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. Seeing what Mother was doing, I thought that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
My mother was a kind person, who always showed her love on me in action. However, as a little girl, I only wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. But such talks never happened. I was sad about it and often rude to her, eager to start a new life somewhere else.
When I had my own family, I came to understand mother's love. So I wrote to mother and asked if she'd forgiven my rudeness. Then, I posted the letter and waited for her answer, but it never came. I felt disappointed and slowly didn't care too much about it.
Years later, during mother's final illness, she left some things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she said in a weak voice, "is specially for Elizabeth." When I cleaned the desk---her present for me, I found a one — page letter inside, folded many times. It was the letter that I wrote years ago.
Then, tears came down, “Oh, dear mom, you've chosen the silent act to show you did forgive me and always be proud of my writing. Thank you for your silent love. I love you forever!"

5 . Roger was a thief, but he wasn’t very clever. When he was in school, he stole apples or oranges from other children. Sometimes he stole pencils or books from other children. But he always got caught.
The teacher spoke to Roger’s parents and they tried to stop him from stealing things, but Roger wouldn’t stop. He kept stealing.
When he was older, he began to steal from stores, but he was still stupid. Once, he went into a store wearing the clothes he had stolen the day before. The still had the price tags (标签) on them, and the store manager called the police. They warned him that he would go to jail if he didn’t stop stealing.

“But what if they recognize my voice?” he thought.
He decided to write his message on a piece of paper so that he wouldn’t need to speak. He found an old envelope and wrote “give me all the money” on the back of it. He got a toy gun and went to the bank. He put on his mask and his gloves and showed the note to the bank clerk. The clerk gave him all the money, and Roger ran out of the bank and went home.
Ten minutes later he heard a knock on the door. It was the police. They had come to arrest him for robbing the bank.
