A Bowl of Noodles
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of he scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man,
“Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. Jenny thanked the man and started to gobblle (狼吞虎咽) up the delicious food...then cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was moved by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so mean and cruel!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times that she has cooked for you? Have you expressed your thanks to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

As a sixth grader, I began noticing how other kids were separating into groups. I wasn’t sure where I belonged. I found it hard to fit in.
Our teacher had assigned “secret friends” for the coming week. She wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass; then we each closed our eyes and catch one piece of paper from the glass on which was the name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend and support each other over the next five school days. By the middle of the week, everyone, including me, had turned this assignment into a competition to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. We left cards, pens and even money. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment, I walked into my classroom and noticed there was a package. I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a box of powder (胭脂). The girls sitting near me laughed at the gift I had received. To make matters worse, the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when I was in the bathroom during the break, the girls who had seen me open the powder started speaking ill of my secret friend. I quickly joined in: “How terrible”. I heard myself saying “What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift? My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.” The girls laughed at my remarks and rushed out of the bathroom. I stayed to wash my hands and let the water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said. It wasn’t normal like me to say mean things like that about someone.

6 . The friends we meet in school teach us how to share. When we grow older, our friends teach us how to take responsibility (责任). As we continue into our 40s and beyond, we learn to weather the ups and downs in life.
The people we bring into our lives as friends will show us how to forgive (原谅), laugh, and make conversation.
One of the most overlooked advantages of friendship is that it helps keep our minds and bodies strong.
Friends don’t completely cure (治愈) loneliness but they do help us during lonely times. Having a lifelong friend lets us know that some friendships won’t last forever but each one brings something special. We learn more about ourselves and how important it is to have someone, just one person, who knows and understands you.

| C．This is the key to coming out of loneliness. |

| G．That means we’re happier when we choose to spend time with happy people. |
A few weeks ago，when my mom and I were shopping，we ran into my teacher，who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair.And，right then and there，my mom said，“I know the perfect song and dance.I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t，”my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9：30 for a week.Oh，and just to be clear，it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer (演员).My parents run a small grocery store，and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um，”I said on our way home，“are you sure this is such a good idea?”
“Of course!” she said.“If we want your school’s Winter Fair to happen，people need to step up and volunteer.”
“I know volunteering is important，” I said.“But couldn’t you help out in another way instead?”
She laughed.“Don’t be silly.We’ll have great fun!”
“OK，everyone，”my teacher said at 9：28 on Monday.“We’re going to stop silent reading a little early because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair.”
“Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest hat.
“I’m super excited to be here with you!”my mom said.“I’m going to teach you a fun little songanddance number I learned a few years back，when I did some theater in college.Here goes!”
Oh，please，oh，please，I said over and over in my head，let there be a fire drill (演习) or a power outage (停电)，or anything to stop my mom for completely embarrassing herself—and me!
But obviously，my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly.She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
