12.How many times have we said to ourselves. "Oh,I'll do that tomorrow." Sometimes tomorrow never comes and we find ourselves saying,"Oh,I wish I hadn't put that off(推遲)." Our family was friends with Betty for many years.Over the years,we have shared phone calls,birthday cards,and much more.Every year,Betty sent our youngest son Brandon a birthday card with Give dollars in it.She did this until he graduated from high school. One year,not long after her birthday,I called to see how she was and ask her if she did anything special for her birthday.I was surprised when Betty didn't answer the phone.Instead,her daughter Carol did.Carol told me that her mom was ill and had gone downhill(不斷惡化) fast.She was in hospice care(臨終關(guān)懷).Carol gave the phone to Betty.I talked to her and let her know that we loved her. As soon as I got off the phone,I sent a text to Brandon and let him know Betty wasn't doing well.Brandon stopped what was he doing and sent flowers to Betty. You can't imagine how proud I was of Brandon when Carol called the next day.She told me that Betty loved the flowers very much.Just a few days later,Betty died. It's never "too soon" to be kind to others.You never know when it might be "too late" instead.

Ten bookstores in Refei are doing a book-sharing program.With an app(應(yīng)用程序)on the smartphone,a reader can scan the QR code(掃描二維碼)on the back of each book to borrow or return it So far,more than 20,000 people have borrowed over 100,000 books through the app.But not everyone wants to give the borrowed books back.If readers want to buy the borrowed books,they don't need to visit the store again.They can buy the borrowed books through the app. Now the readers in Shijiazhuang,Hebei Province can also borrow books from the stores.120 convenience stores (便利店) in the city joined the program on May 27,2017.There are about 300 new books for readers to borrow.Now,it is fast and convenient for people to find a good read.
