I loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it when mother sat doing letters. Looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, 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 get angry, and never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, and 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 went by 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 that she did forgive (原谅) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. It didn’t come.
It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to her.
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 that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, though she had never been able to. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside… a photo of my father and a one-paper letter. Folded (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.

D.wrote to her daughter in careful words |
A.deep understanding between the old and the young |
B.part of the sea going far in land |
C.free talks between mother and daughter |

Meng Meihui,14,from Dongying, Shandong, loved reading certain pieces of work. But she paid particular attention to her classmate’s every composition, just to find her faults.
“Everyone said she was better at writing than me. I didn’t believe it. I wanted to beat her,”Meng said. Meng was caught by the green-eyed monster-jealousy(嫉妒)
Jealousy is _____among students. Most people may feel a little bit unhappy when others are better than them. It’s natural. However, if students don’t change theirs mindset(思维方式)and deal with it well, jealousy can bring out many problems.
Su Lulu, 14, from Xiamen, Fujian, said those who are too jealous of others might lose _____easily.“Few people like those who always try to find faults in others,” Su said. “A popular student should be open-minded.”
Besides affecting students’ interpersonal(人际间的)relationships, jealousy may also limit students’ development.
Meng said that during that time, she paid too much attention to her competitor(竞争者)and_______to improve herself. “It was tiring and useless,” she said.
Luckily, Meng_____ realized the problem. She stopped her silly behavior and focused on her own progress.
Wang Xiao, a psychology(心理学)teacher at Huangshi Foreign Language School, Hubei, agreed with Meng’s practice. Wang said the best way to deal with jealousy is to turn it into motivation(动力)
“___those who are better than you and focus on yourself, ” Wang said. “It’s more important to improve yourself than to be better than others.”
Wang also suggested that students be confident about themselves. “Everyone has their advantages and disadvantages. Don’t _______your disadvantages with others’ advantages,” he said.

It was a cold winter afternoon before Christmas. My parents and I sat on the bench in Washington, D.C.’Union Station, waiting for the train. Inside the waiting hall were many people.
A boy sat nearby. His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless.
“He must be cold and hungry. Maybe I should help him,” I said to myself.
Just at that moment, a well-dressed young couple walked towards him.
“Excuse me,” the man bent down. “My wife and I bought two meal boxes but one was enough for us. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?” he handed the boy a meal box.
The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care. Suddenly he stopped. In the direction to which he looked, I saw an old man in rags-in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall.
Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood and helped the old to his seat. He took off his jacket and covered it on the old man’s shoulders, saying, “A gentleman brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating. I hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?” He placed the still-warm meal box in the old man’s hands without waiting for an answer.
“Sure, son, but if only you share that sandwich with me. It’s too much for a man at my age. ”
We were all touched. Dad went away and soon returned with cups of hot chocolate and a big pizza. Mum and dad went up to those rags, “Excuse me…”
