So she ate the cookies quickly and at the same time watched how the shameless 6 was stealing her cookies. She thought to herself, “If I wasn't such a(n) 7person, I would hit him in the eye.”

When only one cookie was8, she looked with interest and 9 what he would do. He smiled, took the 10cookie and broke it in half. She thought, “This guy is so impolite, he didn't even show any 11!”

After her flight was called, the woman12 her baggage (行李) and headed to the gate. She took her seat in the13, and started to look for her book, which was almost complete. As she reached her baggage, she gasped (喘气) with 14, as there was an unopened bag of cookies. A terrible thought crossed her mind, “If my cookie bag is here, the other one was his and he just tried to15.” She realized that she was the impolite one, but it was too late to say sorry to him.

    I really only meant it as a joke. I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.
   My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹嘘) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download the newest 1 off the Internet."Then he 2everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 3.4 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like  5, so we had to crowd(拥挤) around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 6 there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous.
   But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 7 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 8 was to give it back to him the next day. I 9  wanted to see his reaction (反应). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.
   But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 10  and almost mad. He started accusing (指责) different people of  11 his phone, but I had it in my  12  the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 13  Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They  14   got in a lot of trouble. Now I don't know what to 15 ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he'll think I stole it. If I don't tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?

    Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun 1 — to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.

    Most of the class considered turkey and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the 2 of most of her students' art. And they were. But in her class there was a different kind of boy, Douglas. He was always unhappy. When other children played together, he was likely to stand close by the teacher's side. The boy drew a hand in his picture. 3 else. Just an empty hand.

    Whose hand 4 it be? His abstract (抽象的) picture made classmates really 5. One child guessed it was the hand of the6, because they raise turkeys. Another suggested police officers, because the police 7 and care for people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went — 8 the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.

    When the children went on to other projects, she 9 at Douglas' desk, bent down, and asked him 10 hand it was. The little boy looked away and said in a low voice, "It's 11, teacher."

    The teacher recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, "12 my hand, Douglas, we'll go outside." Or, "Let me 13 you how to hold your pencil." Or, "Let's do this together." Douglas was most thankful for his teacher's hand.

    Hearing the boy's words, tears ran down the teacher's face. She brushed aside a tear and went on with her work.

    The story speaks of 14 than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship. They might not always say 15, but they'll remember the hand that reaches out.
