     I thought she had stopped on the side of the road because of mechanical problems. The real reason was so much more inspiring.

     Recently when the air turned warm and summery, I went for a drive through the local countryside. I had no destination in mind, but the sun was shining and the animals were out searching for food in the forest. What a great day!

     Suddenly, I came upon a car on the side of the road. I watched an older woman get out of her car and walk down to the ditch(沟渠). I thought she maybe  had some mechanical or physical problems. I became concerned and decided to stop my car to see if I could be of any help. First I introduced myself, and then I asked if she was all right.

     She told me that she had just stopped to pick up rubbish that some thoughtless traveler had thrown out of the window. She invited me to look inside her car and see how much trash she had already collected.

     I told her that I wrote articles for the local paper and asked her if I could use her name to report what she did. “Oh my god! no,” she said without thinking. “I’m not doing this for recognition. We live in a beautiful country, and I try to do my little part to help keep it that way.”

    So the next time you go out for a drive, be thankful that there are people out there who choose to protect the earth. And consider taking some time to keep the roadside that you pass by clean. You’ll get some exercise, fresh air and a good feeling knowing that you have done a lot to help keep our country beautiful.
