Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. This is about the family standing ahead of us.
The family had eight children. Their clothes were not expensive but clean.
The children were well-behaved. They stood in line, two by two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night. You could tell that they had never been to the circus before.
The tickets lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly replied, “I want eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets please, so I can take my family to the circus”.
The ticket lady quoted(報）the price. The man stopped holding his hand. The man’s lips started to quiver(顫抖). He leaned toward her and asked again, “How much did you say?”
The ticket lady quoted the price again. The man didn’t have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he couldn’t take them to the circus.
My dad put his hand into his pocket, pulling out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground, though we weren’t rich. Then he reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.”
The man knew what was going on. He looked into my dad’s eyes, he replied, “Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn’t get to see the circus that night, but we didn’t care.

I still remember my first night as a young policeman.
It was a cold and wet night. Over the radio came the message to deal with an accident in one of the side streets of the city. The scene of the accident wasn’t far away and we arrived after 10 minutes. Two cars had crashed. Two women were lying on the street and one driver was still in the car. The driver was quite drunk(喝醉) and kept shouting to us. He didn’t get badly hurt. A young woman died at once when the two cars crashed. I was holding the other woman and tried to stop the bleeding, but at last I had to watch her die in my arms.
Three months later, I saw the driver in court and found him to be a normal person. He was sorry for his actions. In the end, he was put into the prison for several years. A man isn’t a man if he drinks 10 beers in an hour. A man is a man when he knows his limit and takes responsibility(責(zé)任). When he can stay away from wine, he can drive more safely.

We often see many animals. But do you know how these animals say things?
Let’s see a rabbit. When a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away at once. When it runs, its tail moves up and down. When others see this, they runs quickly ,too. Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee finds some food, it goes back to its home. It can’t tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it can dance. This may tell the other bees where the food is .
Some animals say things by making sounds like man does. For example, a dog barks when a stranger comes close. Some birds can make several different sounds, each sound has its own meaning. In a word, every animal has its own language.
