On a cold snowy evening, a rich lady was standing by the road. She looked very worried because her 1 broke down and she had already waited for an hour. Just then a poor man named Robert came. He was on his way back (to the) 2 from the interview* of a company.

    The lady thought "Is the man going to 3 me? He looks so cold and hungry." 4 to her surprise, he stopped and said with a smile. "Can I help you, Madam?"

    After forty 5, the car was at last fixed* by Robert. The lady wanted to pay him.

    "No, that's 6, Madam, "he said. "I was just helping someone in need. If you really want to pay me back, I 7 whenever you see someone in need, you should give him a hand."

    A few minutes later, the lady saw a shabby* house by the road. She remembered Robert's words, so she stopped.

    The hostess warmly asked her 8. And the Lady could see that it was a 9 family and that they needed help. When the hostess was making tea in the kitchen, the lady 10 500 dollars on a table and went away quietly.

    Robert came home later than before, thinking how 11 their life was. His wife was pregnant and the baby would be born the next month but there was not enough money. His wife went up to him, gave him a kiss, just like what she 12 did. Robert hugged his wife, "Honey, I am so sorry. I haven't 13 the interview yet. Tomorrow I will try another company." His wife said 14, "Don't worry, dear！Everything's going to be all right. A stranger helped 15 out."

    Let's always be ready to help others because helping others is helping ourselves.

    Then I said goodbye to my new friend Brigid, whose family had 4 moved in our neighborhood in New York. I was 5 Brigid didn't ask where we were going. Nobody in America ate dandelions. I always worried that 6 would notice us picking dandelions.

    We 7 into a wild field. Hundreds of lively yellow flowers appeared everywhere. Then we stopped our car. Dad went over to cut dandelions and put them in his bag. But I just hid in the book. "8 do we cat dandelions? "I asked. "The best food in the world. "Dad answered, shaking a handful of greens. 9 we were ready to leave, we had enough dandelions. On the way home, Mum and Dad talked about hosting a dinner party for the new neighbors to try our 10 Greek food.

    The night of the party, Brigid arrived with her parents. Mum served 11 different。Greek foods. Our guests ate everything. Finally came the dandelions. "Wait!" I said to Brigid. But it was too 12. "You ate the dandelions! "I told her. We both 13, and she ate another bite. "14, "she said.

Mum was smiling at us. After dinner. Brigid and I went to the backyard and lay on the grass. The stars reminded me of dandelions in the soft field. I closed my eyes and made a 15: to be as open-minded as my family and my new friend.

    "Can I see my baby?" asked the happy new mother. Unluckily, she found her baby had been1without ears when it was in her arms.

    Time proved that the baby's2was perfect. He got on well with his classmates. But one day, he rushed home and said to his mother3tears in his eyes, "A boy, a big boy4me a freak(怪胎)."
