I ran into a stranger as he passed by, and I at once apologized to him. We were
both very       31    , the stranger and I. Then we went       32    our way after saying good-bye.
But at home a    33    story is told. Later that day, when I    34    supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very 35    . When I turned back, I               36    knocked her down. “Don’t be in my   37    !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart             38    . On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay          39    in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While    40    with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily       41    . Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She          42    them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a   43    , and you never saw the         44    in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt very               45    and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪下) by her   46    , “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the               47    .” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I               48    have shouted at you that way.”
She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you       49    .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”

I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was  31  the teddy bears beside her father  32  she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokémon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand.  33 , it seemed to add up to five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and kept  34  the Pokémon video games. Each time he showed one to his father, his father  35  his head, “No”.
Rather  36 , the boy gave up the video games and chose a picture book  37 . After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokémon video games. She excitedly picked up one   38  on top of the others, and raced down toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases(购买物) and  39  the girl and her father.
Then much to her  40 , the little boy and his father got in line  41  her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl  42  it back to the cashier(收银员) and said something secret to her. The cashier smiled and put the  43  under the counter(柜台). I was putting things in my bag when the little boy  44  the cashier. The cashier said, “Congratulations, you’re my hundredth customer today, and you win a(n)  45 !” and she handed the boy the Pokémon game. The boy could only stood there  46 . It was, he said,  47  what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and sweetest smile on her face I have  48  seen in my life.
I suddenly understood that the world is not  49  into the strong who care and the weak who are  50 . We must each in turn care and be cared.

My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella. He has had it   16   and he is very careful with it. It still looks as good as new. ‘That umbrella must have   17   you a great deal of money, Uncle,’ I said to him one day. ‘No,’ he replied, ‘  18  .’ ‘Was it a present?’ I asked again. ‘No,’ said he. ‘Then how did you get it?’ I asked.

   ‘Well,’ he answered, ‘it is a strange true story. About ten years ago I was walking along a quiet London street one evening   19  it suddenly rained. I had no  20   and no umbrella. No buses   21    that street and there were no taxis in sight. As I was on my way to a party I didn’t want to get   22    . So I stood in a doorway and waited for the rain to stop. By and by it grew quite    23    , there wasn’t a person around, and still it rained and rained.    24     a young man came to the place where I was standing,    25   a large umbrella over his head. As I hoped he would   26     me to walk to the next corner with him,    27   I could have got a taxi, I stepped    28    the dark doorway where I had been standing, and said,   29     , where are you going with that umbrella?

        30     by my sudden appearance, the young man    31  the umbrella which I am afraid, he had just stolen, ran away, and    32   into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and    33   my walk. I knew it would be   34   in this big city to try and discover the owner and so I’ve kept it   35 .’
