On the day of the interview, I got up at 6:00 in the morning. I got to the interview place without having1. l was the 24th interviewee(应聘者) and the 22nd was a short ordinary- looking girl. I greeted her by2my head. I asked her where she graduated. She told me in a low3, "I graduated from a junior college， the only one without getting a bachelor' s degree(学士学位) among the 50 interviewees.

    After a while, a worker came in and8me a bottle of milk and a piece of bread. It was certain that they were bought by the girl. I felt9all over my heart because I hadn't imagined she would be so nice to help me- her rival(竞争对手).

Luckily, I got the job. The first day I went to work, I was10to see the girl there. She also got the job. Later I asked her why she got the job. She said11a smile, "That day when I bought you the12, an interviewer went to the toilet with papers in hands. He asked me13I could help him to copy those papers while he was in the toilet. I helped him. After I came back to him, he asked me why I took the food in hands. I told him the14. Then I got the job." At that moment, I came to know that when the girl helped me and the interviewer, she also helped15.

    Helping others will benefit yourself as well.

I live next to a school. There's a wall between my neighborhood and the school. 

One day, on my way home, an apple flew towards 1 . It just landed(掉落) in front of my feet. How lucky I was! I guessed a troublemaker(捣蛋鬼) on the other side threw 2 apple over the wall. Thinking it was a small accident, I didn't care 3 it. 

A week later, when I 4 the same place, an apple came flying again. This time it landed on the roof(屋顶) next to the wall. I was a bit angry, 5 again, I did nothing. 

Yesterday, while I was walking back home, I saw another apple. It was flying so fast! Seeing that, I was 6 than I was last time. If he kept doing this 7 action might hurt others. So I decided to teach him a lesson. 

I told my friends about it first. They advised me 8 the apple back next time. But I didn't want to do that. An eye for an eye ends up 9 the whole world blind. 

Finally I planned to call the school to find out who was the troublemaker. And I wanted all the 10 to learn from his mistakes. 

"Act your age," said Aunt Augusta sharply(严厉地). Frances had been blowing bubbles(气泡) in her bedtime milk. But it seemed that Aunt Augusta was 1 anyway.

 Frances was quiet. She felt better when Aunt Augusta had 2 visiting them and gone home.

 The next day, Frances was playing ring-around-the-rosy with her five-year-old sister, Grace. Just then Frances's friend Julie 3 . "You'd Was Frances getting better act your age," said Julie. "What will our friends 4 ?"

 The next day was Saturday. Frances wasn't feeling as excited as she 5 did about going to Grandma's house for dinner 6 Aunt Augusta was invited as well.

 When they sat down to eat, Aunt Augusta started talking about her 7 with her next-door neighbor.

"... and yesterday I came home to find his dog burying(埋葬)a 8 right in the middle of my flower bed!" she said. "Do you know what I did next?"

9 answered her question, so she answered it herself. "After the little beast left, I dug up the bone, gift-wrapped(用礼品纸包装) it, and put it in that man's mailbox."

"Oh, for heaven's sake, Augusta," said Frances's mom. "You should learn to act your age."

 At the thought of 10 Aunt Augusta being told to act her age, Frances started to laugh. Then she started to sputter(喷). The more she tried to stop, the 11 she laughed and sputtered. Finally even Aunt Augusta managed a small. 12 and murmured(低语), "I guess I should."

 Grandma chuckled(轻声笑) and said, "That's the first time I' ve heard Frances laugh all evening. I'm glad she remembers 13 to smile."

 The next afternoon Frances was playing hopscotch(跳房子游戏) with Grace when Julie came over.

"Hopscotch?" asked Julie. "You 14 play a baby game like hopscotch?"

"Yes,I do, "said Frances firmly.

 There didn't seem to be anything left for Julie to say. For a while she watched Frances and Grace hopping and giggling(咯咯笑) and playing. Then 15 she asked, "May I play, too?"
