About half an hour into his journey, he noticed a small strange sound coming from his front tire. By

7 a. m. he still had

70 miles ahead of him, but the noise was so loud that he knew he had no choice but to stop. Steinkamp figured there was little possibility that anyone in Wild Rose, Wisconsin ― a tiny town with a population of

725 ― could help so early in the morning. Still, he took his chance at an auto repair shop. Luckily, Steinkamp spotted Glenn Geib stocking the shelves, and he asked for help. Giving Steinkamp a quick look, Geib asked why he was so dressed up, and Steinkamp explained his dilemma. The mechanic checked the car and told Steinkamp what he'

d feared/the wheel bearing (轴承) was failing. Fixing it would take a few hours, but there was no chance the car would

12 make it that distance without repairs. I must have looked pretty stressed out at this time because Glenn then reached into his pocket, pulled out the keys to HIS vehicle and said '

Take my truck and get going,'

Steinkamp wrote in a Facebook post. The men had met just

10 minutes before and didn'

s names, but Geib insisted. Steinkamp made it to the funeral. When he came back to the garage seven hours later with a thankful heart, he stuck around to chat with Geib.

Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.

13 In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources: land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources they gain from cutting trees but they will suffer much more than we will benefit. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world'
