题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
One day I met a man in the hospital, who needed blood to save his daughter. He was struggling to get blood for her and curiously my blood type. My blood type was the same needed for his daughter. Before that I donated my blood, so I was afraid of doing this and didn’t know what to do.
Then suddenly I saw a little girl in the hospital, who was from a critical disease and needed blood from her six-year-old brother. Yes, from her younger brother, why?
His brother had suffered with the same disease and by God"s kindness by developing the anti-bodies(抗体) needed to fight for the disease.
The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be to give his blood to his sister. I saw him for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I"ll do it if it will save my sister."
As the transfusion（输液）progressed, he smiled, seeing the returning to her sister"s cheeks. But suddenly, his face grew pale and his faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a voice, "Am I going to die?"
Being young, the boy had the doctor; he thought he was going to give her all his blood and his life.
I felt , when that young boy, the fact of blood donation, got ready to give his blood, thinking that he will lose his life but save his sister"s life. And I, being a mature person, knowing that this will not my life, I will not lose my life, save others’ lives and I was hesitant of doing this.
That moment my thoughts and I became enthusiastic about doing this important duty and felt that true by helping save that little girl"s life.
If any patient dies due to a blood shortage, I will not call this the of doctors, as science is still not able to make blood artificially. Only we can save others’ lives donating blood.

As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn"t want their younger brother listening in on their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten.
I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I rarely saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn"t know me he greeted me like a long lost friend, licking my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I petted and talked to this four-legged angel. He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.
I believe that God sent him in that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11th. 1958. Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. "I promised you a gift, and here it is. " What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. 1 told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. "Don’t expect any presents this year." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. "If your baby brother lives, that"ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I"d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. "What? He"s all right?" He hung up and shouted upstairs. " The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God."" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I downstairs. My sacks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

Surfing: It"s Not Just for Boys Anymore
If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would : surfing. But isn"t that a boy thing? Some people . Most certainly not.
I started surfing about five years ago and in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
When I try to surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my , there"s nothing like it. It involves body, , and soul. There"s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all us. The feeling I get when I"m surfing across that , becoming one with the , is like I"m weightless.
The one thing I can from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the "best surfer" because the ocean an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive and . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it from any other sport.
I"ve to tell every girl I know to do something that people don"t think girls can do. It"s part of being human to advance to new , so shouldn"t it be expected that girls should step up and start the limits of things boys and men used to dominate（主宰）？
There"re women side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to , and they will.
