An old gentleman who lives a few doors away from me can always be seen with a bag. He goes out by himself and picks up plastic bottles, plastic bags and pieces of paper everywhere. He does it all carefully and never complains.
The children in the nearby school are probably responsible for some of that litter. “There will come a time when they know better,” he said. “It’s just not yet. So, I’ll do it for them.”
Well, this morning I was out walking my neighbor’s dog when I saw another neighbor, a much younger man, out doing the same thing! He had his two little sons with him and they were having good fun trying to pick up the litter.
“What a good job you are doing”, I said to him. “Well, an older fellow in our street does this”, said he. “And my friend and I thought it wasn’t fair that he had to do it all the time, so now we take turns.”
Not only was he taking a turn, not only did he have a friend join in as well, but he was passing on the lesson to the next generation(一代)!
By the time I had returned the dog to my neighbor, I looked again and his children’s friends had joined in!
This man was teaching a whole group of young children to keep their own street clean. An older man had set an example for him and now he was passing it on—the next generation is doing what he did and the generation to come after that!
1.The old gentleman picks up the litter .

I teach at a college, 17 miles away from where I live. One day a few weeks ago, I drove those 17 miles to school. I exited the highway and turned onto the College Road. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then, my car broke down. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. So I took my books, and hurried down the road to the college.
I managed to arrive at the college on time. Another teacher was surprised to see me walk to school and asked, “What happened to your car?”
“My car broke down on the way, but I’m here on time.” I replied, smiling. “This is my lucky day.”
“Your car broke down, and today is your lucky day?” she was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“I live 17 miles from here,” I replied. “My car could have broke down anywhere along the highway. It didn’t. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the highway, within walking distance of here. So I’m still able to teach my class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient way.”
That teacher’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled and asked, “Why do you always seem to be so cheerful?”
“Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”
1.What does the writer do?
2.What was wrong with her car?
3.How far did she walk to the college?
