A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street uirchin (玩童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked. 　　 Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…”He hesitated.(犹豫) 　　 Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. 　　 “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” 　　 “Oh yes, I’d love that.” 　　 After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?” 　　 Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked. 　　 He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car. 　　 “There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent(美分) And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.” 　　 Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

Is human blood all the same? "Yes," you may say. "It's all red." 　Well, it's not as simple as you might think. 　Blood is made up of different parts, such as red blood cells (细胞), white blood cells, and platelets (血小板). 　Two chemical molecules (分子) on the red blood cells make people's blood different. Scientists mark one molecule "A" and the other molecule "B". 　According to which and how many molecules are on the red cell, scientists divide blood into four types: A, B, AB and O. Your blood type will stay the same your whole life. 　Scientists have been wondering if there are some links between people's blood type and their personalities but they don't know for sure yet. 　But some say that people with the same blood type may have things in common. 　What's your blood type? Do you have family members or friends who are the same type as you? Read the following. Are you like this? 　People with type A: They look peaceful from the outside. But they ask too much of themselves that they may be very nervous inside. They get happy or sad easily. Sometimes they are shy but always very careful. They can easily win people's trust. 　People with type B: They have strong minds. Once they start a task, they don't give up easily. They'll try their best to finish it and do it well. Type B people always try to make themselves different from others. They want to do things their own way in life. 　People with type AB: They are maybe the strangest among all blood types. They can be both open and shy, noisy and quiet at the same time! They are responsible (负责的) and always ready to help others. 　People with type O: They're open and good at making friends. They always start tasks but don't always finish them. They have lots of new ideas and love to be the centre of attention. They always strongly believe in themselves.
