She was a single mother, raising a 5-year-old son by herself. She was often worried about her son growing without a father to care.
One day, she went away on business, leaving the child alone. She worried about the child all the way, not knowing if he had eaten. But her son always told her not to worry.
She went home after she finished her work. When she got home, the child was asleep. She was very tired. She was about to sleep when she was surprised to find an overturned (翻倒的) bowl of noodles under the quilt. She hit her sleeping son angrily, “Why are you so careless, making the quilt dirty? Who will wash it?” It was the first time that she had hit her son after her husband’s death.
“Sorry, but...” the child explained with tears in his eyes, “This is your supper, Mom.” In order to let his mother eat the dinner as soon as she got home, the child prepared two bowls of noodles: one for himself, the other for his mother. He was afraid that his mother’s noodles would get cold, so he put them under the quilt.
Hearing this, the mother hugged her son tightly without saying a word.

【推荐2】One Sunday, I decided to tidy my bookshelf up. Suddenly, a white envelope fell to the floor. I was surprised! I couldn't remember putting the envelope on my shelf. It must have been years ago!

As we all know, nobody is perfect. So if you are not the most beautiful or the smartest person, that’s OK. If you do feel there is room for improving, then try your best to make some changes. If you have tried your best but still aren’t content, ask yourself two simple questions. Firstly, are you happy with who you are? If the answer is yes, then there is nothing to worry about. If you are OK with yourself and you have done your best in everything, you should be content. Secondly, do you give yourself enough time to improve? You know improving takes time.
Self-confidence is also very important. If you’re confident, you will be OK with the way you are. However, here is some advice if you are not confident.

【推荐3】“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, hoping Mrs. Parmele wouldn’t notice the empty desk next to mine. She did, and pointed him in that direction. He looked over at me as he sat down, but I looked away.
By the end of his first week, John was at the bottom of our class’s stair. I told my mother one evening at dinner. “He hardly even knows how to count.”
As I ate lunch with him the next day and listened to him, however, I realized that it was pleasant to be with him. After lunch, I decided that I would be John’s friend.
One night, as Mother came into my bedroom, I said, “Mom, tomorrow is John’s birthday, and he’s not going to get anything. Nobody even cares.”
“Don’t worry,” Mom said as she kissed me goodnight. “I’m sure everything will be fine.”
I 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.
Moments later, Mother came through the door with a tray（托盘） of cakes. She was also taking a present in her hand.
Mrs. Parmele joined in. Mother found John looking like a rabbit in car headlights. She put the cakes and the gift on his desk and said, “Happy birthday, John.”
John kindly shared his cakes with the class, taking the tray from desk to desk.
John 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 cake.

| YES There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children. Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them. Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers. ----Kate Barker Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner, but they can’t if a child is crying and running all over the place. That’s why sometimes parents don’t like eating at home. They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids’ noise. ----Dale Levitsky |
| NO Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea. If kids were banned, many restaurants would lose business. Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids, many families would probably still not eat there. ----Nicholas Song Restaurants owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude. But that’s not true. Most children’s eating behaviors are good enough. Even though some kids do have bad manners, banning is not a right way to teach them. I think how a society treats its children is important. After all, all kids are people, too. ----Elliott Hall |
