Once there lived in our town a poor family．They were so poor that there was almost nothing in the house but a pot under a   1    table．In it there was a little rice   2   from their neighbour for the coming New Year．On New Year's Eve（除夕夜），the wife had already fallen asleep，but the husband was   3   in bed，worrying about their life．Suddenly he heard someone breaking into the room．

“It must be a thief，” he thought，“but it doesn’t matter．The thief can   4   nothing．” He didn't shout or move．But he kept watching over the thief．

The thief came into the house and was only interested in the rice under the table．

“But   5   can I take it away?” the thief thought hard．Then he had an idea．He  6   his coat，put it on the ground between the bed and the table and turned around to take the pot．

Now the husband knew what the thief would do．He picked up the coat quickly and  7   himself with it   8   the thief turned back．

The thief took the pot，and put the rice onto the coat．Then he began to feel it．But he was  __9   to find that his coat had gone．

“Hey，” he shouted out．The voice woke up the wife．She asked her husband，“Did you hear any sound? Maybe there is a thief in the room．”

“Shut up!(閉嘴)” replied her husband，“  10   to sleep．There is no thief in the room．”

“That’s impossible，”the thief shouted loudly，“If there isn’t a thief，then，where is my coat?”

I used to be very close to my father when I was a child. He gave me almost everything I wanted. Whenever I quarreled with my mother, I would turn to my father for comfort. He was everything to me.
Time flies like a bird. As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father. The gap(代溝) between us began to grow. He had done so much for me but I always took it for granted（理所當然）.
Last time our school gave us two days off, and daddy gave me a ride home on his motorbike. I was tired and fell asleep on his back. Later my mother said he was very happy because it had been a long time since we got close last. Suddenly I felt a little shamed. I realized that I had paid no attention to him a lot during the last few years.
The next day I stayed in bed and when daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended(假裝) that I couldn’t hear him. At last he brought a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, “Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream.” I got so angry with him for troubling my sleep that I shouted, “__________.”
As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor. Hearing the noise, mum came in and shouted at me, “What do you think your father is? Who else treats you as well as he does?”
I was shocked and didn’t know what to say. Finally I rushed with tears all over my face. I went to the pool where I used to go fishing with daddy. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of daddy’s motorbike. He was looking for me worriedly, but he didn’t notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush.
I didn’t return home until 10 a.m.. The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me. Mum hugged me tightly and daddy looked at me with worry in his eyes. “Are you hungry, dear?” he said at last. Before I could say anything, he had gone off on his motorbike to buy food for me.
【小題1】When the writer grew older, he found it         for him to have a talk with his father.

Jennie sat at her window as usual, looking out upon the street, with a look of sadness on her face,“What a long day this is going to be!”

Then she saw a little boy running down the street, swinging his schoolbag. Looking up to the window, he took off    1   hat and bowed with a bright, pleasant smile.

“What a nice    2   ,”said Jennie to herself, as the boy ran out of sight.“It seems like having the sunshine. I wish everybody who goes by would look up    3   smile.”

George, the little boy, told his mother about that    4   girl when he got back home,“She looks so helpless. I wish I could do something for her.”

“Why not give her some    5  ?”said his mother. George agreed.

The next morning, as Jennie    6    at he window again, she saw George with a handful of beautiful flowers carefully picking his way across the street. He stopped in front of her window, smiling pleasantly, and said,“Can I come in?”Jennie told him    7   to get into the house.

Opening the door to Jennie’s gentle“Come in”, George said, “I’ve brought you some flowers.”

“Are they for me?”said Jennie    8  .“How kind you are,”she continued, as George put the flowers on her lap.“I’ve    9   received any flower since we moved to the town.”

“Did you live in the countryside?”asked George,    10    the old, small and empty room.

“Yes,”said Jennie.

Jennie used to have a happy family and live in a beautiful house in the countryside. However, she lost her right leg in an accident. She    11   walk like other people any longer. Later, her father died, and her mother was sick   12    so many years that their money was all gone. They sold the house, and move here to get work to do.

George told his parents    13   . They decided to help her. More and more people in the   14   gave Jennie friendly smiles when they passed by her house. She was greatly cheered up.

A few months later, Jennie and her mother    15   a flower shop. People could always see Jennie sitting in the shop, having a lovely smile on her face.
