1 . I bumped into (撞上) a stranger as he walked by me. “Oh, excuse me,” I said. He replied with a smile and said, “Please excuse me too. I wasn’t watching out for you.” We apologized (道歉) and went our own ways…

Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over.

“Move out of the way!” I shouted.

She walked away sadly. But I didn’t feel like I had to apologize to her.

While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me, “While dealing with a stranger, you were polite, but with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers. She picked the flowers this afternoon. You’ll find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?”

I quietly went to my daughter’s bed.

“Honey,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?”

“I found them by the tree. I picked them because they’re pretty like you. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue ones.”

I tearfully replied, “Oh, my dear, I’m really sorry for what I did today. I shouldn’t have shouted at you.”

“It’s okay. I love you anyway,” she said as she kissed me on my cheek. If we can be polite to strangers, why can’t we do the same for the ones we love?

7 .

Jonathan, a turtle on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic, turned 190 years old. This makes him the world’s oldest living land animal.

In fact, Jonathan is probably older than 190. In 1882, Sir William Grey-Wilson, governor (州长) of the island, got him as a gift. At that time, Jonathan was already an adult.

Since it takes more than 50 years for a turtle to become an adult, animal experts say Jonathan must have been born before 1832. So his birthday was set on December 4th, 1832.

In 1890, Sir Grey-Wilson became the governor of this island. He took Jonathan with him to live at the governor’s home, called Plantation House. Since then, over 30 other governors have come and gone from Plantation House. But Jonathan has stayed. And now he shares his home with three other turtles.

It is hard to understand how much the world has changed in the past 190 years. Jonathan was born before the Internet, computers, TVs, radios and telephones. He was born before global (全球) warming began and before plastic (塑料) was invented.

But Jonathan’s interests do not change. He loves sleeping and eating. He likes to warm himself by sleeping in the sun. When the weather gets cold, he digs himself into grass to keep warm.

Though Jonathan is still very active, he does have some health problems. He is blind and cannot smell, so people need to feed him by hand. But he can hear well. And he eats a lot. He eats a lot of vegetables and fruits, including cabbage and carrots, as well as apples and bananas.

Scientists have even studied Jonathan to get health reasons from his eating and cells (细胞). His cells do not mutate (突变) the same way human cells do. Scientists also hope to find some secrets to fighting cancer (癌症) in humans.

She said, “Dear boy, what your father has done doesn’t mean the lack (缺少) of love for you. He needs your understanding. You’ve been a kind boy. Here’s a ribbon for you. Would you like to take this ribbon and pass it on? Let’s keep this going and find out how it affects (影响) people.”

That night the boy sat beside his father and said, “Dad, today my teacher gave me a blue ribbon for being kind and asked me to find somebody else to honor (给予荣誉). I’d like to give the ribbon to you. I want to let you know how deeply I thank you and how much you mean to me. I love you!”
