My friend had mentioned that her father had a lot of children’s toys that he was looking to give away. She knew I had a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn’t otherwise have been able to .

When I met her father, he began to explain that he was once too and that he would hate to things that could be very . At first, he thought of taking everything to the Salvation Army but then he to see if anyone he knew could use them first.

When he was me around, I saw a bed, a slide(滑板), a kitchen set and many other things that made me surprised. As my eyes were wide and beginning to tear up a bit, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was him by getting rid of them.

As I was looking around, I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty because he told me to. Every time I tried to him for giving my daughter all these things, he would thank me right back and was grateful that these toys would be put to good use.

So, sometimes when we are helped by others, the others that helped us are helped as a side-effect. In the of charity, it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal, I know we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughter enjoys all these nice things!

Outside her shabby cottage, old Mrs. Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that some children lay hidden in the leaves of a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined to find out if she was really a witch.

They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much to their disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take a flight. Suddenly, the old lady’s work was interrupted by the cackling of her hen—a signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on the top of the haystack.

The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled (蹒跚) off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proof—the children were sure that only a witch could own a black cat with three legs.

There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the old lady fell.

“We have to go and help her,”whispered Amy.

“What if it is a trick?”replied Ben.

“Don’t be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already,”reasoned Meg.“Come on, Amy! Let’s go.”The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.

Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old lady’s face. She had knocked her head on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken.“Go and get Dad,”Amy yelled at her brother.“Tell him about the accident.”

The boys did not need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that Mrs. Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.

1.Why were the children hiding in the tree?

A. Because they wanted to watch Mrs. Tailor do her housework closely.

B. Because they were playing a hide-and-seek game.

C. Because they wanted to find out if the rumors about Mrs. Tailor were true.

D. Because they were pretending to be spies.

2.Mrs. Tailor stopped sweeping when __________.

A. her front steps were clean

B. she noticed the children in the tree

C. she was ready to take a flight

D. she heard the hen cackling

3.Ben did not rush into helping Mrs. Tailor because _________.

A. he thought that she could be tricking them

B. he knew that they could not have been in the tree

C. he did not see the old lady fall down

D. he was afraid of the three-legged cat

Alex is a very special boy who really likes trees. He always feels completely at home in nature and loves going camping in the forest. Alex has a little sister called Julia, who likes playing with dolls. Julia also likes being outdoors, and most of all, she loves going on trips to the snowy mountains with her parents.

One day, their parents decided to take them on holiday and let them choose between camping in the forest and going skiing in the snow. Alex quickly shouted out, “Camping in the forest!” while Julia cried, “Snow! Snow! Snow!” Julia added that the year before they had gone camping and hadn’t gone skiing.

So Alex’s mum and dad asked him, “What do you think is the fairest thing to do?” And Alex shouted, “Camping! Camping! Camping!” His parents insisted he think more about it. This made Alex a little unhappy.

Hearing this, Julia said to her brother, “Alex, we could go to the mountains to see the snow, but make sure it’s somewhere with a forest. What about that?”

The idea seemed good for Alex and he understood that he had to make compromises to get what he had wanted. And in the end, the whole family went to a spot in the mountains where there was a forest.

Since it was founded a year ago, the babysitting pool has become increasingly popular in the United States. More and more mothers have joined it and have benefited from it. What attracts them most is the idea that you pay your babysitter not in cash, but in paper cards. When you join the babysitting pool, you are given thirty cards, which are worth 30-minute babysitting time each. For each half an hour while you are gone, the babysitter gets paid one card.

There are rules regulating this service. You should not watch more than three kids at a time including your own. On big holidays, such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, the babysitter should be paid twice as much, which means two cards for every half an hour. When you leave the babysitting pool, you should return all the cards. If you are out of cards, you cannot use money instead. You should have to baby-sit for others to earn enough cards so that you will have them handy when you yourself need a babysitter.
Many mothers think highly of this service. It keeps children in constant touch with one another, and makes life easier for the mothers. Since in most cases, the babysitter is the mother who watches other kids at her own home, it is still possible for her to do her own things while the kids play with each other. In fact most mother babysitters find that their own kids are less of a monster and easier to watch when they are around other playmates. Moreover, since the babysitting pool service does not involve money, it will not be a financial loss to the family.

In the past year, the babysitting pool has helped so many mothers with their work that they all think that it is indeed a good community service worth keeping.
