We all know that we should stop in front of a red light. We must wait 1 it turns green. But if there is no one around or if we are very 2 that it's OK to run the light, will we jaywalk (乱穿马路) ?
Yesterday, I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg to meet an old friend. I was already late for the meeting, so I was driving 3 . When I came to a crossing, the traffic light turned red. Then 4 I looked left, right and behind me. I was alone at that time. 5 was on the road. But I sat in the car, still waiting for the light lo turn green.
I started thinking about why I didn't run the light. I was not 6 about being arrested (逮捕) because there was not a police officer or a camera. There was not a car or a man. There would be no 7 in running the light.
Suddenly, I realized that I stopped because it's part of an 8 we have in society. We trust each other to 9 the rule: Don't run a red light. We always trust each other to do the 10 thing. The trust can be more powerful than laws.
One day after work, Tony walked into a restaurant in George Street and ordered something for dinner. Thirty minutes later, a group of three people came in and ordered theirs.
To his surprise, the group got served first. He watched as they began to eat. They were laughing at Tony because Tony had to wait so long. So Tony decided to leave. He asked the waiter to cancel (取消) his order, but the waiter said, "Yours is a special order, being prepared by the boss himself. It'll take a little more time."
Tony had to sit down and waited patiently. Shortly after, his meal was served by six waiters. In fact, the boss was Tony's old friend. They had long time no see. The boss saw Tony when he entered and decided to give him a surprise. The boss changed his simple meal to a five-star meal for free.
The three people were shocked. They asked unhappily why they didn't get that kind of service.
Such is life! Some people may laugh at you and talk about how they're better than you. Don't worry! Life has seen you and doesn't want you to be served with a simple meal. You have to wait long because yours must be special.

One day, I dropped another pecan (山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full. I was visiting my grandpa's farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn't about to let him down.
Then something caught my eyes: a squirrel picked up a pecan climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hole of the tree.
Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hole was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. I took all the pecans from the hole. Now the basket was full!
I was so proud of myself. I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I'd collected. "Look, Grandpa," I shouted, "look at all of the pecans I found!"
Grandpa took a look at my basket. "Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?" I told him how I'd followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel's habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
"That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food," he said. "Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?"
"I didn't think about that," I said.
"I know," Grandpa said, "But a good man should never take advantage of (占……的便宜) someone else's hard work, even the squirrel's."
Suddenly, the image (形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn't leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do.

You may always hear some myth (传言) about animals. Today, let's talk about birds. It is said that if you touch a baby bird, the parents will completely abandon (抛弃) it. Do you really believe it?
In fact, most birds have a very poor sense of smell, so in most cases, they are unable to notice the smell of humans on baby birds. Not only that, but most types of birds aren't so quick to abandon their young when they sense danger. Some birds will even do their best to protect their babies when they are in danger.
Actually, in very few cases, parent birds sometimes abandoned their nests from something touching their young, just because they noticed it by sight, not smell. When this happens, most of the parent birds usually won't care, but a few of them are a little more careful than usual. Sometimes, they may temporarily (暂时地) abandon the nest in order to better watch what will happen.
What's more, in most cases, even if the nest is destroyed by wind or something, you could create a new one and put all the baby birds back in it, and when their parents came back, they wouldn't care their baby birds were in a different nest. As long as you put the new nest near where the old one, they will find it.
