【题目】 Joe was a boy with a special ability. He could make himself cry in less than a second. In this way, he could get almost everything he wanted.

One day, Joe met Pipo. Pipo had no family and was very poor. He was asking people for some money in the street. When people offered him some money, he would do something for them in return. Joe decided to help him make some money. He took off his hat, put it face-up on the ground and started crying sadly.

In a few minutes, Joe's hat was full of money, but when Joe gave Pipo the money, Pipo declined.

“It's much more fun making an effort to get things. Maybe I haven’t got everything I want, but I've done a lot of interesting things,” said Pipo. Joe walked away sadly. He had got everything he wanted, but he’d done nothing interesting the whole day. He hadn’t even enjoyed himself by spending almost all his time crying.

That evening, Joe wanted a piece of cake for his supper. When his mum refused, he wanted to cry. But he remembered what Pipo said. So he tried to get the cake in some other ways. To the joy and surprise of his parents, Joe spent the whole evening helping his mother with the housework. In the end, there was no cake.

【题目】 Last week, I talked with a mother of a young teenager in my class. She was telling me how ______ it was for her son at school, because he was always in an old school uniform that didn’t fit him. Since her husband and she both ______ their jobs, they couldn’t afford(买得起)a new one. She told me that she was slowly trying to buy a(n) ______ shirt, then trousers, then shoes.

I knew that she didn't want to ask for help. She ______ asked for anything from me. She was just telling me the honest truth. I went to the ______ to take out some money. Then I put it into her pocket and told her to just go and ______ the uniform, and not to tell anyone I did this but her husband.

I also made it clear to her that nothing was ______ ---- no payback. “It's a gift. Take it, and I can enjoy ______, and that is all I need right now. " I told her she was doing me a favor.
