Once,there was a bus driver in a small village.His job was to take children to school in
内
his red bus.Normally,he would stop at the village center to pick up the children.Then he

Each trip usually cost 99 cents.However,one day,the bus driver made a special

The Story of a Bicycle
Last summer,my brother Leo gave me his old bicycle before he left for college.It was
covered in rust(),and the paint was old and losing its colour.I never thought I could
make it look new again,but Dad said,"Let's try,my son."
We spent two afternoons cleaning and repairing (it.I cleaned every part
carefully,while Dad fixed the brakes().I felt very tired by the time we finished.At
first,the bicycle still looked very old.However,Dad smiled and said,"Wait until we
paint it."I waited with great excitement,checking every day.
A week later,Dad brought home a can of bright blue paint.That was my favourite
colour.Then we began to paint the bicycle together.When the work was finished,it shone
under the sun and looked completely new!I felt so proud and happy.But it seemed that I
was overjoyed too early.
"Tomorrow,"Dad said,"we'll give it to Mike next door.His family does not have
enough money to buy a bicycle,and he needs one to go to school.”“What?!”I cried.
“But this is my bicycle now!We worked so hard on it.”
"Things are more meaningful when they're shared,"Dad said gently."Seeing others
happy can fill your heart,too.
The next morning,we brought the bicycle to Mike's house.We also left a note with the
words "A free gift for you!"on the bicycle.I rang the bell,and then quickly hid behind a
tree with Dad.When Mike saw the bicycle and the note,he was surprised.Then,he
jumped onto the seat and rode around happily,shouting,"Thank you,thank you!"
I didn't know who he was thanking,but I felt warm and happy.The bicycle was gone,
but I realised something important-sharing is better than keeping something for yourself.

Do you still remember the good feelings you experienced when you did something good
for someone else?Perhaps it was the satisfaction of cleaning the garden for your neighbour,
or the sense of happiness from working at a local community,or the gratification (
from donating()to a good cause.Or perhaps it was the simple joy of having helped
out a friend.One reason behind the good feelings is that it helps people get close to each
other.Science shows that helping others can make you feel good.The key is to find the way
that works for you.
Someone says,"If you want happiness for an hour,take a nap.If you want happiness
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJJAAAA
for a day,go fishing.If you want happiness for a year,have a long trip with your friends.
If you want happiness for a lifetime,help somebody."
Giving can feel great.And as we learn early,it's better to give than to receive.The
more you give,the more you get happiness.
Follow these tips:
DFind your passion.It's not how much you give.It's how much love you put into
giving.You might care about one cause more than others,and that's okay.Support the
cause that feels right for you.
2Give your time.The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver,and more
satisfying to the giver,than the gift of money.We don't all have the same amount of money,
but we all have time.
3Give to groups with clear goals.Michael Norton,a professor at Harvard Business
弥
School,says that "If we tell the donors what we can do with their money and how their
donations can help other people,they will get more happiness."
4Be active.Set aside time to serve your community.Think about your choices,and
find the cause and type of service that best match your values.

A.going fishing is a good hobby
B.helping others can bring happiness
C.taking a nap is better than travelling with friends
D.cleaning the garden is a good choice for a part-time job

)14.What can we learn from the text?
