I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier (收银员) hand a little boy his money back, saying,“I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked towards him and asked him who the doll was for.
“It's the doll that my sister wanted most for Christmas,” he said. I told him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her and that he shouldn't worry. He sadly replied, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her. I have to give the doll to my mom so that she can give it to my sister when she joins her.”
His eyes were so sad while saying this.“My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mom is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.”
My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and suggested that we count the money again. “Okay,” he said, “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left.” “Thank you, God, for giving me enough money!” the little boy said.
I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. 5. Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

When shopping in a store, I met a boy. When I saw him waving his hands excitedly in the air and shouting in a loud voice, "Mommy, I'm here.", I knew he was mentally troubled.
I asked his name and he said proudly, "My name is Denny and I'm shopping with mother."

"How old am I now, Mommy?" he asked his mother.
"You're fifteen years old, Denny; now be a good boy and let the man pass by."

My 14 year - old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second - hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well.
John wore the coat to school the next day. After he came home, I asked, “Did the kids like your coat?” “They love it,” he said with a big grin. Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove.
One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.
John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The price of the coat was too high.
B. John liked the coat very much.
C. They often went shopping together.
D. The writer didn’t want to buy the coat.
2.What does the underlined word “grin” mean?

A. He was willing to follow suggestions.
B. He often helped to do some housework.
C. He was often worried about his study.
D. He said sweet words to make his mother happy.
