We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four．Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner．I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang．Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom．
The guests arrived．I introduced my two daughters to each of them．The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids．
Each of the guests paid too much attention to Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile．They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age．
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt．We do it with the best of intention（意图）．
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child．I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined （使逊色）．I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes．I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying．
I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and held her in arms to make her feel better．
Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point(特意做某事) to speak to the elder child first．
1.The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ____．
A．young age B．lovely smile
C．pretty clothes D．beautiful hair
2.Kristen felt sad and cried because ____．
A．the guest gave her more coats to carry
B．the guests praised her sister more than her
C．her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests
D．she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly
3.From this experience ,the writer changed the way of ____．
A． dressing her daughters B．visiting friends
C． greeting the elder child D．kissing.

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!
