A very old lady won a million dollars in a lottery(彩票). Her son and her husband heard the news on the radio.
“How are we going to tell your mother?” the man asked. “The news might kill her!”
“That’s true,” the son said. “Perhaps we’d better speak to her doctor about it. He’ll know how to bring her the news gently.”
They told the old lady’s doctor about this.
“I’m glad you told me, ” he said “A shock(震惊), even a happy one, could give her a heart attack, leave it to me. I’ll find a way of bringing the news to her.”
The doctor thought about the problem for several days, then decided what he would say.
He called on the old lady and sat by her. He took her hand in his.
“Let’s play a game, my dear,” he said. “‘Let’s pretend(假装)’ game.”
“Oh, yes, ” the old lady said. “I love ‘Let’s pretend’ game.”
“Good, I’ll ask you a question first, ” the doctor said, “Then you can ask me one.”
He pretended to think for a few minutes. Then he said, “Tell me, what would you do if you won a million dollars in the lottery?”
“Oh, that’s an easy one,” the old lady said, “I’d give most of it to you, doctor, because you have been so good to me all these years, doctor!” But the doctor was now lying on the floor. He had died of shock.
【小题1】Who won a million dollars in a lottery?

Many believe that life has smiled on Yang Mi: at the age of 4, she got her first TV drama（剧）role; at 16, she became a model for a fashion magazine; at 18, she went to her dream college — Beijing Film Academy (学院).   

Last year, the 24-year-old actress played bad girl Luo Qingchuan in the time-traveling TV drama, Palace. The drama became a big success and made Yang very famous. The number of her micro blog followers soared from several thousand to more than 3 million overnight.

Could she be any luckier? Yang doesn’t think luck had anything to do with her success. She paved her way all by herself. “Every chance comes from the efforts I’ve made,” said Yang. People now think she’s very hard-working.      

She doesn’t forget the time when people gave her the cold shoulder. Some treated her with little respect. They didn’t want to help her in her time of need. “I have to thank them because they gave me the drive to prove myself,” she said. That’s why she is eager to help others when they are in need.

In May, Yang became the ambassador (大使) for the Climate Group. She calls on people to join the Million-Miracle (百万奇迹) project and plant trees on China’s dry land. Together we’ll fight the bad weather!

One day we invited some friends to dinner. When it was about six o’clock, my wife found that we had little bread. So she asked our five-year-old daughter, Kathy, to buy some.
‘Here’s a dollar,’ my wife said, ‘get two loaves of bread, if they have it. If they don’t have it, get anything. But hurry!’
Kathy hurried off, and we waited and waited. By a quarter past six, all the friends had arrived. But Kathy had not returned. Finally we saw her dancing around the corner with a bright new hula hoop（呼啦圈） whirling（旋转） round her middle.
“Kathy!” her mother cried. “Where did you get that hula hoop, and where is the bread?”
“Well, when I got to the shop, they had sold out all their bread,” answered Kathy. “And you said ‘If they don’t have that, get anything!’”
