Tom was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career
made him a depressed man, often complaining that others had been playing tricks on him. One day he told his wife he was so1with the city that he had to leave.
So his family moved to 2city. It was in the evening of aweekend when Tom and his wife were busy3up their new home
4the light suddenly went out. So they had to5work. Tom was regretful to have forgotten bringing along candles and had to wait6lin a low mood. Just then he heard slight, hesitant knocks on his door that sounded clear in the 7night.
“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Tom had no8in the new city.
And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed.9, he went reluctantly to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have10? I’m your neighbor.” “No,” answered Tom in anger and shut the door violently. “What a nuisance!” he complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down11the neighbor came to12things.” After a while, the door was knocked13. He opened it and found the same girl outside. But this time she was holding two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She14me here to give you these.” Tom was very15by what he saw. When he became fully aware, he said, “Thank you and your16. God bless you!”
At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his17in life. It
was his18and harshness(刻薄)with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was19nobody else but himself, for he had fallen for his unsympathetic20.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been2for 20 years, but the demands of my work and my boys made it possible to visit her only3.
Then I called to visit her to go out for dinner and a movie. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she had curled her4and was wearing a nice dress. My mother took my arm5she were the First Lady.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable6—nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. At last, she said,” I’11 go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I 7.
Two days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a8to do anything for her.
Later, I received a copy of a restaurant receipt from the place mother and I had dined. A(n)9note said, “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night10for me. I love you, son.”
