21、Since the earliest times, trees have always been very useful and important to man. Even today trees continue to serve us in so many ways. Trees give us fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats and even bridges. Furniture such as tables, chairs and beds is made of wood.

It is very hot in the tropics（热带地区）all through the year. Trees protect man from the terrible heat. They can also prevent good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no trees, the land would become a desert.

There are so many desert areas in the world. People in the past had little knowledge about science of nature, they cut down the trees and never planted new ones.

People sometimes drive their cars a long way for a family reunion. Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend holiday, because most Americans do not work on Saturdays or Sundays.

23、I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten party.

I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change. It seemed that he had broken his pig bank (猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier (收银员) told him he was￥8.00 short after counting his money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the T-shirt and I will come back with more money.”

It was clear that the boy had already used all the money. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that.” I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills (纸币) and we need the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react (反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance (机会) to give anything!”

I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this.” The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I left with a good feeling. I saw the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes!”
