Jack Brown, an office worker, lives in Washington. He inherited (继承) a million dollars when he was 23, but he wasn’t happy at all. When his college friends were looking for their jobs, he didn’t have to. Jack decided to live a simple life like everyone else. He gave $10000 of his money to a charity to help poor children live a better life. Today he is 36. He still wears cheap shoes and clothes and drive a small car only, but he is very happy.
Up to now Jack has helped some children from poor countries all over the world, by sending them each $ 200 a month. The money was used for the children’s study, food, medicine and clothing. Jack receives a report each year on the children’s progress(进步). They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English.
When Jack first heard about these children, he wanted to help them. “It was nothing special,” he said. “Until I went to these countries and met the children I was helping, I didn’t know anything about their life.” Once Jack went to meet a little girl in Africa. He said that the meeting was very exciting. “When I met her, I felt very, very happy,” he said.

When I was about 12，a girl in my class liked to point out (指出）my problems. I was too thin；
I wasn’t a good student；I talked too much；I was too proud (骄傲），and so on. At last，I became very angry and ran to my father.
He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a list of what she said and find the things that are true. ”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered (发现）that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the first time, I got a clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Dad. He didn’t take it, “That’s just for you，” he said “You know the truth about yourself better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you，you should find it helpful. ’，
Our world is full of people who think they know your matter. Don’t be angry and feel hurt. Listen to them.

Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge(知识). If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.
● Always notice the environment (环境)around you. You should not walk alone outside. Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them easily.
●Your bag should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting it on your back. When a bus is full of people, it is easy enough for a thief to take away the things in the bag on your back.
●If you are followed by someone you don’t know, cross the street and go to the other way, let the person understand that you know he or she is after you. Next, don’t go home at once. You are safer in the street than you are alone in your home or in a lift.
●If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes
earlier before the bus leaves. This stops other people from studying you. On the bus, don’t sit alone. Sit behind the driver or with other people. Don’t sleep.

A boy was riding a motorbike very fast form my side. It seemed that he did not see the signal. When the boy took notice of the old man, he tried to slow down his motorbike but there was no time.
