Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother. Getting around aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged man busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand,she had to leave. The man behind the stand noticed Jenny and asked, “Hey, do you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money,” she replied.
“I’ll treat you today,” said the man. He brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly.“Actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house.” Hearing the words,the man smiled, “I only gave you a bowl of noodles. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your thankfulness to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless;she remembered her mother’s familiar face.“A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days, we came up with an object that we both remembered clearly. It was my first bicycle. My mind told me I got it when I was seven, who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards alone the first time I tried!
My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle from a beautiful material that he called, “Your own car.” Of course I knew he had some magical ability, but I didn’t think he could make such an awesome object. He added the seat and the pedals (脚踏板) so that I would not have any problems. My dad recalled the bicycle was the smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was. I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material. The bicycle was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it. Honestly, I was scared to try it.
After a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about. I was finally determined to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there. The park was empty when we arrived. I had no doubt that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it. I felt sorry for other people, but I was proud to have such an capable person as my dad. We found a smooth and open space. My dad was holding the back part of the seat to make sure I didn’t fell. He promised me that I was not going to fall because he would be running right behind, holding the bicycle.

By morning, Afiq knew what he had to do. He had not slept a wink but had sat in the balcony all night thinking. He stretched his body and went back to his room. His brother Affin was still asleep.
It was Saturday and there was no school. Afiq's mother asked him to buy some groceries for her. On his way out, he glanced at his motorcycle with the broken front lamp and scratches on the side. Afiq straightened his shoulders and went to complete his purchase.
It was late morning when Afiq was free to carry out his plan. He marched down the road to Osman's house. When he arrived, Aniya appeared at the doorway and greeted him warmly. She invited him in and served him tea and some cakes. Afiq nervously asked to speak to Osman. She told him that her father was out but would be home very soon. Sure enough, the elderly man returned in ten minutes.
Afiq cleared his throat a few times and said that he had come to confess (坦白). “I'm so sorry. I was careless yesterday and knocked into your parked car,” Afiq said. Osman looked at the 17-year-old youth, surprised, “So, you are saying that you are the culprit (肇事者) who crashed into my car and then ran away?” Afiq went red. He nodded, “I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. I was too frightened.”
The elderly man smiled and said, “But you're not too frightened to confess now?”
Afiq said uncertainly, “I could not sleep last night thinking about it. I knew I had to do the right thing.”
Osman was silent for a minute before saying in a kind voice, “Do you think it a right thing to cover up for your brother?”

Kevin had been eagerly waiting for the holidays to arrive. His mother had kept on hinting that there would be a big surprise for him during the vacation.
Kevin took out his scrapbook (剪贴簿). The exams had just finished, and the summer vacation had just started. Now he was free as a bird — free to draw, paint, play basketball, and watch television ... anything he wanted to do.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, startling (使惊吓) him.
It was his pain of a cousin, Max. “Hi!” screamed Max as he jumped on Kevin’s bed. “I have come to stay here for the holidays.”
Kevin had never expected his mother’s surprise to be this bad. If this was the start of his vacation, then the next few weeks were going to be the worst experience of his life.
The next few days were horrible for Kevin.
After breakfast, Kevin decided to make a painting. Luckily, Max was not around. Kevin spread out all his art supplies and started painting some beautiful scenery. When he was doing the finishing touches, Max entered the room with a cola bottle. He slipped on some water, spilling cola all over the painting and totally ruining it.
The next day was even worse.
Everything was peaceful until the evening. It all started when Max put the dirty clothes in the washing machine. After some time, Kevin heard some strange sounds from the washing machine. He went to check and found that Max had put his best pair of shoes into the machine, along with the clothes.
One day, Kevin was looking through the newspaper when some interesting news caught his attention. He read it aloud: “The world-famous philatelist (集邮家) Dick Brown’s stamps were stolen last week from his house. Several other stamp robberies also have taken place, and police suspect that all the robberies are linked.”
This piece of news concluded by warning all stamp collectors to keep their stamps safe.

