boy. He was new in the school. He looked out of the window for a few minutes. Then he wrote a
number in his exercise-book and put up his hand.
"May I go home, sir?" he asked. "I know the answer now."

"Bring it here." said the teacher.
The next morning, the teacher asked the boy. "How did you find the answer so quickly?"
"Well,sir." He said, "I did not want to stay here so long. So I did my best to find the answer quickly.

we set our sight 2 a small park in town. Each of us went to get 3 he wanted and would meet back
on the grass later.
My friend Robby and I went to a hot dog shop. The vendor (卖主) put together the hot dog just Robby
wanted it to be. But when she took out money to pay him, the man said, "It looks a little stale on the cool
side, so never mind 4 me. This will be my freebie (免费赠品) of the day."
We said our thanks, 5 our friends in the park, and began to eat our food. As we talked and ate, I
saw a man 6 alone nearby. He was looking at us. I could tell that he hadn"t showered for days. Another
homeless man, I thought, like all the others you see in cities. I didn"t pay much 7 attention than that.
We finished eating and wanted to 8 more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage to
throw away our lunch bags, I heard a strong voice asking, "There isn"t any food in those bags, is there?"
It was the man 9 had been watching us. I didn"t know what to do for a moment. " 10 , I ate it
already."
"Oh," was his only answer, with no shame in his voice at all. It was clear that he was too hungry to feel
ashamed. I felt 11 for the man, but I didn"t know what I could do. At that time Robby said, "I"ll be back
soon. Please wait for me a minute." Then she ran off. I watched curiously (好奇地) as she went 12 the
street and into the hot dog shop again. Then I came to know what she was going to do. Sure enough, she
came back with a hot dog in her hand in a minute. She gave the food to the hungry man. 13 to me,
Robby said with a smile, "I was just passing on the 14 someone gave me before."
