【推荐2】It was a cloudy afternoon. I was walking in the park near my neighborhood. The wind was blowing hard and I knew it was about to rain. Even so, I didn’t want to go home. I had a terrible argument with my mom and ran out of the house just 10 minutes earlier.

I sat down near a lake. There were many children playing with their parents nearby. I felt a little lonely.

“Shall we play together?” A little girl came toward me with a ball in her hands. I agreed and she handed me the ball with a sweet smile.

When it began to rain, all the children at the lakeside went home with their parents. “Where are your parents?” I asked the girl.

“My mom is selling candied fruit(蜜饯)outside the park. She seldom takes care of me,” the girl explained. “I usually play alone here. It’s OK if you need to go home now. I am old enough to stay here and wait for my mom.”

“But it’s raining,” I said. “You’d better not be here alone when it’s dark.”

“It’s no problem. Mom won’t leave me alone. She is coming soon.” the girl replied. “She is my mom, even if she seldom cares for her daughter.”

A 5-year-old girl taught me to love and believe in my mom. Should I listen to her and say sorry to my mom?

In the end, I took the little girl to her mom’s vending cart(售货摊)and then ran home quickly. Opening the door, my mom was close to tears, “Where have you been? I looked for you everywhere! See how wet your coat is! Don’t come to my room even if you get a cold tonight!”

But I knew she wasn’t angry anymore. After taking a shower, I heard her shouting outside my room, “Dinner time! Come out if you feel like eating some fish balls.”

【推荐3】What could a soccer player do after stopping working as a player? Jared Veldheer started a job in a school kitchen. It was even a little surprising to himself.

Veldheer likes cooking, but he was not sure if he wanted to work in a school kitchen. But when he saw the job in the newspaper, he took it happily. His two children’s school didn’t have anyone to run their kitchen just weeks before the start of the new school year. He thought, “I’d like a job to do with my time. And I’ll be around my two children. That is a good idea to work there.”               

Veldheer is tall and strong, and doesn’t look like a usual cook. His working style（风格）is different from others. He doesn’t make usual meals like pizzas or hamburgers. He uses his interest in exercise science and nutrition（营养）to make healthy and delicious meals for the students.

To make the meals better, he asks students for ideas. Then he makes some changes（变化）. It’s not easy work, but Veldheer does his best to make the lunch special and delicious. The students love him and they are happy to taste his new food.
