bathroom to have a hot bath. He took off his clothes and turned on the tap, but there was no hot water─the
water from the tap was cold.
Stanley didn"t know what was wrong, but he finally decided to take a bath without hot water. He started
to sing as usual, one song after another. Stanley was surprised that the water felt warm this way. So he kept
singing, louder and louder, until he finished his bath.
The next morning when Stanley was going to work, he saw a piece of paper on his door:
Please do not sing so loud! Every time you sing, I get a headache, and my baby
cries.

was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was four years old, an accident happened. One night the father
was very tired after work, so he asked his wife to meet their son and take him home. The mother was very
busy in the kitchen, and she forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way in the street. When the mother found this, she went to look for him, but she
couldn"t find him. Then she went to the police station to ask for help. She was very sad and didn"t know
how to face her husband. After hearing the bad news, the father hurried to the police station. When he saw
his wife, he didn"t blame (责备) her. Instead he said, "I love you, darling!"
"If I had picked him up or found this earlier, this would not have happened," the father said to himself.
He thought there was no point in blaming anyone. His wife also lost her only child. What he could give her
was just understanding. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, they finally found their lost son.
From then on, they became closer than before.

support. Try to learn to forgive (原谅), and then you will find the world is much more wonderful. | | 1. The father didn"t pick the boy up that day because he was ________. | A. sick

It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a
result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn"t talk with
anyone about my problems.
Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk
unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn"t know who he was. He passed
by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That
smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer
to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn"t remember doing so!
It doesn"t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is.