I woke up excitedly. This day was special. It was my birthday and I was sure that I was going to receive a great deal of wishes and presents this year. I got off from my bed and rushed to my bathroom to get dressed in the best possible manner. I wore the beautiful dress that I had bought especially for this day, dressed my hair and went down for breakfast.
Mom was in the kitchen. I flashed a bright smile at her, waiting for her to wish me and give me a hug. But my smile soon disappeared as my mother started rolling with laughter. I was confused. I asked her what was the matter. Controlling her laughter, she managed to answer me, which sounded something like, “Why are you dressed up like that early in the morning? Are you alight?” I wanted to burst out in anger. I wanted to tell her that I was dressed up because it was my birthday! But then I decided not to tell her myself, and I changed into a casual dress.
After a few moments, my brother and my father came for breakfast as well. I gave them both the same flashy smile, but was heartbroken instantly when neither of them wished me. I thought that maybe they are planning a surprise birthday party for me, and that was the reason none of them wished me. I felt excited as I love surprise birthday parties.
All day long, I stayed in my room so that my family could easily prepare for my party. In the evening, my mother came to me and said that she was leaving for her friend's house and if I wanted to come along as well. I knew she was trying to fool me and she only wanted me to get dressed for the party. I replied to her in affirmative(肯定的) and started dressing up. When I finished, I closed my eyes and stepped out of my room. Then I opened my eyes and…
WHAT? The house was looking exactly like it had always been! No balloons? No ribbons(丝带)? No friends? No party?

Just Like Home
When the recess (课间休息) bell rang, Priya sighed and slowly stood up. At her old school, she spent recess climbing the monkey bars and sharing secrets with her friends. Now she sat in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play without her.
As she cleared her table, Priya noticed a box of sidewalk chalk sitting on the counter by the window. Then she took her usual place at the end of the recess line.
While she and her classmates filed through the halls and out into the yard, Priya thought about how she and her mother used to draw chalk patterns on the long driveway leading up to their old apartment building. The patterns were called rangoli, and they looked like stars and roses. Priya’s mother said that the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Priya missed the early mornings she and her mother would spend drawing colourful patterns.
Priya walked over to the basketball court and sat on the hot pavement (路面). She pulled the box out of her pocket and took out a bright red piece of chalk and began drawing the rangoli patterns she loved best. She drew flowers with huge petals (花瓣) and stars with eight points.
“That’s pretty,” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Enrique, a boy in her class, was watching her. “It’s called rangoli,” she said. “They do this in India, where my parents are from.” “You know what that reminds me of?” he asked, kneeling down beside her. “The floor of my grandmother’s house in Mexico has tiles (瓷砖) that have designs like that.”
“What do you mean?” Priya asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk,” Enrique said. “I’ll show you.” Enrique sat down on the pavement and began to draw. He used green, orange, and yellow chalk to draw flowers that were more detailed than Priya’s, but still had huge, curvy (弯曲的) petals. Then he drew circles inside circles, and surrounded them with small diamonds. Priya kept drawing too.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After little William’s parents died in an accident, he lived with his grandparents Julia and Todd. Todd loved writing children’s books. William often listened to Julia read him Trees, his favorite book written by Todd. And every New Year, William and Todd would sit by the fireplace, listening to Julia read that book.
When William was 22, he got a job and moved out of his grandparents’ house. Years later, Todd died. Before long, Julia had a fall and lost legs. William moved in again to care for her. Later, Julia bought a smaller house. When the moving company was moving their things to this house, the book Trees got lost, which made them quite sad.
After moving into the new house, William began working at home to take better care of Julia. Months later, William became quite busy with his work; he often stayed in his own room, doing his work. Julia wrongly felt William had got tired of caring for her. “Dear, I know you’re thinking I’ve become a burden (负担). You can leave and live your life to the fullest,” Julia said one afternoon.
William was surprised and felt sorry for failing to spend enough time with her. When deciding to show Julia that he actually still loved her, he thought about Trees. Being a limited edition, the book had few copies. After theirs got lost, William failed to find another copy. Thankfully, he learned a woman in another city just had one. So he decided to fly to the woman’s city, begging her to give it to him.
After buying the plane ticket, he employed a woman to care for Julia. William would keep his journey a secret. The next day was New Year’s Day. He wanted to bring Julia a surprise. The next early morning, William left for the airport. When Julia woke up, she only found a stranger. The woman introduced herself.

