When I was 14, I left school with learning disabilities and decided to surf the biggest waves in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii. One morning, I met an old man, a bum(流浪汉), on the street comer. He asked me if I was running away from home. I told him, “Not exactly, sir. ”
After talking a while, he told me that he had something to show me and share with me. We walked several blocks until we came upon the downtown Public Library.
The bum asked me to sit down and wait a moment. Later he returned with some books, and then said, “I want to teach you two things. Number one is never to judge a book by its cover, for a cover fools you. I'll bet you think I'm a bum, don't you?”
I said, “I guess so, sir.”
“Well, young man, I've got a little surprise for you. I am one of the wealthiest(富有的)men in the world. But a year ago, when my wife passed away, I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it would be like to live like a bum on the streets. For the past year I have been going from city to city doing just that. Number two is to learn how to read, for there is only one thing that people can't take away from you, and that is your wisdom(智慧). ”At that moment, he gave me the books he'd pulled from the shelves. His parting request(请求)was for me to never forget what he taught me. I have remembered until today.

Little George lived in a poor village. One summer day George's mother sent him to the field to pick up some dried wood for the fire.

George worked very hard. By the time the sun was high, he was very hot and wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some shade, and by it were some fine, wild strawberries. "How good these will be with my bread and butter," thought George. He picked up all of the strawberries. As he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother, alone in her dark, cold room in the village.

With this in mind, he put the strawberry back. "Shall I save them for her?" he asked himself.

He thought how refreshing they would be for her, yet was still looking at them with a longing eye.

"I will eat half, and take the other half to her," he said. He divided them into two heaps(堆), but each heap looked so small. He put them together again.

"I will only eat one," he thought.

But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back.

When the sun was beginning to sink, George set out for home. How happy he felt that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother.

He heard his mother's faint voice calling him, "Is that you, George? I am glad you have come back. I am thirsty, and I want some water."

George ran to her and joyfully offered his wild strawberries.

"And you kept them for me, didn't you?" said she, laying her hand softly on his head, with tears in her eyes.

Could the eating of the strawberries have given George half the happiness he felt at this moment?

There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole(洞)in a wall. He thought he was a smart and careful animal. 

One day, the young mouse woke up(唤醒)from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a nice 1 came to him. " Cheese" the mouse said happily to himself, "I'll go and 2 it now and have it for breakfast."

But then he remembered his parents 3 . His parents were very wise mice and often said to 4 son, "Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese."

So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet " Miaow" and he knew the cat was there. So he stayed in the hole and said to himself, "I'm happy I 5 my parents` advice and learned to wait."

The next day, he 6 again. At the same time, he put his nose out of the hole slowly, and the same smell came again. This time he could see the cheese! It was only a few centimeters away, 7 be sat still and waited in his hole It's 8 that he did not hear any cat noises. Instead he heard a very quiet "Woof, woof ", a sound just like from a dog. 

"Oh, it's a dog!" he thought, "If the dog is there, the cat won't be there. I expect the dog has chased(追赶)the cat away. So I am 9 ." The mouse ran out of the hole and started eating the cheese. He did not see the cat, which caught him and ate him later. When the cat finished her meal," she said to herself, "I'm glad I listened to my parents and leaned a second 10 . Sometimes, it can really make a difference."
