In front of my daughter Sindu was a bowl filled with cabbage. She hated cabbage. She only sat there in silence with tears in her 1.
“Sindu, darling, why don’t you 2
Sindu wiped(擦) her 3 with the back of her hand.
“OK, Dad. I’ll eat, just a little.” Then Sindu said, “Dad, if I eat it all, will you give me 4 I want?”
“Yes, of course.”
5 she began to eat. It took her almost half an hour to finish the 6. Then she came up to me and said, “Dad, I want to have my head shaved(刮、剃)! ”
“Sindu, why don’t you 7 something else? If we see you with a clean-shaven head, we will be 8, I said.”
“But, Dad, you promised! Now, you are going back on your words.”
I had to 9 my promise, Sindu had all her hair cut off. She looked beautiful.
On Monday morning, I took her to school. Just when we 10, a boy got out of a car, and shouted, “Sindu, please wait for me!”
Guess what? The boy had 11 hair either.
“Sir, your daughter is 12!” a man got out of the car and said, “That boy is my son Harish. He has cancer(癌症). He lost his hair 13 he got ill. Sindu cut hers off so Harish felt less 14. She is a special girl.”
I stood for a while. “My little girl, you 15 me how selfless(无私的) real love is!

Once, in a small village, lived a family with eight children. Two of the children loved1very much, but the family was so poor that it was impossible to send2of them to study at the art college at the same time. After many discussions, the two boys finally3a plan. They would toss(抛) a coin. The loser would go4into the mines (煤矿) and, with his earnings(赚得的钱),5his brother studying at the college. Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, after four years, he would support the other brother studying at the 6 .
James won the toss and Jack went down into the mines. James worked with all his heart and his paintings were much7than those of most of his teachers, and by the time he 8, he was beginning to make a lot of money for his paintings.
9James returned, the family held a big dinner for his great success. Soon after the meal began, James10up from his seat to drink a toast (举杯祝酒) to his dear 11 . He said, "Jack, now you can go to the art college and your12will come true. I will take care of you. "
But Jack said13, "Brother, the four years in the mines has done too much to my hands, so it' s too 14 . Now I can' t even hold a glass. "
To show his great love and respect, James drew his brother' s hands with15towards the sky.
