The water tap was leaking (漏水) again, and the noise was driving Cassie crazy.
Cassie looked at her watch. It was nearly nine o’clock. She climbed out of bed and stood on a chair by the shelf. Her mother’s Mr. Fix-It Book was on the top shelf. Cassie stepped down quietly. She read the book quickly until she found the page she was looking for, and then began to read carefully.
Next, Cassie opened a box in the kitchen and picked out the tools she needed — a hammer, a wrench, and several small things. It was no easy job for her to do the repair, and she tried several times. Finally, the water tap was in pieces. One by one, she carefully laid them out on the table. That way she would know how they went back. While this was going on, her cat walked over to watch what she was doing.
Cassie worked late into the night. At one point, she thought she was done. Oops! A small piece that she had forgotten still lay on the table. Slowly Cassie took the water tap apart(分开)one more time. This time she made sure everything was in place. She turned the water tap on and then off. One…two…three…She waited a full minute. There was no leak! Cassie smiled and put the tools back into the box. Then she went back into bed.
The next morning, Dad was in the kitchen when Cassie got up.
“Notice anything, Dad?” she asked.
He looked around and listened. “Hmm, something’s missing… I can’t find out what it is… Wait, it’s too quiet in here!”
“That’s right,” Cassie said. “Something is missing. I fixed the water tap. It doesn’t leak anymore.”

“That’s my girl,” Dad said, “It’s a good thing you are really like your mother.”

Two years ago my parents died in a car accident. Ever since then, my elder brother and I had to work part time to make a living. I have been working as a part-time waiter in a restaurant for six months, and now I've just got my celery.
I was walking back to school and for the noticeboard in the hall. There was a notice asking for donations for the earthquake. A girl called Amanda was reading the same notice. She came from a very wealthy family. You could see that easily from her nightclothes and gadgets.(小玩意儿)
“Aren't you going to donate?” I asked, “ people there are having a really hard time. Oh their houses have been destroyed by the earthquake. They've got nothing left, no place to live, nothing to eat or…”
“Sorry I don't have money to spend on that!” She laughed. “ I have 10 new dresses to buy. I need to get a new phone. And then I'm planning to fly to Paris for the weekend.” With these words, she walked away.
I took the money from my pocket and walked into Mrs. Tawreen’s office.
“ Excuse me, madam ,” I said. “ I don't have too much for a donation just the 300 yuan. Could I just donate this?”
Mr. Tawreen smiled, “ Wow ¥300, my dear? Well, I have to tell you that of all the donations we received from our students so far it's the largest amount. And yes you may donate right now.”
I put the note into the donation box. Maybe my brother and I would have to miss a few meals this month, that it would make a difference to the lives of those less fortunate than us.
