题目内容
【题目】 Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.
When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.
His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.
He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.
"I wish you a happy New Year." said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head.
"You are not from this country?" said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children shaking with cold, as if（好像）to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man and the other to his wife.
They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, "We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time."
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.
"I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then." He went on, "I think I can wait for my books till next New Year."
"My dear boy," said his father, "Here are some books, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-Year gift."
"I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year."
