I took my 9-year-old daughter, Susan and 5-ye...

I took my 9-year-old daughter, Susan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping center. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, "Petting Zoo". The kids jumped up and asked, "Daddy, can we go?"

Both my wife and I were out of work. However；I said, "Sure", giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.

A petting zoo is made up of hundreds of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure（围场）pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.

A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.

She said sadly, "Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter." Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto（座右铭）, which is "Love is Action!"

I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!" for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become art of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It's not only "Love is Action", it's "Love is SACRIFICIAL（牺牲的）Action!" Love always pays a price.

I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin（下巴）resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!

My 13-year-old daughter Lisa remembers birthdays, makes people cards when they are sick, and sends encouraging notes written in colored pens in her neat, artistic hand.

One day I got a call from her principal, “I called to tell you that in 20 years of teaching I have seen nothing like what Lisa did today”, he said

I held my breath again as I thought, my Lisa? My sweet daughter? She must be the wrong kid. What could she have done?

My silence made him go on. “I’ve never seen a student do anything so nice for anyone who needed it more.”

“What did she do?” I asked. He explained to me about the cupcakes (杯形蛋糕).

When Lisa came home from school that afternoon, I told her the principal from her school had phoned me.

“Yeah”, she answered, “I got called out of math class to go to his office. Everyone thought I was in trouble, but he just wanted to know what was going on at lunch.”

Lisa and Ashley had sat with Jordan, a boy who is in special classes. They talked about birthdays, and Lisa asked Jordan when his birthday was. He told her it was coming up but that he lives in a group home and they don’t celebrate birthdays there.

“I remembered his birthday was today, so I made the cupcakes yesterday,” Lisa explained. “Ashley bought a two-liter bottle of soda and some birthday cups, plates, and napkins (餐巾纸) left over from her little brother’s party, and we got some other kids together at lunch today to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Jordan.”

“The principal wanted to know why they were having a birthday party for Jordan at school. When they told him, he just shook his head, took off his glasses, and rubbed his eyes,” Lisa told me. “Finally, he said he was going to tell my parents that I wasn’t in trouble, he was proud of what I did, and I could go back to math class.”

How different my daughter was from me. Better, in fact! I wouldn’t have ever known how to help out disadvantaged kids like that. But my wise daughter knew how-- all it took was cupcakes and adventurous (富有冒险精神的), independent (独立的), kind spirit.

1.What kind of person is Lisa according to the article?

A. She loves making friends with boys.

B. She is fun-loving and humorous.

C. She is warm-hearted and caring.

D. She often asks for trouble.

2.What can we know from the school principal’s phone call?

A. Birthday parties are usually not allowed at the school.

B. The principal was angry with Lisa and her friends.

C. Jordan was in the same class as Lisa.

D. The students thought Lisa was a lot of trouble.

3. How did Lisa and Ashley celebrate Jordan’s birthday?

A. They bought him a beautiful birthday cake.

B. They brought him food and drinks from home.

C. They invited Jordan’s parents to the birthday lunch.

D. They had the principal sing “Happy Birthday” to Jordan.

4. The writer wrote this article to ______________.

My 10-year-old granddaughter was happy the day before yesterday because her mother took her and her friend to a park to celebrate Children’s Day. For a whole day, the two girls played heartily---no homework, no extra-curricular (课外) skills training. The happy life lasted only for one day. Yesterday, everything returned to normal: doing homework till late at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend’s English and “Olympic maths” courses.

Every time I went to my daughter’s house in the evening, I saw her sitting by the small desk in the room doing her homework. On the wall behind the desk are some words she wrote. One sentence reads: “Why is the exercise endless?” Poor girl!

Yesterday my son， daughter and I went to the grocery store. In front of us in line was a little girl with her mother. The little girl was asking her mother for a box of Smarties. The polite way she was asking almost broke the mother’s heart， “I’m sorry， Honey， but we have no money to buy it.”
