One day, we were told that we would have a school trip at the end of the month. The whole class got very excited and the girls began to discuss what to wear and what to bring with them. But Danny simply told everyone he wouldn’t go.
“Don’t you like it, Danny?” our teacher Mr. Smith asked with kindness.
Danny stood up and said, “It’s too much money for me. My dad is ill in bed. My mom works in a supermarket every day. I will not ask them for money.”
“I’m very proud of you that you can understand your parents. Not every student of your age can think about this,” Mr Smith replied.
Then Mr. Smith asked us to come up with some good ideas to raise money for the trip by ourselves. We all thought it was really meaningful, and it would be a different and valuable learning experience for everyone.
That day, we knew Danny more than before, because he was not only honest but also brave. He won the respect of all of us.

What would you do if you found a snake in your house? Many people might be afraid or try to kill it. However, if you live in North Carolina in the USA,one thing you can do is to call the Snake Catchers.
The Snake Catchers are four men who love snakes, even poisonous ones. Theirnewspaper advertisement says, “Snake Catchers:free snakeremoval(除去）一Please do not kill them — Call us. ”
The Snake Catchers, who started their service in 1998, don’t charge anything for helping people. “We do this as a hobby,”explained Fred Johnson, one of the Snake Catchers. Because of their love of snakes, the Snake Catchers try to keep them alive.“One man asked us to kill a python(蟒蛇), so he could make a pair of boots from the skin. We refused, because we like snakes, and we don’t want to see them killed, ” said Fred. Some of the snakes that they catch are kept as pets;some are given to the North Carolina State University. Most, including the poisonous snakes, are set free in the wild, usually in a national park.
Fred suggests that people should treat snakes with care. “Actually snakes are very shy and gentle creatures. They only attack if they are frightened. However, you have to know how to treat a snake properly!”
