Joy, Samantha and Maggie were walking around the own. The weather was nice and everyone seemed happy.The girls had great fun walking and singing together.Just when everything seemed perfect, the girls heard a scream.

"That man just took my bag!"an old lady shouted hopelessly. Joy ran after the man without thinking,She used to be a professional runner,so she was fast.She caught up with the man easily.

"Hey, give that bag back!"Joy shouted. The man tried to run away,but Joy snatched(抓取)the bag away from him before he could.A police officer witnessed the whole thing.”I can take him from here," he told Joy. Joy thanked him.“ Next time, don't run after a criminal(罪犯).You may get hurt,” said the police officer.

Joy gave the bag to the old lady. The old lady was so happy and thankful. She called Joy a hero. She took out her wallet and gave Joy $ 100,but Joy refused."How can I accept your money? I just do something that I should do,"Joy said when Samantha and Maggie came later. Joy's face turned red. She didn't feel like being a hero.

On winter nights, the wind usually blows strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think about the homeless. These people have no choice but to sleep on the streets. Some of them are so poor that they have no money to buy food.

A young man in Birmingham, England, made a decision to do something about this. Every night, he puts on a Spider-Man suit (套装) and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that these people won’t go hungry. The man refuses to make his name public.

The local people call him “the Birmingham Spider-Man”. The young man hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves (应得) a helping hand.

The 25-year-old man started his night activities in 2015. Every night at 9, he buys some sandwiches. Then, he finds a quiet place and puts on his suit. After that, the “Spider-Man” starts handing his food out to people in need.

The man said, “I wear the Spider-Man suit in order to get attention.” Without the suit, few people took a second look at him when he was handing out food. When people see the “Spider Man”, however, they come over and ask what he is doing.

“The Birmingham Spider Man” has already got lots of attention. Many people have offered to give away money to him. But the young man never accepts the money. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. He said, “If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won’t be so cold any longer.”

Tilly Smith, the 11-year-old British girl, who was called as “Angel of the Beach”, saved a hundred tourists from a Thai beach hit by last year’s tsunami (海啸). She has been named Child of the Year by readers of a French children’s newspaper.

Tilly had studied tsunamis with her geography teacher shortly before flying to Thailand. She went there for a holiday with her parents and younger sister last year. As she watched the waves suddenly begin to move back, and the sea was bubbling (冒泡), she warned her mother that a tsunami was coming. Then Mrs Smith and her husband warned other holidaymakers and hotel staff. Hundreds of people were cleared from the beach. Tilly said, “It’s really good, just to know about tsunamis or any natural disasters. I’m very glad that I was able to say on the beach that a tsunami was coming. And I’m glad that they listened to me.” She had earlier said that the state of the sea, which was “bubbling” was “exactly the same as in her geography lesson”.

She is now really popular among French children. Her picture appears on the front page of Mon Quotidien, which is read by 10 to 14-year-olds.
