One day, I took my daughter to the playground in the park. As soon as we got there, my daughter ran to the swing and asked for a push(推).

When I was helping my daughter, I saw another girl trying to make her own swing go high by herself. Her old grandmother was sitting on the chair nearby and smiled at me.

I gave my daughter one big push and then walked to the little girl. I asked if she wanted me to give her a push. She smiled and said “Yes”. For the next two hours, I pushed the swings, and played with my daughter and the little girl. When we went home, I was very tired. But my heart was flying much higher than the swings.

One day two years later, I was a little tired after working for eight hours. But I needed to pick up my daughter before going home. While I was waiting outside the school gate, a little girl came over and smiled sweetly at me. She was the girl I helped in the park. She gave me a big hug(拥抱) before catching her school bus. As I watched her running away, I didn’t feel tired any more.

In life, the love we give others will find its way back to us! The love we share, the kindness we give, and the happiness we create(创造) will always come back to us with a pleasant surprise.

【推荐2】One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn,they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out .A while later they indeed saw mice running       out,one after another.They everyone thought that all the mice had escaped.But just as they began to clean up,they saw two mice squeezing at the mouse of the hole. With some efforts,the mice finally go out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did no run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that was trying to bite the tail of the other.

Everyone was puzzled,so they stepped nearer to take a look.They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape. After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the mice. One serious American official said, "l think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”The others thought for a while and said, "That was why!”

A smart French said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense. A Japanese said,"I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son. " Once again the others thought for a while and felt it was more reasonable.So they expressed agreement another time.

【推荐1】I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “but the desk,” she said again. “is for Elizabeth.”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.

As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace; it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone. She was not.

Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-paper letter (折叠) and refolded many times.

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

1. The writer began to love her mother’s desk ________.

A．after Mother died	B．before she became a writer

【推荐2】One day a teacher entered the classroom and gave the students a surprise test. He gave out the papers and asked his students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot (黑点) in the center of the page.

The teacher saw the expression on everyone’s face and said, “I want you to write what you see there.” The confused students got started on the hard task. At the end of the class, the teacher took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them. All of them described the black dot and tried to explain where it was on the paper.

After all had been read, the classroom was quiet. The teacher began to explain, “I am not going to grade you according to this. I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot. The same happens in our lives. We have a white paper to enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is a gift filled with love and care. We always have reasons to celebrate — friends that help us or jobs that support our lives.

“However, we keep focusing only on the dark spots, the health problems, the lack of money or the bad relationship with a family member. The dark spots are really annoying, but they are very small. Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life. Enjoy each moment that life gives you. Be happy and live a positive life!”
