Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didnt have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be. The ticket lady asked how many tickets the father wanted. He proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adults tickets, so I can take my family to the circus. ”The ticket lady told him the price. The mans wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the mans face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”The ticket lady again told him the price. The man obviously didnt have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $ 20 note from his pocket and dropped it on the ground. （We were not rich ourselves at all!）He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this”The man understood my father was helping him.

Some people use less energy bycarpooling. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases(气体) into the air. By turning off lights, the television and the computer when they arent needed, you can help a lot.Dont buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These dont pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label(标签)R are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.Buy recyclable products instead of (代替) non-recyclable ones.

In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send myself on a journey through time.
