But she is still 2 her daughter. She has been to every corner of the city. Everywhere she goes, she3 a big photo of herself on the wall. At the lower part of the photo she writes, “I still love you…,4 home!”

    One day, the daughter saw one of the photos. The face was familiar. “Is that my mother?” She moved closer and read the 5: I still love you… She cried. When she got home, it was early morning.

    There was once a boy who would never get dressed when his parents told him to. He1 to dress in a much stranger manner, but above all, he liked to take his time. His parents were 2 in a hurry, and wanted him to be a lot quicker,3the boy didn't like this, and he would slow down even more.

    One day, his parents were in their usual hurry, and they got so4when he refused to dress, that they told him that he would have to go out naked (赤裸的). The5didn't mind (介意) this at all. So they went out.

    While the boy was standing naked outside his house, waiting for his parents to6the car, the local pig farmer came along. The pig farmer was hard of hearing and had poor eyesight. Not only that, but he'd also forgotten to put his7on that day. When he saw the little boy's pink skin, he thought it was one of his pigs. With a bit of shouting and pushing, the farmer8to get the boy safely back to a pigsty. He was there for the whole day, living 9the pigs and sharing their food and home.

    Finally, though, his parents found him. The boy had had such a10day that never again did he want to be mistaken for anything except a human being. Nowadays he's the first to get dressed, and look perfectly neat and tidy.

    Mickey was a nice, cheerful and optimistic （乐观的）boy. No one could remember ever having seen him angry; he didn't mind  1  people said to him. Even his teachers2his good character. Everyone thought that Mickey must have a special3.

    One afternoon, Mickey invited his favorite teacher, Mr Anthony, to tea. When they had finished, Mickey showed Mr Anthony4the house. When he opened his bedroom door, the teacher got 5 and a big smile appeared on his face. The huge far wall was a collage （抽象拼贴画）of thousands of colors and shapes!

    "Some people at school think I never think6of anyone.Mickey started to explain," they believe nothing troubles me,7that's not true. I'm just like anyone else. I used to get8than all the other kids. But years ago, with the help of my parents, I started a small collage. I could use9material and color for it."

    The teacher looked closely at the wall. In each one of the small pieces he could10, in tiny letters, "fool", "11" and a thousand other negative （消极的）things.

    "This is how I started12all my bad times into a chance to make a new piece for my work of art. Now I like the collage13much that each time someone makes me angry, I couldn't be happier."

    That day they14many things, but the teacher never forgot that an ordinary boy's secret to be happy is to change the bad times into a15to smile. How special the secret is!

    Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a police officer saw a car driving along at 22 miles per hour.

    He thought to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a 1!" So he turned on his lights and pulled the driver over.

    Getting closer to the car, he noticed that there were 2 old ladies, two in the front seat and three in the back wide eyed and pale faced.

    The driver, who knew 3 about what happened, said to him, "Officer, I don't understand. I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the 4?"

    "Ma'am," the officer replied, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving 5 than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers. The same as a speeder."

    "No, sir. I was doing the speed limit—exactly twenty-two miles an hour!'' The old woman said in a 6 voice. The officer, almost unable to control his chuckle, explained to her that "22" was the route 7, not the speed limit.

    A bit embarrassed, the woman smiled widely and thanked the officer for 8 her misunderstanding.

    "But 9 I let you go, ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem to be 10 badly and they haven't made a single sound this whole time," the officer asked.

    "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute. We just got off Route 119."
