A friend of mine named Paul received（收到） an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(頑童) was walking around the shining car. ―Is this your car, Paul? he asked. Paul answered. Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas. The boy was surprised（驚奇）. ―You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? Boy, I wish…He hesitated(猶豫).

Of course, Paul knew what he was going to wish for（希望）. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. ＂I wish, the boy went on, ― that I could be a brother like that. Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, ＂Would you like to take a ride in my car? ＂Oh yes, I’d love that.

After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, ― Paul, would you mind （介意）driving in front of my house? Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. ― Will you stop where those two steps are? the boy asked.

He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled（殘疾的） brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

＂There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent（美分）. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.

Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable（難忘的）holiday ride.

Kindergartens(幼兒園) may teach you very important things you need to know. Bob, a 5-year-old boy, saved his father’s life with the skills he learned.

Hi, I’m Abby. I’m very lucky to be here. My parents work on a large sheep farm in central Australia. During my summer vacation, I helped my parents and brother move some sheep. One day the bike I was on hit a rock (撞到一塊石頭) and (1)我摔了下來(lái)把頭撞了。Nobody saw it happen, so I quickly got back on the bike and kept working.

The next day I had a headache(頭痛), but I thought it was just because of the sun. Later I was fine. But two weeks later, I got a really bad headache. By the evening, it was worse. At first my family laughed at me and said I was pretending (假裝) to be ill. But when my mom touched me, she knew it was true.

Dad looked at my eyes and asked, ＂Did you hit your head these days?＂

＂No, ＂I replied .But then I remembered the fall.＂I fell off the bike, but that was weeks ago, ＂I told him.

＂Could it be a concussion(腦震蕩)? Let’s call the doctor, ＂said my mom.

(2)That’s the last thing I could remember.

Thank goodness for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Just an hour after my mom talked to the doctor, a plane arrived. The doctor said I was seriously ill. They put me on the plane and took me to the hospital. I had an operation(手術(shù)) in the hospital and stayed there for a week. Everyone said if it wasn’t for the Flying Doctor, I would lose my life.
