One day,as I was preparing the fruits. A little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years ol d,and the girl.five or six. They were looking the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom(in French),"They're good!" I knew it was French.Because I can speak and understand it.Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits.At first I thought she was really l ooking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together,I was sure she was blind.Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits .The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smil ed, and the daughter woul d put them into their basket .The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before .It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age woul d be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn’t t ell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language .this is what I regret to this day.53.The women and her kids came to the market to buy .A.fruits B.vegetabl es C.candies D.toys54.According to what he saw, the writer was sure the mother couldn’t.A.speak B.see C.smell D.hear55.The writer was moved because .A.the mother was brave to face her problems.B.the kids were polite and kind to each otherC.the mother was careful in picking out thingsD.the kids were so willing to help their motherI remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades.When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted. I d escribed something like bikers wear. She listened long. I thought she und erstood for sure the kind I wanted.The next day when I got home from school, I discovered on my bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket sl owly, as if it were a stranger.From the kitchen mother shouted that my jacket was in the wardrobe(衣柜). I rushed and pull ed at the clothes in the wardrobe, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子), turning right and left. I looked ugly. I threw it on my brother's bed and l ooked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, l ooked at me for a l ong time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers l ooked my way and talked about how foolish I l ooked in my new jacket. When it was time for the whol e school to get together on the playground, ______. Although they didn't say out loud, "Man, that's ugly!" I heard their talk and even laughter.And so I went, in my jacket. So embarrassed(尴尬的), so hurt, I couldn't even do my lessons the rest of the day. I received Cs on tests.I wore that thing for three years. All in those years no love came to me.I blamed(指责)that jacket for those bad years. I blamed my mother for her bad taste and her cheap ways. It was a sad time for the heart.

Here’s what they tol d us.Getting Al ong and Having FunAbout two out of three kids said they get al ong very well with their parents. About four out of five told us they have fun with their parents. But that doesn’t mean they never disagree. In fact, most kinds reported arguing with their parents sometimes.“It’s common to disagree and argue.” says D’A rcy Lyness, a child psychol ogist (心理学家)”But it’s also important to learn how to do so respectfully” About half of the kids said they are d oing that when they disagree with their parents. They say they have a discussion calmly.But two out of five kids said arguments always involve shouting at each other. Lyness points out at shouting never helps “Speak up, and let your parents know your id eas.” She advises “But be patient. Don’t use a raised angry voice.”Not surprisingly, three out of four kids admitted(承认) to lying at times. Many said they lie to avoid getting in troubl e or disappointing their parents.

Telling the truth builds trust. “When parents can trust you, they are more likely to give you more freed om.” She says.A Changing Relationship(关系)Kids ages 12 to 14 not only said they lie more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less cl ose, and not getting along as well with their parents.According to Lyness, those feelings are not uncommon As kids grow up they have more disagreeme nts or arguments with their parents But it d oesn’t have to be that way. “Kids andparents get al ong differently at different times of the journey of life” she says As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to adapt(适应). “There’s a dance of way s that you cat with others and get along,” she points out. “Then other’s a change, and it’s a different dance.” Change is normal, she stresses.Share this story with your family.

Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.Other countries may us e other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. In China and Japan, it’s 110.

Sir,I wi sh...”He hesitated (犹豫). Of course Paul knew what the boy wanted,but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,”the boy went on, “that I coul d be a brother like that. ”Paul looked at the boy in surprise,and then he said,“Woul d you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes,I'd love to.”the boy answered.After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,“Sir,woul d you mind stopping in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show hisne ighbors that he could rid e home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two stairs are?”the boy asked.He went up to the stairs. Then in a short whil e Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast.
