Zach suggested that they stop at the golf course(高尔夫球场). He wanted to show Bradley how to play golf. But Bradley didn't like it； he liked his video games. However， Bradley soon found that playing golf was fun and he did very well. The next day， Bradley， for the first time， called Zach. Bradley asked if Zach would come the next Saturday， so they could take a drive and go to the golf course again. Zach said yes， with a happy feeling in his heart.
A smuggler(走私犯) drove to the border. When a soldier looked in the truck， he was surprised to find six big bags.
“What's in them?” the soldier asked.
“Dirt，” the smuggler answered.
“Take them out，” the soldier said. “I want to check them.”
The smuggler opened the bags， and sure enough， each one of them was filled with dirt. So the soldier let him go.
A week later， the smuggler came back， and once again， the soldier looked in the truck.
“What's in the bags this time?” he asked.
“Dirt， more dirt，” said the smuggler.
Not believing him， the soldier checked the bags and， once again， he found nothing but dirt.
The same thing happened every week for six months， and the soldier finally became so frustrated(沮丧的) that he left and worked as a waiter in a restaurant. Then one night， the smuggler went to the restaurant and had a drink. The waiter saw him and said， “Listen! Drinks are free tonight if you tell me what you were smuggling all that time.”
Slowly， the smuggler got close to the waiter and said， “Trucks.”
My life plan is to visit all the states in the US. Several years ago， my husband and I were traveling in the northwest. One day， when we were having our breakfast， I lost my wallet that had over $300 in it. There was no way for us to be able to find it， but we went on with our trip.
We went off to drive around and enjoy the city， completely forgetting my missing wallet. Later on， when I checked my phone， there was a message from the boss of the restaurant where we had our breakfast：
“I have something that belongs to you， and you're going to be very happy.”
We got back to the restaurant and there was the wallet on the table with all the money in it!
The boss's son found the wallet in front of the door， and brought it to him. He thought that it must belong to someone who had a meal in the restaurant， so he checked inside and found my phone number on a piece of paper.
