I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years.
So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a
small lake in the south-east of the town. They have filled in the lake and built a large
shopping mall and a swimming pool there. They have also built a new post office just
across from my old school.
The baseball stadium ( 体 育 场 ) in the north-east of Wilson Creek has also
changed completely. They have now added a new stand (看台) where probably a few
thousand people could sit. It looks really great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the town center. It has become a
pedestrianised area (步行区) and you can't drive there anymore. They have built a
large square and a cinema. There is also a new street café and a grassy area.
My street looks just the same as it always has been, but a public library has
appeared on the next street. There used to be a park there but they have cut down all
the trees, which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it but it's
not the same as when the park was there.
Another change is the new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A
Chinese restaurant and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town center, and a
Mexican restaurant has opened near my home, which is where I am going tonight!

Wang Huajun, a taxi driver from Hubei Province, has been on call for a special
passenger for 18 years, and he drives her anywhere she needs to go.
According to Wang, he got to know the passenger in March 2000. That day
he saw a small woman on crutches (腋杖) and a white-haired elderly woman waiting
for a taxi.
Wang stopped and helped the two into his taxi. He learned that the small woman's
name is Yang Lihua and she has had rickets (佝偻病) since she was 4 years old. That
day she was taking her mother to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Wang wouldn't receive the money they paid.
Instead, he gave Yang his phone number and told her to call him whenever she
needed help.
Wang kept his promise. For 18 years he has collected Yang or her family
members when they have the need. He also helps her with other small things.
“For us, he is a family member now,” Yang said, adding that through his kindness,
Wang has won the family's trust.
Few people knew what Wang was doing until 2008, when Yang presented him
with a silk banner (锦旗) — a traditional way to express thankfulness — at the taxi
company where he worked.
Actually, it is just one of the driver's many acts of kindness. In his 19 years of
taxi driving, he has returned money he found to his passengers 12 times, which was a
total of 350,000 yuan.
Wang is a role model to us all.

between man and dog. Humble shares with us the books that changed her life.
Winnie the Pooh
By A. A. Milne
My father used to read this book to me when I was very young. He used different
voices for all the animals. I loved the characters in the book: sad Eeyore; loyal (忠诚

along together, opening my eyes to how society (社会) really works.
Last Chance to See
By Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine
This book tells of the writers’ experiences as they travel around to find animals in
danger. Their travels are very exciting and they share a wonderful humor. The book
makes me realize that we can’t just sit back and allow animals to disappear. I read the book in my teens. At that time I hardly traveled. But the idea that we must help
protect our planet was a really inspiring (激励人心的) one to me.
Picture Palace
By Paul Theroux
I’ve always loved Theroux’s travel writing. I found this book in a second-hand
bookshop. I read the first paragraph and thought,“How does he do that?” The words
aren’t long or difficult, but from that first paragraph, his writing grabs (吸引) you. I
had an artist teacher who told me, “You’re only an artist when you’ve found your own
style (风格), not when you’re copying someone else.” And Theroux is surely an artist.

Mildred Freeman was my English teacher in the ninth grade. She was humorous
and kind, so I loved being around her. She was also a good listener. At the end of the
year, she said that she was moving to Florida, and I was sad. We gave our addresses
to each other and became pen pals. I could tell her anything, and she treated me with
respect (尊重) even though I was a teenager. In Florida, Mrs. Freeman became a
realtor (房地产经纪人) and was very busy, but she always found time to write letters
to me. She wrote interesting stories and always took my worries and problems
seriously.One summer holiday, Mrs. Freeman invited me to visit her in a letter. I missed
her very much so I accepted her offer. I spent three weeks with her in Florida, excited
to do anything from washing dishes to touring houses with her. Her love of music and
creative writing encouraged me to go on with my endeavors (努力).
Two years later she surprised me by attending (出席) my high school graduation
ceremony (毕业典礼). Later that year, when I arrived at her house I had hoped to talk
to her about my future plans, but instead she was in hospital. I went to the hospital
and was shocked to find that she was seriously ill. A month after I got back home, I
got a call that Mrs. Freeman had died.
To this day, more than 50 years later, I still remember her smile and the advice
she gave me. From time to time I reread her letters, thinking of the wonderful time we
spent together.
