There were 30 children in the classroom and all were trying to think about not only what they did, but also
what our teacher already knew.
"Who broke this window?"
"Uh, Oh." I thought. I was the one who broke the window with a football. I did not mean to do it. I would
be in a lot of trouble. How could I pay for a big window like that? I didn"t want to put up my hand. But I had
to tell the truth. So, I put up my hand and told the teacher I broke the window.
Miss Green went to the bookshelf and took down a book.
"I know how you like birds, Peter." She said. "Here is a book about birds and the book is yours now. I will
not punish you this time. But Peter, you should remember that I am rewarding (奖赏) you for your honesty (诚
实), not for breaking the window."
I couldn"t believe it! The teacher didn"t punish me and I was getting my very favorite book. Now, I still use
that book, and it always reminds me of (使我想起) the lesson my teacher taught me.
Honesty is always best.

for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a school teacher, she also found
time to volunteer. One year, she organized a Super Saturday fun day for kids in the community. She also used
to volunteer at the mint festival every year, One summer she served food, another year she organized an art
programme.
After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to
see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would
be fun to read to elderly people in her community. She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was
almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the
information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and
grandchildren.
After a hurricane (飓风) destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red
Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre. She says,"I have always liked the Red Cross
because the organization helps people in need no matter what."
One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees (难民) who needed to learn English. Now,
she meets once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Sahra is reading and writing skills.
Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and
then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the
book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life.
Helen says,"The most rewarding (有益的) part of volunteer work is becoming friends with the people
I help, They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs."
