AIt was a winter morning without sun, the freezing cold quietly nipping at bones of the people waiting for the bus. They were all black.Suddenly, the crowd stirred （混乱）. A minibus rolled along in no hurry. Curiously, the people still stood where they were, looking at the place far away; they seemed to be expecting someone. Who were they waiting for? Did they have a partner who hadn’t come yet?Sure enough, after a figure appeared from afar, the crowd stirred once again. The figure walked hurriedly. It was a woman, a white woman. At this time, the crowd was on the point of cheering. Undoubtedly, she was the partner who the black people had been waiting for.Why? You know, in this country, the white and the black were always hostile to each other. What force made these people so close?Formerly, it was a remote way station. The bus moved to and fro every two hours. The bus drivers had the right to stop the bus only in the presence of white people, but the people who lived nearby were almost all black. It was said that the white woman was a writer who lived in a place three miles away, where there was also a station. But in order to help the black people ride the bus conveniently, she insisted on walking here to take the bus, rain or shine.The black people almost hugged the writer. “Hi, Susan,” the writer heard someone call her name. Looking up, she saw her friend Jay.“Why do you get on the bus here?” asked Jay in confusion.“Because,” the writer said, pointing to the station, “the bus doesn’t stop without white p eople, so I come here.”Surprised, Jay stared at the writer and said, “Just for these black people?”The writer also widened her eyes, “Why, isn’t it very important?”We were also surprised and then came to understand: as long as you have love in your heart, everything will be as pure as nature.1.Why did the people still stand where they were when the minibus came?A.

Even in his sickness, he found the positive in what some would see as a negative situation. He enjoyed life. He loved to travel, learning new things about different people and their culture.Roger was born and raised in Alabama, and he then moved to Buffalo, New York where he lived for many years until he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, his final resting place.Whether his travels were long visits or short visits, large cities or small towns, his favorite souvenir item was T-shirts. Everywhere he went he would buy a T-shirt to remind him of his travels. Every T-short he owned had a story behind it that he would share with others.As long as he was laughing, living and traveling, he was happy. He loved everybody he came in contact with and everybody loved him. The old saying, “He never met a stranger,” definitely applied to Roger and his life.His last few years of life were in and out of the hospital at least 10-15 days a month, sometimes more. Two weeks before he passed away, I spoke with him on the phone, and even then he managed to tell jokes about life.I know he left this world happily; he refused to allow anything or anyone to hold him down, even his severe illness. He was definitely a model to look up to when it comes to not allowing any situation to keep you from moving forward in life.I will forever miss his smile and his love for life.

So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house. In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean. You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away. When we go to see a movie, my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was the bee’s knees. Now, we admit that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not even know if bees have knees! If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important, you might say she has a bee in her bonnet. If someone asks you a personalquestion, and you would like not to tell him or her, you might say, “That is none of your beeswax.”Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. You would also not want to have ants in your pants. That is, to be restless and unable to sit still.If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do, you might ask him to leave you alone or “stop bugging me”. A friend also might tell you again and again to do something. If so, you might say he put a bug in your ear. If you were reading a book in your warm bed on a cold winter’s day, you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug（地毯）. And, if you wish someone good night, you might say, “sleep tight—don’t let the bed bugs bite.”12.
