【推荐1】A cold winter night, a girl quarreled (争吵) with her mother, then ran out of the house. When she went through a noodle shop, she suddenly felt very hungry.

The seller saw her standing there and asked, “Hey, little girl, you want to eat a bowl?”

“But... but I do not carry money...” she shyly replied to the man.

“Okay, I’ll treat you. Come in. I will cook you a bowl.”

A few minutes later, the seller brought her a bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, the girl cried.

“What is it?” he asked.

“Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” she said with tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles. But my mother, after a quarrel, she is not a good mother!”

“Girl, why did you think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were born. Why were you not grateful (感激的) and why did you hurt your mom?”

The girl was really surprised after hearing that. “Thanks, I got it.”

【推荐2】When I was small, sometimes my mom gave the family a funny special treat—she would make breakfast food for dinner.
I remember she did so one night. She had been at work all day but wanted to do something special for us all. On that evening, my mom put a plate of eggs and very burnt toast（面包）in front of my dad. I waited to see if anyone noticed. But my dad just took his toast, smiled at my mom and asked me how my day at school had been. I don’t remember what I told him that night. But I remember watching him put butter on that toast. He ate it up as usual.
After dinner, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. I’ll never forget what he said:“Honey, I love burnt toast.” Later that night, I went to kiss daddy good night. I asked him if he really liked his toast burnt. He wrapped（紧抱）me in his arms and said: “Your mommy worked very hard today. She’s really tired. And a bit of burnt toast never hurt anyone!”
Life is full of imperfect things. Nobody is perfect, either. I’m not the best at anything. I forget birthdays and other important events just like everyone else does. But I’ve learned something important from my father. Understanding is the basis(基础) of everything, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and child or just between two friends.
