A small boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “ I am blind, please help”. There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.

The boy recognized his footsteps and asked :“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”

What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.

The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.

The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.

The second is：Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!

1. What was the boy doing on the street?

A. He was selling his old hat.

B. He was busy counting coins.

C. He was begging for money.

D. He was showing his handwriting.

2. How did the man help the blind boy?

A. He took the boy's sign away.

B. He only gave the boy some money.

C. He changed the words on the sign.

D. He asked others to help the blind boy.

3. The blind boy recognized the kind man by his ______ .

The boy sat on his chair, with his hands above the keyboard. He thought about what to write.

He recalled that the competition deadline was merely a week away. But he still had not even started on his piece. He looked at the brochure again.“WRITING COMPETITION！” the title read. His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition, and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays.

As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts, he realized how hopeless his task of winning was. Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories. He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing.

Suddenly, he had a brainwave. This time, he came up with an original and imaginative story.

The words shot towards him like a storm of leaves. Words were coming easily, flowing through him, faster than he could type. He typed faster than he ever had before. He continued to type, amazed how easy writing this story was. The boy could not stop writing. He looked at the word count and saw the number “248” staring right back at him. He was not even halfway yet.

Then he heard his mother’s call of saying time for bed. He continued writing the piece, ignoring her. He had to make up for the time he had lost in thinking about a topic to write.

Finally, he finished. The word count now read “498”.

“Perfect，” he thought, “just under the word limit.” He knew this was the story that would win.

He went to the website and searched for the competition. He found the page but there was no “Enter” button.

Confused, he then re­read the page again. It read COMPETITION CLOSED.

1.What caused the boy to take part in the writing competition?

A.A new computer.

B.The prize money.

C.His own interest.

D.His mom’s encouragement.

2.How did the boy finish his earlier writing?

A.His mom helped him.

B.He copied others’ ideas.

C.His friends assisted him.

D.He used his imagination.

3.Why did the boy delay his writing?

A.Because he was terribly lazy.

B.Because he didn’t know what to write.

C.Because he wasn’t confident.

D.Because he read too many stories.

4.Which might be the maximum word limit for each entry?

A.100. B.250.

C.500. D.1000.
