We saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. That39。s why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes. When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn39。t sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their munity. The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods. The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent, Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead，we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.（1）What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey?

Orville would discover in later years that he and Wilbur39。s first interests in flight began when they were children, with powered rubberbandhelicopter toys that their father would bring home for them from trips around the country. Orville and Wilbur would build duplicates（復制品）of these toys and bounce them off the ceiling. They were just crazy about these things for the reasons that they did not yet understand. Both boys loved to solve problems that seemed difficult to others. The more difficult the problem was, the more they saw it as a challenge. Exploring the unknown was such a joy for then that Orville once said, I can remember when Wilbur and I could hardly wait for the morning to e to get at something that interested us. That39。s happiness. Putting their gift to work, the boys entered the printing business soon after high school. Orville designed and then built a printing press（印刷機）for this enterprise. At first, they did contract printing for other people, and soon one of their customers during the early 1890s was Father Milton39。s church. They also tried the newspaper business, and although their two newspapers, the West Side News and The Evening Item were considered to be of high quality, Dayton already had daily newspapers, so the Wrights soon returned to contract printing. Branching out into other areas, they also opened a bicycle business.
