A gentleman put an advertisement in a newspaper to look for a boy to work in his office. From nearly fifty persons, he chose one and refused the others.
"I should like to know," said a friend, "Why you liked that boy better. He did not have a letter or a recommendation (推荐)."
"You are wrong," said the gentleman. "He had a great many. He cleaned his feet at the door and closed the door behind him. That showed that he was careful. He gave his seat at once to that old man. That showed that he was kind and thoughtful. He took off his cap when he came in and answered my question at once. That showed that he was polite and gentlemanly."
"I threw some books on the floor and some persons went over them, but that boy picked them up and put them on the table. He waited quietly for his turn instead of pushing. When I talked to him, I found his clothes were tidy, his hair was brushed clearly and his finger nails (指甲) were clean. I think these are more important than a letter and a recommendation."
I, on, make, teach, large, control, after, try, leaf, quiet, before, without |
I still remember it was an early autumn. Some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} started to turn yellow and the weather got cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father's vest (背心) instead of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. At that time, I was getting to have a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} size than my father, so when I put on the vest, I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe! I realized that it was a small mistake which was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my mother could stop me.
Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father, "See what your son has done." Instead of saying he would scold (责备) or beat me, my father {#blank#}7{#/blank#} asked my mother to mend (修补) the vest. Later when my mother told me about this, I felt ashamed (惭愧的). My father's gentle kindness {#blank#}8{#/blank#} me a lesson which I would never forget.
On that day, I decided not to let anger {#blank#}9{#/blank#} me any more. When I'm angry, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to remember my dad's vest. It reminds me to think about others' feelings when I'm angry.
