(At the beach)
Ben: Hi, Judy! I can't believe you came to join us!
Judy: Hello, Ben. I came because I like your idea: when you give, you're rich. I'm happy that I can do something for the Earth.
Ben: Right. That's why we had this plan to get our clean beach back. Do you know if Paul's coming?
I remember he had the same idea and said he would try his best to come over.
Judy: But he just called and said he wouldn't come today because it's too hot.
Ben: I can't believe it! He always says, "We can do this and that . . . ."
Judy: Don't you know him? He only pays lip service to what should be done but never does anything.
Ben: I see. Let's forget about him. We'll have Tony and Sophie to help us soon.
Judy: That's great. So where should we start now? Should we pick up those bottles first?
Ben: Sure, let's go.
【小題1】Why are Ben and Judy at the beach?

I was walking around in a store. I saw an assistant pass this little boy his money back, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
“It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.” he said.
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her, and he shouldn’t worry. But he replied to me sadly, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “What if we checked again, just in case (萬一)you do have enough money?”
“Ok,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left . The little boy said, “Thank you God for giving me enough money!”
I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.
