【推荐1】In 1935, when Emma was five, her mother died. Life became difficult then. Emma, who grew up to be my mother, told me that she had always wanted a little doll for Christmas, but with three kids to raise, her father couldn’t afford one. Although life dealt Emma a bad hand, she tried her best to make up for her sad childhood through her dedication (奉献) to her own family. But I knew there was still something missing.
A few days before Christmas in 1989, one customer came to my company with her beautiful handmade dolls. I decided to get one for my five-year-old daughter, Lucy. Then I had an idea. I asked the customer to make another doll for my mother - a special one with gray hair and glasses-a grandmother doll.
A friend of mine agreed to play Santa (圣诞老人) to send the presents to our home on Christmas morning! I began to get ready for what would turn out to be one special day of my mother’s life.
“Santa” arrived on Christmas Day at the planned time. Lucy was so happy to get the present from “Santa”. When “Santa” turned to leave, he looked once more into his huge bag and brought out one more present. Then he asked where Emma was. To my mother’s big surprise, she heard her name! He handed her the present and also a message card:
| Emma, Before my trip this year, I was cleaning my room and found this package. It was supposed to be sent on December 25, 1935. I’m sorry for sending the present late. Love, Santa |
She couldn’t speak but only held the doll she had waited for fifty-four years as tears of joy ran down her face. That doll, given he “Santa”, made my mother the happiest “child” that Christmas.

【推荐3】Ellie loved visiting Grandma. She loved listening to her aunt’s jokes. She loved playing with her cousins. Most of all, Ellie loved her grandma’s chicken adobo—a special Philippine (菲律宾) dish. But this year, when Ellie arrived early to help, grandma asked her to make the dish by herself because she had to visit a sick friend.
“But I don’t know how!” Ellie said. “Don’t worry!” Grandma pulled out the ingredients and explained how to make the dish. Then she said. “See you in a few hours. Good luck!”
When the dish was cooked, Ellie tasted it, “Ugh!Too sour!” So she mixed some sugar.” Then she took another bite.“No! Too sweet!” She added a little more of this and a little more of that until it tasted good. Soon, the dinner began. “Who made this strange looking adobo?” Uncle Joe said. Ellie’s heart sank (下沉) and she ran into the house to hide. She was crying when grandma found her.
“What’s wrong?” Grandma asked. “They’re making fun of my adobo. I wanted it to be perfect like yours.” Ellie said. Grandma put an arm around Ellie’s shoulder. “Your uncles are always joking. I am sure your adobo is delicious. In Philippines, we have many kinds of adobo. Some people add milk. Some add carrots. Did you know being different is a kind of perfect?”

【推荐1】①“Class, this is John Evans,” Mrs. Parmele introduced him to us, trying to give him a warm welcome. We saw a boy in old clothes. John looked around and smiled, hoping somebody would smile back. Nobody did. He kept on smiling anyway. I held my breath as Mrs. Parmele looked around the classroom, hoping she wouldn’t notice the empty desk next to mine. She did, and pointed him at that desk. He looked over at me as he sat down, but I looked away.
②By the end of his first week, John was at the bottom of our class. I told my mother one evening at dinner, “He even doesn’t know how to count.” However, as I ate lunch with him the next day and listened to him, I realized that it was pleasant to be with him. After lunch, I decided that I would be John’s friend.
③One night, as Mother came into my bedroom, I said, “Mom, tomorrow is John’s birthday, and he’s not going to get anything. Nobody cares.” “Don’t worry,” Mom said as she kissed me goodnight. “I’m sure everything will be fine.”
④I wished John a happy birthday in the morning, and his smile showed me that he was glad I had remembered. By mid-afternoon I had almost decided that birthdays weren’t that important. Then, as Mrs. Parmele was writing on the blackboard, I heard a familiar (熟悉的) voice singing the birthday song. I looked up and saw Mother coming through the door with a tray (托盘) of cupcakes and a present in her hand. Mrs. Parmele also joined in. They put the cupcakes and the gift on John’s desk and said, “Happy birthday, John.” John stood there with his mouth open, unable to believe what was happening. While John happily shared his cupcakes with the class, taking the tray from desk to desk, I caught Mother watching me and she smiled.
⑤John Evans moved away soon, and I never heard from him again. But I always remember the happiness in a boy’s eyes, and the taste of the sweetest cupcake.

【推荐3】One day, a tired man came home from work very late and found his six-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.” the man said.
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looking up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was very angry, “If you asked for the money to buy candies or some other things, then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish（自私的）.
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour the father calmed down, and started to think: “Maybe he really wants to buy something and he really didn’t ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.
“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now,” said the man, “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you daddy!” The little boy said happily. Then he took out some coins. When his father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since（既然）you already have some?” the father shouted angrily. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
