I was sleeping soundly last night when I was awakened by someone’s groans（呻吟）.I listened , and heard it was from Sam，a student from Africa. I really wanted to go on sleeping, as I had insomnia（失眠）and had just fallen asleep, but I couldn’t because Sam groaned louder and louder，showing he was seriously ill.

At that time , Robbie，a student from China , also got up to help. We found some pills，got some water , and helped him sit up to take them, hoping this would make his pain go down a little and get over the difficult time. If only daytime would come soon, everything would become easier.

Things went contrary相反）to our wishes. Sam’s condition developed from bad to worse. We telephoned the emergency service , and in no time an ambulance stopped in front of our gate. We helped the medical（医疗）workers carry Sam to the vehicle，and then both Robbie and I got in and took Sam to the hospital.

We helped him go through many medical examinations. After all kinds of tests，we were told that the final diagnosis（诊断）was appendicitis（盲肠炎）. Luckily , Sam didn’t need an operation because we brought him to the hospital in time. He got timely treatment.

After Sam felt much better , we rushed back to prepare ourselves for the class. We were a little tired , but we had certainly done something good，something right.

I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend's house. It was just after four o'clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button (按钮) 12.

The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, halfway up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn't understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.

Then suddenly the lights went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left.

Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. "How long have you been in the lift? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven't you learned to read at your school?" He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said:
