2． In the first four weeks I spent in Africa teaching English as a volunteer, rain never fell from the sky. No one had air conditioners. Once the air cooled in the evening, people sat outside with their neighbors and waited for the heat to leave their bedrooms. Televisions were d ragged to open doorways, but people mostly talked to one another. My neighborhood was run﹣down, but I had been drawn to it for their happy and friendly relationship.
One evening, I left my room to buy some juice. When I reached a darker area, two young men stopped me and robbed me of my cell phone. After they walked away, I shouted loud enough for everyone to hear. Just leave it in the street and keep walking, "I shouted, somehow thinking that they would. The area had become less familiar, and I realized I couldn't shout at men with knives — especially in a run-down neighborhood. I slowed down and was about to turn back when some men playing soccer in the street grabbed the two robbers.
"Did these men steal from you? "One of them asked.
"They took my cell phone," I pointed. "That one has it in his pocket."
One of the men, older than the rest, took my phone out of the robbers pocket and handed it to me. When the men let them go, the two robbers ran and disappeared into the night. After knowing I was teaching at the school in the community, the older man said, "We will protect you around here since you're one of us now."

3． WeRun is a mini-app within WeChat. And there is a leaderboard among friends that allows users to see how many steps their friends walk. We can learn about a person just by knowing his step count.
Anyone who has fewer than 50 steps in one day is probably ill, or could be sad. Maybe they just want to stay in their bedrooms. Or perhaps he or she is just too lazy lo gel out of bed! It's easy to walk Up l0 a few hundred steps. So someone who lakes fewer than 500 steps a day may relax with favorite video games. Or, if it's the last day of summer vacation, they could be students who are busy finishing their homework. Another possibility is that the user is a woman who stays home instead of going out because she can't decide what to wear!
It's common to see WeRun users take between 500 and 8, 000 steps. Most students and commuters have a step count like this. Workers and salespersons are likely to take 8, 000﹣30, 000 steps per day. They need to be on the move all the lime. If it's a weekend, however, then these WeRun step counts might belong to couples who go shopping.
More than 30, 000 steps: anyone with a step count on the lop of the leader board is worth praise. Mostly they're couriers, cleaners and so on. They're the people who help us and keep our environment nice and clean.
The number of WeRun users has increased a lot. To some degree, a person's WeRun step can reflect his character. And sometimes we can infer one's job or how he or she is feeling that day from his or her step count. But if you want to know more about a person, maybe you can take a closer look next.
