Our friends, however, are lost---no television!---So they don¡¯t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full ---they all come to us. They all have a good time.

I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from crime and              of a big city, and where teenagers like me        leaving to find something bigger and better.
All that changed one summer night. My friend Lisa, Martin and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa¡¯s house.       they kept handing alcohol to me I was pretty        . I asked Tyler to take me home. With some       , we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. My friend Martin was       in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Martin, who was       more drunk than me, got into his car and        towards the highway to go home. Driving on the wrong side of the road, he never saw the truck coming. The driver didn¡¯t see him       to avoid the car. They hit head on. Martin died immediately, and the driver was thrown       the truck windshield£¨µ²·ç²£Á§£©and died a week later.
Whenever I       back on that day, I can¡¯t help thinking that it was my       to drink so much that night.       things would be different. I know Martin       the choice to drink and drive that night, but a part of me will always feel       for what happened.
I may not change the world with my story, but I do hope that by       my story I can make you       that you not only have a responsibility for yourself but also for others. Don¡¯t ever think that your choices are yours       . Every choice is like a stone dropped into         water¡ªeach ripple (Á°äô) represents someone who your choice       . That¡¯s quite an influence, isn¡¯t it?

If an accident takes place, the     of which I think the local police could use, I     him up and tell him about it, though I am not in    here. I found a rule about this world is to give     getting something back, though the    often comes in an unexpected form.

My grandson, Daniel, and I have always been very close. When Daniel¡¯s father remarried after a divorce, Daniel, who was eleven, and his little sister, Kristie, came to live with us. My husband and I were more than happy to have kids in the house again.
Things were going along just fine until the diabetes (ÌÇÄò²¡) I¡¯ve lived with most of my adult life started affecting my eyes, and then more seriously, my kidneys (Éö). Then everything seemed to fall apart.
Three times a week, I had to go to the hospital to be hooked up to a dialysis machine (͸Îö»ú). I was living, but I couldn¡¯t really call it a life ¡ª it was an existence. I had no energy. I dragged myself through daily chores and slept as much as I could. My sense of humor seemed to disappear.
Daniel, seventeen by then, was really affected by the change in me. He tried as hard as he could to make me laugh, to bring back the grandma who loved to clown around (¿ªÍæÐ¦) with him. Even in my sorry state, Daniel could still bring a smile to my face.
But things were not improving. After a year on dialysis, my condition was deteriorating (¶ñ»¯) and the doctors felt that if I didn¡¯t receive a kidney transplant within six months, I would surely die. No one told Daniel this, but he knew ¡ª he said all he had to do was look after me. To top it off, as my condition worsened, there was a chance that I would become too weak to have the transplant surgery at all, and then there would be nothing they could do for me. So we started the tense and desperate wait for a kidney.
I was adamant (¼á¾öµÄ) that I didn¡¯t want a kidney from anyone I knew. I would wait until an appropriate kidney became available, or I would literally die waiting. But Daniel had other plans. The time that he took me to my dialysis appointments, he did a little secret research on his own. Then he announced his intention to me.
¡°Grandma, I¡¯m giving you one of my kidneys. I¡¯m young and I¡¯m healthy ¡­¡± He paused. He could see I wasn¡¯t at all happy with his offer. He continued, almost in whisper, ¡°And most of all, I couldn¡¯t stand it if you weren¡¯t around.¡± His face wore an expression of appeal mixed with determination. He can be as stubborn as a mule (¿) once he decides on something ¡ª but I¡¯ve been told many times that I can out-stubborn any mule!
We argued. I couldn¡¯t let him do it. We both knew that if he gave up his kidney, he would also give up his life¡¯s dream; to play football. It was all he ever talked about. And he was good, too. Daniel was co-captain and star defensive tackle (·ÀÊØ×è½Ø¶ÓÔ±) of his high school team; he expected to apply for a football scholarship and was looking forward to playing college football. He just loved the sport.
¡°How can I let you throw away the thing that means the most to you?¡± I pleaded with him.
¡°Grandma,¡± he said softly, ¡°compared to your life, football means nothing to me.¡±
After that, I couldn¡¯t argue anymore. So we agreed to see if he was a good donor (¾èÔùÕß) match, and then we¡¯d discuss it further. When the tests came back, they showed Daniel was a perfect match. That was it. I knew I wasn¡¯t going to win that argument, so we scheduled the transplant.
Both surgeries went smoothly. As soon as I came out of the anesthesia (Âé×í) , I could tell things were different. I felt great! The nurses in the intensive care unit had to keep telling me to lie back and be quiet ¡ª I wasn¡¯t supposed to be that lively! I was afraid to go to sleep, for fear I would break the spell (ħ·¨) and wake up the way I had been before. But the good feeling didn¡¯t go away, and I spent the evening joking and laughing with anyone who would listen. It was so wonderful to feel alive again.
The next day they moved me out of ICU and onto the floor where Daniel was recuperating (¸´Ô­) three doors away. His grandfather helped him walk down to see me as soon as I was moved into my room. When we saw each other, we did not know what to say. Holding hands, we just sat there and looked at each other for a long time, overwhelmed by the deep feeling of love that connected us.
Finally, he spoke, ¡°Was it worthwhile, grandma?¡±
I laughed a little ruefully (°Ã»Ú). ¡°It was for me! But was it for you?¡± I asked him.
He nodded and smiled at me. ¡°I¡¯ve got my grandma back.¡±
And I have my life back. It still amazes me. Every morning, when I wake up, I thank God ¡ªand Daniel ¡ª for this miracle. A miracle born of the purest love.

On a stormy day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat w ere being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search a football. Once they¡¯d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
¡°Everything went quiet in my head,¡± Tim recalls£¨»ØÒ䣩. ¡°I¡¯m trying to fi gure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.¡±
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. ¡°At one point, I considered turning back,¡± he says. ¡°I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.¡± After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, ¡°Take down the umbrella!¡±
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
¡°Let¡¯s aim for the pier£¨ÂëÍ·£©,¡± Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it.  Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. ¡°Can you guys swim?¡± he cried. ¡°A little bit,¡± the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys¡¯ faces.

One Sunday morning, when I was driving along a road, I saw something I couldn¡¯t believe. A little girl, who was less than two years old, was pushing her stroller (Ó¤¶ù³µ) across the road. The traffic was not heavy that morning.
I stopped my car at once and ran toward her. This little girl knew enough to run from a stranger. I tried to catch her in order that I could get her out of the road.
Suddenly her father came running down a hill across the road from where I had parked my car. He ran right to her and caught her up, saying ¡°bad girl¡± to her. I picked up the stroller and gave it to him. The father grabbed the stroller and walked toward where he came from without a word.
I went back and sat in my car for a few minutes with my son. My hands were shaking and tears were about to run out of my eyes. ¡°Do you feel cold, Mom?¡± asked my son. I just shook my head.
After this happened, I thought about how thankful I am. Even though the father didn¡¯t say ¡°Thank you¡±, I feel that I did something good. Doing something for someone else is pleasing, even when it¡¯s only a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
I didn¡¯t really ¡°save¡± her, but I feel like it was important that I happened to be there. It is sad that I was the only one who stopped. It really made me a little disappointed that no one else stopped to help.
