On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking back home from a pizza store. We had bought many things. We were dressed  26 , and I was feeling a little  27   as I was carrying our shopping, so I decided to throw something away. I was walking towards a dustbin（垃圾箱）  28   I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of us. He headed over to the nearby dustbin and started looking through it. I suddenly felt very   29   because I was about to throw away a new drink just because it was too heavy. I walked up to him and handed the  30   and some bread over to him. The man looked up  31   and took what I gave him. A huge smile   32   on his face. I felt I couldn’t be happier with33  . But then he said, “Wow, this is my son’s lucky day!” With that, he thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I   34   heard him singing as he rode away. I got a warm 35   inside. I now understand what it   36   by the saying “Giving is getting”.

    37   it was only a little action, I got and learned more in those two minutes than I did in the rest of the month. Everyone in the world   38 help. Everyone can give help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness.

The scene of that man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind   39  I have the chance to do something nice. This is the power（力量）of   40 .

One afternoon, my son came home from school and asked me, “Are all people the same even if their skin color is different?” I thought for a moment, then I said, “I’ll explain. Let’s go to a fruit store first. I have something interesting to show you.”

At the store, I told him that we needed to buy apples. And we bought some red apples, green apples and yellow apples.

After we got home, I told Adam, “It’s time to answer your question.” I put one of each type of apple on the table: first a red apple, followed by a green apple and then a yellow apple. Then I looked at Adam, who was sitting on the other side of the table.

“Adam, people are just like apples. They come in different colors, shapes and sizes. See, some may not even look as delicious as others.” As I was talking, Adam was examining each one carefully.

Then, I took each of the apples and peeled them, placing them back on the table, but in a different place.

“OK, Adam, tell me which one is the red apple, the green apple and the yellow apple.”

He said, “I can’t tell. They all look the same now.”

“Take a bite(一口) of each one. See if that helps you tell which one is which.”

He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are just like apples! They are all different, but if you take off the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.”

“Right,” I agreed. “Just like everyone has their own features but they are nearly the same.”

He completely got it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.

Now, when I eat an apple, it tastes a little sweeter than before. What perfect fruit it is!

1. I took Adam to buy apples for         .                    

   A. supper           B. his question          C. a party     D. a present

2. As soon as we got home, I put          on the table.

A. all the apples                    B. three apples of different colors

C. three red apples                  D. three peeled apples

3.After Adam took big bites, he found they         .

A. looked the same     B. tasted good           C. tasted the same    D. weren’t delicious

4.In the end, Adam understood that         .

A. people are much the same even if their skin color is different

B. people are different if their skin color is different

C. the apples look the same after they are peeled             

D. apples of different colors taste different

5. I feel that apples taste a little sweeter than before because         .
