Mike worked as a bus driver. He felt good when he helped people. And he liked driving very much. He was one of the best bus driver in the city.
One day he started his bus and drove along his usual way. A few people got on the bus. Mike took their money and gave them their tickets(车票). When Mike got to the bus stop on Elm Road, a huge man was waiting(等) for the bus. The man was tall and his strong arms were full of muscles(肌肉). He got up onto the bus. He looked at Mike and said, “I’m Big Jim. Big Jim doesn’t pay.”Then he sat at the back of the bus. Mike was surprised about this. But he wasn’t sure what to do.
The next day, Big Jim was again waiting at the Elm Road stop. Again, he got on the bus and said, “Big Jim doesn’t pay.” It happened(发生) this way for a few days. Mike thought Jim could be dangerous. What would happen if Mike tried to make him pay? Then Mike had an idea. He started going to the gym. He lifted weights. He took a class in boxing(拳击).He started running for exercise. After a few weeks, Mike became very strong.
One day, Mike drove along his usual way and he got to the bus stop on Elm Road, there was Big Jim, waiting for the bus as usual. The big man got on the bus and, as always, said, “Big Jim doesn’t pay.”
Then Mike knew what to do. He stood up and looked Big Jim in the eye. He said, “Why doesn’t Big Jim pay?”
Big Jim had a surprised look on his face. Then he reached in his pocket(衣兜), pulled out a small card, and said, “Because Big Jim has got a six-month bus pass.”

Daisy and Sheila’s Trip
The two friends, Daisy and Sheila, were on a trip in northern Australia. They loved Darwin and became very interested in Aboriginal art. They spent days in museums looking at the pictures of the spirits(精英) creating the land in the Dreamtime. They then went to see older rock art in caves in the hills. They also saw brightly colored birds and groups of kangaroos that were not scared of them, but allowed them to come quite close.
They decided (决定) to go camping in Kakadu National Park. It was October, near the end of the dry season, so there was some cloud but also a lot of hot sunshine. They walked, watched the animals, climbed up to the tops of fantastic waterfalls and looked down on the pools below. Sometimes they met other bush walkers and enjoyed talking to them about the things to see in the area. As the sun went down, they put up their tents on the bank of the river, went swimming and then cooked their dinner.
It was on the third night that, after a meal of hamburger and potatoes, Sheila went down to the pool to wash the dishes. Suddenly a huge crocodile jumped out of the water towards Sheila. She shouted as loudly as she could and Daisy came, running. Daisy jumped on the crocodile’s back and started hitting (击打) it. The crocodile turned, threw Daisy off its back and went back into the water. The girls quickly climbed up a tree by their tent and called for help on their mobile phone. About fifteen minutes later, they were very happy to see a helicopter (直升机) above in the sky. After the helicopter landed on the ground, men jumped out and came running to see if the girls were safe. They turned some big lights on the pool. They knew the crocodile would not like that and go away.
Daisy and Sheila were saved and they were happy to go and stay in a hotel for the night.
