Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway should pay me back£12, so you owe me the money,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man who was working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely, “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her, “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes,” she answered, shyly, “The beach was lovely. And I can swim, too!”
“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”
“I’m four,” the child said proudly, “I’ll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said, “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“Er, well…”woman looked at the child, “I mean… she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe£1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”
1.What happened to the woman?
A. She had to buy the return ticket in Jersey.
B. She had to return home a day earlier.
C. She had to stay in a hotel for one night.

As Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom, she met with a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.
“Watch it, dwarf (矮子),” the boy shouted, as he kept away from the little third grader. Then, the boy imitated(模仿) the way Amy limped(跛行)when she walked.
Amy closed her eyes for a moment.
“Ignore (忽视)him!” she told herself as she headed for her classroom.
It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. The teasing made Amy feel lonely.

Out came the pencil and paper and Amy went to work on her letter. She wrote:
Dear Santa Claus,

Love,
Amy
The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa Claus made the front page of the News Sentinel. The little girl’s story spread quickly. She asked for such a simple, yet unusual Christmas gift - just one day without teasing.
