My now 7-year-old grandson, who lives 100 miles away, has kept my phone number in his mind since he was 4. Since then, he has been 1 me every night before he goes to bed to tell me about his day or just to say “Good night, Grandma.”
He also often calls me at other times during the day just to 2 a happy or sad moment. Many times he’s playing a basketball with one hand, or laughing with a friend about something that I 3 quite understand, or crying about something he may or may not want to talk about while I’m on the other end of the phone. I just listen and empathize (同情) or laugh with him—just share his current (当前的) 4 . I always let him control the 5 , and the time he’s on the phone with me. Many times I just listen to him play, or play games we’ve made up together that we can play over the 6 .
The only time I take control of the 7 is when he’s ready to say goodbye at night. Often there are four special 8 I say to him every night. One night I thought maybe he was tired to hear those, so I didn’t say them. He 9 called me back and told me that I forgot to say those sentences! I haven’t missed saying them since then!
My friends all know that he is the most important for me. 10 I’m in church(教堂), or some place where I really can’t take his call, I always politely excuse myself and talk to him, even if it’s just for a minute to tell him I’ll call him back in a few minutes.
He knows that he takes first place in my heart.

Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was traveling in France. Once he was going by train to Dijon. That afternoon he was very tired and wanted to sleep, so he asked the conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon. But first he explained that he was a very heavy sleeper. “I’ll probably protest(表示不满)loudly when you try to wake me up,” he said to the conductor, “but do not take any notice, just put me off the train anyway.”
Then Mark Twain went to sleep. Later, when he woke up, it was night-time and the train was in Paris already. He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He was very angry. He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him.“I have never been so angry in all my life,” Mark Twain said.
The conductor looked at him calmly. “You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off at Dijon,” he said.

A man came back home from work late, he was tired And he was surprised to find his ten-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"
"If you want to know, I make $20 an hour."
"Oh,"the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?"
The father was furious, "If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish !"
The little boy quietly went to his room and closed the door. After about an hour, the father calmed down, and started to think, "Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t ask for money very often."So he went to the little boy’s room.
"Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now," said the man. "Here’s $10."
"Oh, thank you, Daddy!"the boy said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again.
"Why do you want more money after you already have some?" the father shouted angrily.

“Today, I was quite sad, she asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said I was tired. She was unhappy. I wasn't as rich as before! We moved to the small house and it was very cold. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer. So every time I rushed to the bathroom first.
