My name is Sam. I joined a club called Passing Help last month. Now let me tell you why I joined it.

One evening this May, on my way home my old car broke down(出故障). It was 25 miles from my home. I wanted to get a ride(搭便車), but there was no car. It was also hard to take a taxi. I decided to take a bus home. I went to a bus stop nearby.

After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman. She was kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver.

“When I reached the bus station, I got to know that the bus to your town couldn't come, so I returned here. I just can't leave you here，” she said. “Get in my car and I will take you back to your home.”

“It is a long way，” I said.

“Come on, sir，” she said, “l(fā)et's go.”

On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn't gas(汽油) in her car. An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.

When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't accept. “I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along，” she said.

A. He lost his way. B. His car broke down.

C. He was hurt in an accident. D. He couldn't reach the gas station.

C. take her to her house D. help others just as she did
