me nearly two hour   the football match.

Once upon a time, there was a man. He suffered from serious eye pain. He visited 1doctors in the world. He also tried different kinds of medicine. But nothing helped.

One day, the man visited2 famous eye expert. The expert examined him3for a long time. Finally, he suggested the man looked4 only green things for a period of time. It was a very strange suggestion, but the man had no choice but to have a try.

He hired several workers and asked them 5everything he could see in his house green. To everyone's surprise, it really6 .The pain was starting to go away.

Several weeks later, a friend7 was in white visited the man. As soon as he walked into the man's house, he saw a servant. The servant 8 in green from head to toe by the man. He came running 9 a can of green paint and poured all the paint on the friend. The friend wondered10 was happening.

The man came out of his room. He first apologized to his friend. He then explained that he had asked the servant to do this11he needed to see green things only for some time.

The friend laughed aloud after12 that. "Why did you take the trouble to paint all things green?" he asked. "It will13easier if you buy a pair of green glasses. You can paint all these walls and floors and 14objects green, but you cannot paint the whole world green." "You're right.15stupid I am!" said the man.

Most young boys don't like growing flowers and watering them. But for 16-year-old Angus, working in the garden isn't just a hobby — it has changed his life.

Angus has a special illness and his IQ is lower than a normal boy. Six months ago, he started learning how to grow flowers. Now, he spends hours in the garden growing flowers, watering and looking after them. "Before working in the garden, it was difficult for Angus to concentrate in class and sometimes he didn't want to go to school," said his mother Kim. "Now he can't wait to go to school and he is happy every day. We can see Angus is able to work in a garden center in the future,"

Research shows that working in the garden improves mental and physics health. In the past, soldiers in Egypt treated their mental problems after war by working in the garden. Even now, some doctors advise people to work in the garden to treat their mental health problems. And doctors also advise young people like Angus to work in the garden. The lives of hundreds of children in Britain with special needs, like Angus, have been changed by this special kind of education. When working in the garden, children have a chance to learn a lot of important skills, such as how to work with other people and how to take care of plants. Besides, the children become more confident after working in the garden.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m. When I arrived to collect, I saw a small woman in her eighties standing before me. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."

"Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"

"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.

"Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long time." I quietly shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived. Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now." We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

"How much shall I give you?" she asked.

"Nothing," I said.

"You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly and said, "You gave an old woman a little moment of happiness."
