Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh 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. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched 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 merciless compared to a stranger!” 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 she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted. Why haven’t I 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.

6 . We all regard receiving presents as a pleasant experience and yet it can be one of the most embarrassing situations.
All you can do is exchange it after your friend or relative has gone home.
So you will have to tell your favourite aunt that the T-shirt does not fit. But an exchange is not always that simple because there has to be a good reason for it.
Many big stores have a much more tolerant policy towards return and see it as a gesture of good will to exchange goods without question. Stores including Marks & Spencer are well-known for their “no argument” policy on returned goods. However, shoppers should remember this is a privilege, not a right.
So if a shop refuses to exchange the goods or to offer a refund, the seller is likely to be within his legal rights unless there is something wrong with the goods.
| A．Either the thing has to be broken or unsuitable for the job it was intended to do. |
| B．It is often difficult to look pleased when you receive a gift which is useless or the wrong size. |
| C．Unfortunately, the law does not explain what it meant by “reasonable”. |
| D．You should make clear what your legal position is before returning goods to the shop. |
| E．It is unlike anything you would buy for yourself. |
| F．In that case, it is a different story. |
| G．However, you have no right to change an article purchased just because it does not ft or is not to your liking. |

On the first day in their new grade, Maria and Amna were sitting at the desk right in front of the teacher’s. It was early and no students had arrived.
Just then a fat girl, Ayesha, wearing brown glasses entered the room. She seemed very nervous. Before she could realize, she tripped over the threshold(门槛) and fell. The loud sound caught Maria’s attention.
Maria looked at her and said, “Hey, Amna, look at this elephant. Looks like she has not showered for months.” Maria started laughing loudly. Amna found it a little too rude, but she knew that if she stopped Maria from saying bad words about that girl, Maria would laugh at her as well for being too kind. So she said she would be right back and went out of the classroom. Meanwhile, Ayesha felt so embarrassed that her eyes were filled with tears.
After school, Maria went home and went straight to sleep. Lying on her bed, she fell asleep immediately. Suddenly, someone shook her. Maria opened her eyes and saw her teacher. She got up and, to her surprise, she found she was in a dark room with little light. She saw her teacher holding a piece of paper and a pencil. Her teacher said, “Maria, look at this paper, and say something mean to it.”
“You are dirty!” Maria shouted. Her teacher drew a line on the paper and said, “Say something bad again!”
“You are ugly,” Maria said. Her teacher drew another line and the same act was repeated several times until the paper was filled with lines. Then her teacher gave Maria the paper and an eraser and directed her to erase the lines. After the lines were erased, Maria gave the paper back to her teacher.
“Does it look new?” her teacher asked. “No, it’s not clean and there are still some marks left,” Maria replied.
“Exactly, this is what happens when you bully(欺负) someone. An apology cannot easily erase the marks you leave on their self-esteem(自尊),” her teacher explained.
Maria became quiet. Her teacher then disappeared.
Suddenly, her stomach and face started bloating(膨胀) and she became a very fat girl.

On realizing it was all a dream, Maria told everything to her mother.

In the spare time, Mrs Green always asked her sons, Alan and John to help their neighbor, Ms Maud, to clean her house because she was too old to do it herself. They helped Ms Maud throughout the spring.
Summer vacation just began. The two brothers planned to play tennis with friends every day, so they could make the freshman team. However, Alan’s racket (球拍) was lost, which disappointed him a lot.
As usual, Alan and John came to Ms Maud’s house to help her. They went down the block to the Ms Maud’s and got started. Before cleaning, John put boxes that were thrown around the garage (车库) floor on shelves. When John put a big box on a shelf, he found a tennis racket in the box. It was a new racket, which was exactly what Alan wanted.
“You’ve got to see this.” John took out the tennis racket and showed it to Alan.
“Whoa, where did you get that?” Alan asked. John pointed to the shelf, “It was just in the box over there.” Alan continued to say, “It is so beautiful. My tennis racket was missing. If we take it, I believe no one will ever know.” He looked at the garage door, which was closed.
But John didn’t think it’s a good idea, “Well, we do a lot of things for Ms Maud and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing. It’s a kind of payment for our hard work,” said Alan. Without hesitation (犹豫), John looked at the racket, took it from Alan’s hand and put it back in the box.
“Hello, boys.” At that time, Ms Maud walked into the garage, surprising them. “I’ve made a cake. Can you come in for a piece? I really appreciate all the things you do for me.” “Ugh... sure, Ms Maud,” said John. “Let us finish up and we’ll be right in.” Ms Maud went back to her house.

Then, John told Alan that Ms Maud always rewarded (奖励) them for helping her.
