A man came back home from work late, tired, to find his six-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“If you want to know, I make $20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was furious, “If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish!”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.
“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now,” said the man. “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” the boy said gladly. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

I was on the escalator in a market. There was an old man who was about five or six people in the front of me. People behind him were all in a hurry and saw him as a rock. The old man knew these clearly and tried hard to step aside.
I remember…Sometimes when walking or driving behind an older person, I’ve gotten impatient and upset.
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me!” said the old man, “I don’t mean to hold you up.” He then tried his best to get off the escalator.
I suddenly saw this in a whole new light. I felt sick to my stomach. The old man was apologizing to everyone, when we should have helped him to calm his fears.
One by one, people went around him quickly. By the time I got to him, I asked, “Sir, can I help you?”
The man thought for a while, then said, “Well, yes, thank you!”
I placed my hand under his left arm and walked away from the rush of people quickly.
“So what are you shopping for, sir?”
“Oh, today is Mother’s Day. I want to buy something for my neighbor. She’s a single mother and she is always so nice to me.” he said, stopping suddenly as he searched his pocket.
“Oh, it’s here! I always carry them with me,” he said. Then he took out some business cards and handed me one which read:
“John Smith.
Friend to all…enemy to no one!
I said a prayer（祈祷）today and you were the answer.
Thank you!”
“That’s for you,” he said. “Thanks for stopping to help an old man.”
“My friend, you helped me. I discovered why I was unhappy with the world. Now I know how to solve the problem. No more with me!”
1.Why did the old man try hard to step aside?
A. Because he was in a hurry.
B. Because he didn’t want to be in other people’s way.
C. Because the escalator was very crowded.
D. Because he was as heavy as a rock.

A. the old man tried hard to step aside

A. the old man needed the writer’s help then he came
