【第一篇:Little girl’s gift】
The story goes that some time ago, a man had a very lovely little daughter. One day the man punished his three-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.
Money was tight and he became angry when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all.
I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy.”
The father was crushed. He put his arm around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept the gold box by his bed for many years and whenever he was discouraged,he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put itthere.
In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, has been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses ... from our children, family members, friends and God. There is simply no other possession anyone could hold, more precious than this.

embarrassed adj. shy, awkward or ashamed especially in a social situation尴尬的

The SPLA promised that the children would be fed and educated there. Seven-year-old Jal had little choice but to go to the crowded camps. He stayed in school there for only six months.

The bigger boys were handed big weapons, but Jal could only manage a small AK-47. They were really excited to learn how to use a gun.
When the SPLA broke up,( 13-year-old Jal and a group of 400 fellow soldiers decided to join the enemy.(敌人) They believed that they would be treated better. The boys carried enough corn and flour(白面) for a month, the time they thought it would take to reach safety.(他们觉得一个月的时间就可以安全抵达) But three months later, they were still marching.(行进) Because of starvation, by the time the boys arrived at their destination, only 12 of them survived.(幸存)

【第五篇:Quasimodo】
My new pet was still very young, with his feathers pushing through the wrinkled skin, mixed with the horrible yellow down (绒羽) that covers the baby pigeon. Owing to his appearance Laxly suggested we call him Quasimodo, and liking the name without realizing the implications, I agreed.
Owing to the fact that he had no parents to teach him the facts of life, Quasimodo became convinced that he was not a bird at all and refused to fly. If he wanted to get on a table or a chair, he stood below it, cooing until someone lifted him up. He was always eager to join us in anything we did, and would even try to come for walks with us. This, however, we had to stop, for either you carried him on your shoulder, which was risking an accident to your clothes, or you let him walk behind. Then you had to slow down your pace to suit his, for should you get too far ahead you would hear the wildly excited coos and turn round to find Quasimodo running desperately after you, angry at your cruelty.
Quasimodo insisted on sleeping in the house: nothing could get him to sleep in the place I had made for him. He preferred to sleep on the end of Margo’s bed. Eventually, however, he was sent away to the drawing-room, for if Margo turned over in the night Quasimodo would wake, jump up the bed and sit on her face, cooing loudly and lovingly.
It was Larry who discovered that Quasimodo was a musical pigeon. Not only did he like music, but he actually seemed to recognize two different varieties, the waltz and the march.
Help: Quasimodo [kwa:zi:′mEUdEU] n. 复活节后的第一个星期天
coo [kU:] v. (鸽子等)咕咕叫
