Vincent got up at half past six in the morning. He hurriedly put on his clothes and finished the 1  prepared by Grandma. His grandparents were the only two people 2 with him. As soon as he waved goodbye to them, Vincent 3out to the small car park (停车场). Dad's car was already there.

    "Good morning, Dad. You are earlier than I expected," said Vincent. And he got into the car happily.

    "I 4  you," Dad smiled and drove off.

    "Me too. 5  can I live with Mum and you again?" asked Vincent.

    "I've told you hundreds of times. Mum will be back in two months. We will live together again then. Mum always loves her6 and she wants to take the chance to meet more clients (客户)," Dad explained, "And her boss told her that she might become the manager. Are you7  ?"

    "Not at all. Is work more important than me?" asked Vincent.

    "No, of course not. You are the most important to Mum and Dad, 8 we have to work. You will understand us when you grow up," said Dad as he 9 at the school gate.

    Vincent got out of the 10 . Dad drove off, going back to his office.

    It was a hot day. At noon I stopped at the traffic lights and saw a homeless man walking up and down in the street.

     “This will make1 smile,” I thought, and I turned my car towards a frozen yogurt shop. I grabbed a2and filled it with a couple of flavors and came to the counter to weigh it. I wanted to add some toppings but my3was not enough for that, so I asked the lady if she would have change for a $ 100 bill. She said she wasn't

    allowed to accept a bill that large. All right, I thought and4for the yogurt. As I was about to leave, she said, “Madam, don't5your children. Please add their favorite things. ” I turned to her and said, “Thanks for your6but this is not for my children.

    It's for the homeless man in the street. ” She smiled with surprise and said, “Oh! That's really sweet of you. God bless you. ” She thought for a moment, and then she said, “I think we can do7than that. ”

    She took a bigger cup, filled it nicely and covered it with colorful toppings. Then she8it to me and said, “This is from me. Please give it to the homeless man. Let's treat him nicely. ” Now it was my turn to be 9. I said, “Thanks a lot. ” And I left with a big smile on my face. On the way I said to myself, “ Angels are10, aren't they? I believe them because I saw one today!”

    When I was ten, I was crazy about candy. Whenever in our small-town 1 with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favourite candy on the shelf.

    Once I noticed a man pushing buttons on the ATM machine. He seemed to be hurriedly waiting for his cash to appear. He quickly got a pile of bills and headed out. Curiously I walked over and saw a beautiful $100 bill at the bottom of the machine.2I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear. I knew the man must have left it behind.

    I held the money in my hand, looking at the number "100" and feeling 3 than I ever had. I thought about putting the money into my pocket. No one would know, but it didn't feel4.So I told my mom what had happened. "We will look for him." she said. We rushed out and found him stepping into his car! We went over and asked if he had left money at the cash machine.

    "Let me 5" he said, pulling out his wallet and bill. "One hundred, two hundred, three...Oh!You're right," he said with surprise. "I'm 6a $100 bill."

    "Here you go," I said, smiling with pride, as if I was a detective who solved a mystery. "Thank you so much," he said. Before saying goodbye, he asked me for my name and address.

    On my way home, my7 was racing. 100 dollars. What could I have done with it? I bet I could have bought a puppy or every single candy bar or something else in town! But now 8 of that would happen. Yet I knew I had done the right thing.

    A few weeks later, I got a box with a note. I opened it to find packages of candy.

    "Dear Felice ， thank you very much for returning my $100. Your are a great girl, and I appreciate(欣赏)your 9action. I hope you enjoy this candy. Best wishes, Tom." The candy tasted sweet. Although my act wouldn't always be 10 with candy, it would make a difference to someone. And that was the sweetest part of all.

    Mike was reading in the garden when his mother came. She pointed to something and asked Mike what it was. Mike felt quite 1, but he told her it was a sparrow (麻雀) and got back into reading. Several minutes later, his mother pointed to the same sparrow and asked the same question again. Mike got a little angry but 2 answered her question. After a little while, his mother did the same thing once more. This time Mike could not 3 his anger. He shouted at her for disturbing him again and again.

    The old lady silently 4 an old diary, turned to a page and showed it to Mike. Though a little impatient, Mike began to read it.

    "Today, I was watering the flowers in the garden when little Mike pointed to a 5 on the grass and asked me what it was. I 6 at him, said it was a sparrow and kissed him.

    After a while Mike asked me again and I did the same. Pointing to the same sparrow, little Mike asked me what it was twenty times and I 7 answering his question and kissing him every time.

    Something gently touched Mike's 8. His face turned red with 9 for being so impatient to his mother and he hugged (拥抱) her tightly.

    Your parents have given you many things in their lifetime, but you may not 10 that until they are gone.
