题目内容
We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she's the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, "What are you doing, my dear?"
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I 'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much?"
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.

金状元绩优好卷系列答案Dash of Hope
"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we’ve spent alive on earth．Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important．
Recently I 36 about a little girl named Hope．After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by 37 , nor happenstance, that she had been named "Hope"．The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38 in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others． 39 I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had．It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special．
Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 40 a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer．However, when she found out that more than 150 42 in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted （实现） , she unselfishly used her wish to 43 that those children have their wishes granted．She also asked tW it be done 44 January 16, 2011．Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds （资金） were simply 46 ．They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish． 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 50 as well．Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged．Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 53 money to help make Hope’s dream come true．
Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well．At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the 55 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars．Her wish had been granted!
