When I was a little child, my mom sometimes liked to make breakfast food for dinner. And I remember one night she made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.

    That evening, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and burned cookies in front of my dad. I remembered waiting to see if anyone would say anything. Yet all my dad did was to reach for his cookie, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him eat every bite of that cookie!

    When I got up from the table that evening, I remembered hearing my mom say sorry to my dad for burning the cookies. And I'll never forget what he said, "Dear, I love burned cookies."

    Later that night, I went to kiss Dad goodnight, and I asked him if he did really like his burned cookies. He kissed me and said, "Your mom had a hard day at work today, and she's very tired.  Besides, a little burned cookie never hurt anyone!"

    Life is full of imperfect(完美)things and imperfect people. We need to learn to accept each other's faults and differences.

The Car in the Future

Ellison，the owner of a bar （酒吧），got a phone call from a lady，but the1 her husband bought her.

Ellison spent hours watching2 .Then he noticed a boy had done this wrong thing.Ellison3 a notice on his bar's website： "I just want to ask if anyone knows4 the boy is."

Within hours，Ellison received a message.It was from 16﹣year﹣old Chris.He told Ellison that he had taken the wallet because he had5 for two days.He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake （假的），so he took the money and threw the wallet into the 6 .Then he bought a sandwich.

Ellison was unsure whether he believed Chris and told the boy to meet him at the port （港口）.There，they started 7 .Chris said that he wasn't getting along with his family and had been8 in the woods for a week.Ellison，a father of two，watched Chris9 a small body and a red face and saw him for what he was：more a kid than a criminal.

But because the police were already on the case，Chris10 be put into prison （监狱）.If the ring could be found and returned to the owner，she might drop the charges （起诉），the ring was 11 under the sea.

When Ellison called the owner of the wallet，she burst into tears.After hearing the whole story，12 decided to drop the charges and permit （允许） the boy to have the ＄200.

Ellison had been13 about Chris living in the cold woods，so he gave Chris a place to live for a while in his house.He also gave the boy a job at his14 . "Most people would have given the video to the police，15 he chose to help me，" Chris said， "I say thank you' to him every day."

Once upon a time, there was an old man who usually went to the seaside to do his writing. He had a habit of walking {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the beach before he began his writing.

One day, he saw a figure(身影) moving like {#blank#}2{#/blank#} dance r while walking along the seaside. He smiled to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( he) and thought maybe he could see a dance here. And so, he walked faster.

As he got {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( close), he noticed that it was a young woman. She was not dancing at all. Instead, she bent down(弯腰) to pick up something and then she {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( throw) it into the sea.

So the old man called out," Good morning! May I ask {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you are doing?"

The young woman paused, looked up, and answered," I am throwing starfish into the sea."

"{#blank#}7{#/blank#} really surprised me a lot. Why are you throwing starfish into the sea?" asked the old man.

To this, the young woman {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( reply)," The sun is up and the tide is going out. IfI don't throw them in, they' ll die."

Upon hearing this, the old man said," But there are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( mile) of beach and there are starfish all along every mile. You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the woman picked up another {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( one) and put it into the sea. As it met the water, she said," It made a difference to that one."
