I had been staring at the white walls of the video game store for about two hours since lunch. It was a very 1 day. I glanced at the table in front of the store, and my heart 2. It was the donation table for the victims of Super Typhoon Yolanda and even though I had donated what I could, I 3 felt sad whenever I saw the people on the TV suffering.

I was broken out of my thoughts when the doors got open. Customers, 4!

It was a small girl with her mother. I5 her mom. I got to know her when she was selling clothes she 6 herself at the market.

The daughter just had a7 and her mom finally had 8 money to buy a PS3 and some games.

The girl skipped to my counter. She9 her backpack and pulled out a console (操纵台盘). Her mom handed me the games.

"Can I10 this?"

"Sure, sweetie."

I11 the console and the games, and nothing was opened. According to our 12, I returned the 13 to the girl. And she ran off as 14 as her little feet could take her. The mom explained, "She wants to sell her birthday 15, so she can donate to the 16. "

She was17 to give up her favorite games and gave to those 18. That's real generosity out there.

While I was watching her 19 to the girl at the donation table, I was reminded that even though there are a lot of 20 people in the world, there are still those people just like that little girl.

Traffic jams (堵塞) are a common problem in larger cities. In some cities, traffic jams get so bad during rush hour that it is sometimes (fast) to walk than to drive. Traffic accidents are also a problem. Sadly these problems are not easy to solve. However, a traffic system (系统) being tested in several cities in Northern Europe has led to some surprising (result).

The system (call) "shared streets". It is a system that has very few traffic laws. As a result, shared street areas have no traffic lights or street signs. Although most people would expect this to cause the number of traffic jams and accidents (go) up, until now has been a great drop in both. One reason (be) that the shared streets system encourages people to be more (care). Without traffic rules, people slow down and pay more attention each other. Normal traffic systems, on the other hand, depend on signs,  people often miss or don't follow, leading to accidents. Also, the shared streets system decreases (减少) traffic jams because without fixed (固定的) parking spaces, it is easier for cars to move around (free) when there is a lot of traffic.
