After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son，
I want to thank you for teaching me a very __1__ lesson in life by the great example you __2__. When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had __3__ his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any __4__， you went over and put the __5__ $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you __6__ threw a fivecent coin onto the pavement and said__7__ like, “Some kid will really enjoy __8__ this.”
Last week，a young man __9__ me in the line at a petrol station didn't have__10__ money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector，“How much __11__ is he？” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car __12__ he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 __13__， which came to just over __14__. That is an easy mistake __15__ both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and __16__ you did that night at the caré in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so __17__ and said，“But why would you do this for me？”I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it's __18__ to give than receive”. Now when I see a fivecent coin on the __19__ and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it __20__， just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always,
Mum

1．由后文儿子所做的事可知作者受益匪浅。valuable有价值的。
2．set an example为固定词组，意为“树立榜样”。
3．由本句知，那人订了汉堡包而没有钱付。order预计。
4．作者的儿子没有丝毫犹豫便给了那人2美元。without any hesitation没有任何犹豫。
5．由文中可知，作者的儿子把他余下的2美元塞在了那人手里。extra剩余的。
6．当他们离开时，作者的儿子把5美分硬币扔在了人行道上。因为前面有给人钱这一行为，所以这次应用also(也)。
7．他儿子扔了5美分硬币之后还说了些这样的话。something like像……一样的。
8．作者的儿子说：“某个小孩如果捡到这5美分的话会很高兴的”。find指“找到(结果)”，符合题意；而accept接受；look for寻找(动作)；point at指着，均不合题意。
9．由in the line知是排成一列站着。又通过下文发生的事可知这人在作者的前面，故用ahead of(在前面的)。
10．当时，那人没带足够的钱，所以他一直盯着计量表怕加多了自己的钱不够。
11．本句指作者问那人还差多少钱？short少，符合题意。
12．那人说他本来只想加15美元钱汽油，但他看错了计量表，加了15升。由句意知，上下两句是转折关系，故用but。
13．见上题。
14．下文作者递给那人6美元，他本来想加15美元汽油，又因本句句意“刚好过……”可知，15＋6＝21(美元)，所以刚好过20美元。
15．此处as表原因。
16．what作did的宾语，特指“他儿子那晚做的”，所以不用C、D，又因which指“哪一个”，不合题意。
17．由下文那人的问话可知，此时他很惊讶。
18. 句意：给予比索取要好得多，故用better(更好)。
19．上文pavement(人行道)是暗示，指“地上有5美分硬币”。
20．作者想捡时想到了他儿子，于是就打消了这个念头。leave it there把它放在那儿，不管它。
