It was Mother’s Day, but the young mother was a little unhappy, because she was 800 miles away from her parents. In the morning, she phoned her mother to wish her a happy Mother’s Day, and her mother told her about the beautiful lilacs（丁香）in the garden.
Later that day, when she told her husband about the lilacs, he said, “I know where we can find all that you want. Get the children and come on.” So they went out, driving down the country roads.

They stopped the car and the young woman walked to the old woman, put the flowers in her hands, and smiled at her. The old granny thanked her again and again. She smiled happily, too.
When the young mother came back to her car, her children asked her, “Who is that old granny? Why did you give our flowers to her?”

Once upon a time, there was a spider with the name Anansi. He knew that he was very clever but he also knew he wasn’t wise(英明的). He didn’t like this, but he did not know what to do. One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket ban asked each person to give him some of their wisdom(智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.
Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous(嫉妒)of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he had tired the basket to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.
Then his youngest son walked by, “What are you doing, father?” he asked and Anansi told him. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.
Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever, but my baby son is still wiser than me.

A long time ago, there was an apple tree and a little boy. The boy came and         around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the         , and rest under the shadow (樹蔭). He loved the tree and the tree loved him. Time went by … The little boy        up and no longer played around it. The old tree was very sad. It didn’t know         . The boy said, “I am not a kid. I want to play with toys. But I don’t have money.”
“You needn’t           about it. Pick all my apples and sell them, you will have money.” After that the boy didn’t come back. Years later, the boy returned and the tree was happy. But          its surprise, the boy cut it down to build a house. Many years later the boy returned again. The old tree was happy and said to him “Sorry, my boy. I can’t give you          more. The only thing left is my dying roots. But you can sit down and rest here. This is your forever         .
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parents. When we were young, we loved playing with them. When we grow up, we         them, and only come to them when we need something or are in trouble. No matter what happens, parents will be there and give what they have to make us        .
We may say the boy is cruel (冷酷的) to the tree but that’s how we are treating (對待) our parents. Nowadays, many old people feel lonely because their children don’t live with them. We hope all of us try to help those old people and manage to make the old have a happy life.

Alice Munro was born in Wingham, Ontario. Her father, Robert Eric Laidlaw, was a fox and mink (貂) farmer, and her mother, Anne Clarke Laidlaw, was a school teacher. Munro began writing as a teenager.

It began a year ago, around Christmas. Every time I drove down our street, I      an old man sitting in his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking, and looking rather unhappy.
One day, while I was driving past him with my        , I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement.      , when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.
“       did you wave at him?” my daughter asked.
I told her it’s just an act of kindness that doesn’t        anything. It gives both him and me a feeling of joy. My daughter replied that she felt a bit uncomfortable to wave to a        , but next time she would try it as well.
We liked close to the old man,       we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and, pretty soon, the old man started         at everyone who passed by his house.
One time, my daughter’s friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home wave at her very        . She mentioned that she waved back, although she didn’t know        , and it felt really good.
As soon as my daughter heard this, she told her friend the        of how all the waving began. Her friend answered: “Tell your mom that’s really cool!”
Other friends gave similar        . This taught my daughter that an act of kindness can be natural and        , if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness can do good to        the giver and the receiver.
Moved by the old man’s actions, we’re planning to give our waving neighbor a thank-you card to express our        for his exciting waves. We are really thankful for him sharing his simple joy with all who pass by his house.

Many years ago，when I was working as a volunteer(志愿者)at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Lisa. The poor little girl had a very serious disease and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a bloodtransfusion(輸血)from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗體)to fight the illness.
The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would be willing(愿意的)to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(遲疑)for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I’ll do it if it can save Lisa.”
As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He 1ooked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the colour returned to his sister’s face, his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid. He 1ooked up at the doctor and asked, “Will I start to die now?”
