| The weather was perfect. We were just out for a picnic. When lunch time came, we decided to go and get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass. Susan and I headed for a hot dog stand. We watched the seller put together the hot dog. But when Susan took out her 1 , the man surprised us. "It looks a little overdone," he said, "so you don't have to pay me." We said our thanks, 2 our friends, and began to enjoy our food. But as we talked and ate, I noticed a man sitting alone nearby, in 3 clothes. I could tell that he hadn't had a bath for days. Another homeless person, I thought. We finished eating but when Susan and I went to 4 away the lunch bag, I heard a voice ask, "There isn't any 5 in that bag, is there?" It was the homeless man. 6 didn't know what to say. "No, I ate it already." "Oh, really?" was his only answer. He was obviously (明显地) very 7 . I felt bad for him, 8 I didn't know what to do. Suddenly Susan said,"I'll be right back. Please wait for me a minute." I watched curiously (好奇地) as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I 9 what she was doing. She bought a hot dog, crossed back, and gave the man the food. When she came back to us, Susan said simply, "I was just passing on the 10 that someone gave to me." That day I learned how generosity (慷慨) can go 11 than the person you give to. By giving, you 12 others how to give also. You never know what happiness a simple act of concern will bring about. | ||||

people don't break them into small enough pieces. So all we need to do is to try our best...
Have you ever watched a quitter in a boxing match-a man who just gives up and walks away? The
whole crowd boos. They throw drink bottles and bits of hot dog into the ring. They don't throw things
because he lost. They throw things because he quit. In our hearts we all believe that we should do our
best.
Eric Moussambani swam for Equatorial Guinea (赤道几内亚) at the 2000 Olympics. This was the
first time Eric had swum a 100-metre race. He swam with his head out of the water and he barely kicked
his legs. In the first lap he was really struggling (挣扎). In the second he was nearly drowning (沉没).
But Eric was fighting with everything he had.
At the turn, the large audience began to shout and with every stroke (划水) the noise got louder and
louder. Twenty meters from the finish, Eric was hardly moving but the crowd was crazy. When he finally
hit the wall, the cheering and stamping all but lifted the roof off the stadium. His time of 1 minute 52
seconds was about a minute slower than all the other competitors. Who cared? Eric Moussambani had
done his best.
When you make an honest effort, people support you. You feel happier when you do your best. Think
about what it feels like walking to school on those days when you have done all of your homework and
done it as well as you can. Don't you feel just a bit more interested about school? Why? Because you are
always happier when you make a 100 percent effort, whether it's for an essay or a basketball game.
Your teachers will tell you"Work hard!" and your parents will probably tell you "Work hard." But you
don't work hard to please your parents and teachers. The big reason you do it is for you. If you get good
marks, that's a prize. If other people notice, wonderful! But the main reason is how you feel about yourself.
Even when you do your best, it is not certain that you will succeed. You may do your best, and still
be criticized. You may do your best, and still have people laugh at you. But when you do your best, the
reward is that feeling that says, "I did everything I could."
B. the match ends earlier than expected

B. The audience was very angry when Eric lost the 100 meter race.
C. If you have done your school work, you will surely get high marks.
D. When you make an effort in a basketball game, you'll feel happier.
