Love is a two - way street

      A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced: "Dad, because today is your birthday and you're 40 years old, I'm going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!" When the boy started making good on his word (履行諾言 ) , the father shouted:  "Andrew, don’t do it now. I'm too busy! "

     The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said: "You can finish later.  The boy said nothing but quietly walked away." That evening the father said:  "Come and finish the kisses now,  Andrew!" But the boy didn’t.

    Unfortunately, a few days later after the father's birthday, the boy had an accident and died.  His sad father wrote: "If only(要是...,該多好)i could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words,  and how much my heart is hurting."

     Love is a two-way street.  We must warmly accept any loving act,  or others will take it as a "NO" and it can leave a scar(傷痕). If we don't receive love, our life will lose its true meaning.  Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us .

One dark night, two blind(盲的) men were going home from work. “I need to buy some socks,” said one of them suddenly. “Let’s stop at the shop on the street.” “OK,” said the other. “I think I’ll buy two or three pairs for myself, too.” They went to the shop.

“What size do you wear, sir? And what colour would you like?” asked the girl in the shop.

“Size Eleven. Give me one pair of black socks and two pairs of white, please,” answered one of them. “And you, sir?” the girl asked the other man. “The same for me. I wear Size Eleven, too. So, the same colour and the same number,” said the other man.

A moment later they were in the dark street. Each man took the socks he had bought. But just then, a boy riding a bicycle bumped(撞) into them. The blind men dropped(掉) all the socks on the ground! All the six pairs of socks mixed up. The boy quickly said sorry and left. The two blind men picked up all the socks, but they could not tell black from white. How could they be sure that they each got one pair of black socks and two pairs of white socks? They tried to ask for help, but there was no one else in the street. What could they do?

Soon one of them had an idea. Can you guess what it was? They separated(分開) each pair of socks and both took one sock from each pair. When they got home, each of them had two black socks and four white ones of the same size –just what they wanted. Weren’t they clever?

    "Come now," she said, "Stop crying at once. What's the use of crying?" She was a strange child, and often talked to herself like this.

    Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. She opened it and found a very small cake with the words EATME on it.xkb1

    Nothing could surprise Alice now. "Well, I'II eat it," she said. "If I get taller, I can take the key off the table. And if I get smaller, I can get under the door. One way or another. I'll get into the garden. So it doesn't matter what happens!" She went on eating, but nothing happened.

    Good afternoon, everyone! This is Rose Garden Middle School Radio. John Smith speaking, with something new to share with you today. We all know that thinking green is sometimes the most difficult thing to do, but not impossible! Bed ZED, a new eco-friendly village (生態(tài)村） in the south of London, has done a great job of providing its villagers with a high level living while getting them to pay more attention to protecting the environment.

Also, the people there travel to work in shared cars or use public transportation if they work far away.

    Now, you may think it’s not easy to live such a life, but let me tell you, it’s not! It’s a way of life!
