【推荐2】On the tenth birthday, Linda accepted a gift that would shape (影响) her life. That day her father took her to the Children’s Center. He told Linda that she could choose any course that interested her if she promised to study it for one year.
Linda had many hobbies, but none lasted for more than two weeks. Her mum once encouraged her to collect stamps. That hobby lasted a week. Then her father bought some paints for her, hoping to develop her interest in becoming an artist. Those paints were still under her bed.
Linda’s eyes moved down the list of all the courses on the noticeboard. The first course to catch her eyes was “photography”. The idea of taking beautiful photos seemed great, but each student needed their own camera. It surely cost too much for her family.
Then she saw “cooking”, which sounded like something she would like to try. It was creative and could be done alone. Best of all, it was not expensive. Dad still had doubts (疑问). Linda kept her promise. She studied cooking at the Center every Saturday, and practiced making delicious meals for her family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays because they could eat the cake she made. Linda got great satisfaction from the pleasure her food brought to others.
The months turned to years but Linda’s hobby never changed again. Now Linda runs a successful restaurant. Linda feels proud to have made her own choice and still remembers the special gift she received on her tenth birthday.

【推荐3】Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother's house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.
After the first week, I noticed（注意）that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.
One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own（自己的） mother. Then it hit me-why wouldn't she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?
When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug（拥抱）. I told her she didn't need to keep it a secret（秘密）from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so touched by how selfless she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.
