On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were served
warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying . I was feeling a little tired I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed for another nearby dustbin and started looking something.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and handed the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s day!”
He thanked me and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he
away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “Giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.

I had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall and just looked . In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or taking notes. One day I asked her to read aloud the text. When I heard her standard American pronunciation, I looked at her with new eyes. And I her name—Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school was allowed to attend. I thought it over and filled in name.
Kelly practiced hard for the competition. However, I was a little worried because she was always too . Could she do well in the competition?
On the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I told her to take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing. It seemed she was really . I felt upset, but I just patted her on the shoulder and let her go to draw lots（抽签）. As a result, she drew No. 9 while No. 8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches.
Sure enough, No. 8 was very . The whole audience made a warm applause （鼓掌）almost every 30 seconds and was still talking about his speech with until Kelly appeared on the stage. I sat there with no to look at her. It was her first time to go up the stage, so I couldn’t be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found I was so afraid of her .
The strong spotlight and large hall made her so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless.
But the moment that me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, “Now, please focus on（聚焦于）me.”
Three times in all, louder and louder.
The whole audience fell silent.
I could believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn’t attention at all. She gave a perfect speech.
I think I will never forget this touching lesson that my student taught me — never underestimate（低估）the power of the silent people.

Dad lost his job after arguing(争吵) with the boss, and when Christmas came that year, we had no money at all. On Christmas Eve, Dad took me out into the park. I had a blanket(毛毯) wrapped(卷绕) around me, so I offered to share with Dad, but he said no thanks. We looked at the sky.

Rich city people, he’d say, live in fantastic flats, but their air was so polluted(污染的) that they could not even see the stars.
“ out your favorite star.” Dad said that night. He told me I could have it for keeping. He said it was my Christmas present. “You can’t give me a star,” I said, “Nobody the stars.”
“Right,” Dad said, “But you can suppose it is yours. And when you do that, it is yours.”
I my head, looked at the stars, and tried to figure out(断定) which was the best one. Then, I found one.
“I that one.” I said.
Dad smiled. “That’s Venus(金星),” he said, “Venus was only a planet. She looked bigger and brighter because she was much than the stars. Poor old Venus didn’t even make her own light. She shone only from reflected(反射) .”
“I like it anyway,” I said, “I had loved Venus even that Christmas. You could see it in the early evening, and if you got up early, you could still see it in the morning, after all the stars had disappeared.”
Dad said, “Ok, it’s Christmas. I your decision. You can have it if you want.” And he gave me Venus.
We all laughed about the kids who believed in the Santa myth(圣诞传说) and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch(堆) of cheap plastic toys. “Many years later, when all the junk(废物) they got is broken and long forgotten,” Dad said, “you will have your star.”
