Have you ever offered a helping hand to those who are in trouble?

One day, two 41 were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. They thought the woman looked very 42 . They went up to her and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we will help carry your basket.”

B篇

As a rule, we have a test about some usual things in our life every two months. During my second month of nursing school, our teacher gave us a pop test as usual.

I was a serious, hard-working and careful student, so I passed the questions easily until I read the last one, “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” I thought this was sure some kind of joke. I saw the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark hair and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.

Before the class ended, one student named Nancy asked our teacher if the last question would count toward our test grade. This was also all the students’ question. We all wondered why he gave this question in the test, because we all felt it meaningless.

“Certainly,” said our teacher. “In your life you will meet many people. All of them are important. They should get your attention and care, even if all you do is smile or just say an easy ‘hello’ .” We all kept silent after hearing this.

I’ve never forgotten that special lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
