    People once went hungry．A rich man who made bread and cakes sent for twenty of the1. children in the town，and told them to take a loaf（条）of bread from a 2every day till the hard days passed．

    The hungry children came together3 ， and argued for the bread，because each wished to have the largest one．Finally they went away without even thanking the good gentleman．

    But Gretchen，a poorly﹣dressed little girl，did not argue or 4with the rest，but remained standing quietly far away from them．5the bad﹣mannered girls left，she took the smallest bread，which alone was left in the basket，kissed the gentleman's hand，and went home．

    The next day the children were as bad﹣mannered as before，and poor，shy Gretchen 6loaf hardly the size of the one she got the first day．When she came home，her mother cut the loaf open．Many new shining pieces of 7fell out of it．

    Her mother was very surprised and worried，and said，"Take the money back to the good gentleman at once，for it must have got into the dough（生面团）8mistake．Be quick，Gretchen!Be quick!"

    But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's 9 ， he said，"No，no，my child，it was no mistake．I had the silver pieces put into the smallest loaf to give you．Always be as satisfied，quiet，and 10as you now are．Go home now，and tell your mother that money is your own．"

    “You'll have to 1our baby today,” a woman tells her husband. “I'm not feeling2today.” Don't worry, dear. I'll be very3 to do so, then you can stay in bed and have a good rest.” Her husband says.” Thank you. I'll have a quiet day and I will get4soon.” His wife tells him.

    “Do I need to do the 5 for you too?” her husband asks.

    The wife is very pleased and says, “That will help me 6 I'll give you a list of things to buy.”

    She writes out the list and 7it to her husband.

    “You can get all of the things at the 8” she says. “You can put our baby in the shopping cart, then you will not have to leave him 9”

    The man takes the baby10the supermarket and puts him in the shopping cart 11the rows （排）of the things to buy and looks for those things on the list.

    12everything goes well, but the baby begins to cry. Then he begins to scream（尖叫）. And scream! Scream!

    “Keep calm（保持镇定）, George,” the man says. “Don't get angry. Don't 13, George. Don't lose your temper（脾气）, George.”

    A woman in the supermarket hears 14 the man says. She walks up to him. “I think you are15 You are so patient（耐心） with your little George.” She says to him.

    “Madam, I'm George. He's Edward.” the man says.

    One day, the students of Class 6 were reading in the classroom. Mrs. Brown came in and told the whole class they would have to change the1the next week. All of the students disagreed2Mrs. Brown, so they shouted when Mrs. Brown said it was because a new student would3 the class.“Why must we move to another classroom just because someone new is coming?” One of them asked 4. Mrs. Brown stood there without saying anything. After a few minutes, she told them to be5to their new classmate and then she left.

    The following week, the head teacher, Mr. White himself brought the new student to their class.6he pushed the new student to the class because the student was in a wheelchair（轮椅）. Mr. White introduced the new student Jeff to the class. He said that Jeff now was a7 of the class and they should work together. He added, “Helping each other is very important.”8could fully understand what. Mr. White meant at first.

    Over time, they began to understand the reason. Jeff was a9student and often helped the students who didn't understand their work. The c lass felt very thankful to him. They took care of him because they knew that when someone did something for you, you should do something10in return.

Celebrate the Good Days

    It was in April of what seemed to be a great year. I was in fourth grade with the greatest teacher, Miss De Rosear -- the coolest teacher. I had just come home from school to find Mum at home. That was1because she never arrived home before me. Mum was sitting on the sofa with Dad. A thousand terrible things started flashing through my mind. What if Grandma had passed away? I did not have the 2to say goodbye. What if my brother was hurt? As I crawled(爬) up on the sofa next to Mum, she gave me a kiss and a huge smile, so I3and went on with my normal after-school activities. During the TV show that I always watched after school, Mum started getting phone calls. The calls continued for the rest of the night. Each time the4 rang, Mum rushed to her room.  I then knew that something bad had happened.

    When Mum came back, I asked, "Mum, why do you keep on5the room every time you get a phone call?

    She turned to my sister and me and said, "Girls, I have something to tell you. I have cancer(癌症). "

    As she said that I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I was thinking, "Why is God taking my mum from me so soon? What have I done?" I didn't know that we were just beginning a very long, 6 journey.

    The next day on the bus I turned to my friend, Kate. "My mum... "That was all I could say before I started crying. Kate gave me a big hug and said 7, "I know, and I'm here for you." I knew that Kate would support me.

    During the summer, Mum stayed home. On the good days, sister and I talked about what we were going to do next day, week, month, or year with 8. We never talked about losing her.

    We got9from many different people. When school started again, Mum had to have surgery(手术). I stayed with one of my teachers, Mrs. Stephens. Mrs Stephens made me rainbow French toast. She was always there for me with a smile, a hug, or --it will be okay advice.

    On April 5, my morn became a five-year survivor (幸存者). When that day came, we had a big party. Friends came from far and wide to celebrate how10Mum is and her success against cancer!

    There will be good days and bad days--some more bad than good. But as I have learned from my mother, celebrate the good days!
