My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the   36  of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then    37  the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on   38  his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he   39  belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be   40  , I didn’t think much of it, but I had   41  to warn my neighbors of the drawings   42  appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the   43  to do so, because I was a little busy recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I   44  Mary, my elderly neighbor,   45  at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once   46 , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve   47  every item he has sent. You don’t know how much   48  the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our   49 , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days,   50  she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small   51  of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought   52  to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should   53  this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most   54  make their day.
It’s doing the little, simple things that can often make a big   55  in someone’s life.

“It’s not right.” Mr. Wu said to his wife one evening. “At some time or another that man has borrowed nearly everything we have. Almost every day he comes over to borrow something.”
“You are quite right,” his wife replied, “and most of the things he’s never returned.”
“What I want to know,” her husband said, “is why he can’t buy the things he needs like everyone else.”
“Because people like us are foolish enough to lend him what he needs.” she replied. “As long as we are willing to lend, he’ll keep on borrowing.”
“Then we’ll never lend him anything again.” Mr. Wu said. “The next time he asks to borrow something, I’ll say no.”

A school teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few    16  . Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child    17  , so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.
So when the day came, every    18   brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to    19   with them the tomatoes in the plastic    20   wherever they go.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the    21   smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. Besides, those having more tomatoes had to carry    22   bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you    23   while carrying the tomatoes with you for 1     24  ?”
The children let out their frustrations and started    25   of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and    26  tomatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the    27  .
“This is exactly the    28   when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your    29   and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten tomatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”
So    30   others is that best attitude to take!

A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspaper.
“Last week, ” he said,  “my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As
it was a present,  I spent twice its worth in advertising,  but didn’t get it back. ”
“How did you write your advertisement? ” asked one of the listeners,  a merchant.
　　“Here it is, ” said the man,  taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read,  “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening,  a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street. ”
“Now, ” said the merchant,  “I often advertise,  and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again,  and if it fails,  I’ll buy you a new one. ”
　　The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote:  “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble,  he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known. ”
　　This appeared in the newspaper,  and on the following morning,  the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors,  and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake,  and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.
小題1:The result of the first advertisement was that＿＿＿＿ .
A．the man got his umbrella back
B．the man wasted some money advertising
C．nobody found the missing umbrella
D．the umbrella was found somewhere near the church
小題2:The merchant suggested that the man should＿＿＿ .
