I was playing the guitar when I got a text message from my classmate Ted. He simply said, "An earthquake happened in Jiuzhaigou just now. "I thought he was just kidding.

I don't usually watch TV on weekdays. That evening I finished my homework earlier than before, so I turned on the TV. I got the news about the earthquake from the reporters on TV.

Last month there was a car accident. A six﹣year﹣old girl was hit by a car and hurt her head. Her father stayed with her in the hospital, while her mother was staying with the other three children at home. The mother had no one to help look after her children at home if she went to the hospital to look after her daughter. So she called our volunteering organization （组织）for help. The mother was so helpless that I decided to help her. I looked after her children in her home for a few days. The oldest one was only eight who felt sorry for his sister. I always hugged him to make him fell better. I told him that his sister would come home with mom and dad.

Some days later, the news came that the surgery（手术）was successful. Then they returned home. I was glad to meet the mom who had such trust in me to look after her family. It was also such a great feeling just to be able to help.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something4about how he grew it. The farmer5his seed（做种子的）corn to his neighbors.

"How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the6with you each year."

"Why, sir, "said the farmer, "didn't you know? The7picks up pollen（花粉）from corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow8corn, cross﹣pollination（异花传粉）will affect the quality（质量）of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must9my neighbors to grow good corn. "
