I was in line waiting to pay. A little boy in the front was buying some clothes. I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he broke his pig bank(猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was $ 8.00 short after counting his money.
It was clear that the boy already used all the money. The lady in front of me said, "Well,I could pay half of that." I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We searched our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills (纸币). Other customers behind began searching their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and moving that all these strangers seemed to have the same idea. All of us wanted to help the boy. Within minutes the cashier said, "I have too much money." The cashier didn't need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me said,"Wait! I didn't get a chance to give anything!"
I smiled at her and said, "You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this." The little boy smiled and thanked us. I was left with a good feeling. I saw the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, "It feels good to give, doesn't it?" I smiled back and said, "Yes!"
What would you do if your best friend and you have different ideas? At first, I didn't know how to do when I found that my best friend Karina disagreed (不同意) with me on some things.
When we first met in a summer camp, we got along so well.
But then something happened at a picnic. "Did you hear about the shopping center news?" asked one of our friends Levar. "They want to cut down lots of trees to make room for a shopping center."
"That's terrible! We have to stop that," I said.
"I disagree," said Karina. "The shopping center would give new jobs to people in need."
"But animals would lose their homes!" I said. "I want people to have jobs, but it doesn't mean cutting down trees."
I wished Karina could agree with me about saving the trees, but she had her reasons for believing what she did. I was so angry that I didn't talk to her for days.
Later, my mother knew it and said to me, "No two people are the same. You should respect(尊重) each other. And no matter what happens, the difference doesn't mean losing a good friend."
After listening to my mom's words, I said sorry to Karina and we are still good friends now.
The koala is unique(独特的) to Australia and is an important symbol of the country. The koala is found in open cucalypt(桉树) forests in south-east Queensland. Even if it is called koala bear, this animal has nothing to do with the actual bear. Koalas have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas aren't cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws (爪)! Koalas are marsupials(有袋类). This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, like a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mother's pocket for the first six months of its life.
The name"koala" comes from a native Australian word that means"no drink". The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus leaves they eat. That's where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live and also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!
Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it's because they' re lazy. But koalas aren't lazy. They sleep so much because there isn't much nutrition(营养) in cucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot. After a day of sleeping they like to move around and ea t just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by"barking" at it. Koalas do"talk" to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep . grunting (呼噜的) sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream(尖叫) like a baby. The koala is also an excellent swimmer.
They are able to cross rivers to escape from heavy flooding(泛滥).

It was a ping!" It looked 2 . It must be worth, thousands of dollars, and the owner must 3 a lot. Wheri I got back to the hotel, I took the ring to the manager and told him that I found it in the water off the 4 . He promised me that he would send out a message that a5 had been found.
That evening, while having dinner, we heard a woman cheering in a loud voice. 6 had just got the ring back! I saw her standing with the hotel manager.