Joan excitedly packed her bags for her upcoming trip with her family. They were going to drive from New York to Virginia to visit relatives. She could not wait. She had missed playing with her cousins and talking to her aunt and uncle.
After all of the suitcases had been loaded into the car, Joan’s dad looked to Joan and her mother. “Is everyone ready for our road trip?” They both grinned (露齿而笑) and nodded.
It was going to be quite a long journey, and within a couple of hours Joan had already begun to feel tired. She began to nod off when she noticed that the car began to veer (突然变向) to the side of the road.
Joan’s father got out and walked around the car. He scratched his head, looking confused. Then, he gave a great sigh. He poked his head through the passenger side window. “We have a flat tire,” he said to Joan’s mom.
“Use the spare tire in the trunk. Then we can replace it when we reach Virginia,” she suggested. Joan’s father looked down at his feet sheepishly (羞怯地). “I ... haven’t had the spare tire replaced since the last time we had a flat.”
Her mother seemed frustrated (沮丧), but tried to remain positive. “Maybe we can call a service,” she suggested.
But a quick glance at their cellphones told them that there was no reception in the area. Joan looked at her mother in the front seat, and her father still staring blankly (茫然地) at the flat tire outside. Both of them looked concerned.
Joan began to get worried. No other cars had passed by in a while and it seemed like they were far away from a town center.
Joan looked out the window, wondering if they would have to sleep in the car or if there was any way they could possibly find someone to help them. Would they ever make their way to Virginia? Her relatives would surely be worried about them.

Tess, an eight-year-old little girl, went to her bedroom and pulled a glass money box from its hiding place. She poured change out on the floor and counted it. The total had to be exactly perfect. Carefully placing the coins back in the box, she slipped out the back door and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store which was six blocks away.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy at that moment. Tess stamped her feet to make a noise. No response. She cleared her throat. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her box and hit the glass counter hard with it. And she did it!
“What do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen for ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my little brother,” Tess answered. “He’s really, really sick. .. and I want to buy a miracle (奇迹). His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell miracles here. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said and softened a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If this isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs,” Tess said.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He bent down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with tears welling up. “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs neurosurgery (神经外科手术). But Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.” “How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered in a quiet voice.

I was a writer, but yesterday the boss told me he decided to fire me. That was wrong, because I created many great articles for our company. I didn't want to let the news upset my children, so I invited my wife to a restaurant we often went to.
I walked into the restaurant, surprised by how empty it was. Not too long after, I saw Carrie walk in. “Where are the kids?” I asked. "At Mother's." Carrie said. "So what did you want to tell me?" she asked curiously. "Well when I tell you, you can't break down." I said. She nodded hesitantly.
“Well, ... my boss said ...he would fire me if I couldn't come up with a good story.” "What! You've been working there for 5 years since your best friend Jack left there. Although later Jack tried to invite you to work with him, you refused. You could basically run the place!” She shouted. "I know, I know.” "How can he just fire you like Jack?” She looked at me with worry in her eyes. "What about the kids? How will we pay for the house? How will we ..." I cut her words off and promised. "I'll find a new job. Any job will do as long as it pays." Suddenly a man across the diner said, "My friend is looking for a new writer ... someone that can really tell and show the story.” "Where can I find him?” I asked. "He's got a shop down the street with a big yellow sign on the top." he says. "Thank you so much!" Carrie said thankfully as we left the restaurant.
“There!” Carrie pointed to a big yellow sign reading, "The Daily Dispatch". "I've heard about this place!” I said turning to Carrie. t4This is the worst newspaper company here!” I complained. “Well I guess I should go in for an interview. A bad job is better than none." I sighed. "George, I don't want you to do something you hate." “Well at least I can make some money if I have a job." said.
