【題目】If someone says to you: “give me five”, do not search your pocket to get five yuan! It will make others laugh! The person's not asking for your money, but your fingers.

  In the US, "give me five" or "give me the high five" is a popular gesture (動(dòng)作). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the clapping (拍) of each other's raised right hands together.

  People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票).If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.

  This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor to show respect. This also showed that the person raising his arm did not have a sword (刀) in his hand.

  Why not try to give the high five to your friends?

【題目】Policemen do cry. Movies and television show that policemen are tough and hard. But policemen do cry.

Ken Knapcik had been a policeman in Chicago for 20 years when one of his fellow policeman was shot during a drug arrest, and died. Shortly after, he returned home after work to find a note from his 15-year-old daughter on the dining table.

Dad

This poem came directly from heart. I love you so much. It scares me that you go out every day and risk everything to provide us with all that we have. I am also very proud of you. I wrote this to express how much I love you and how lost I’d be without you.

Laura

P.S. Hey, be careful out there.

Laura’s poem was called “The Best Policeman.” It was dedicated (獻(xiàn)給) “To all the policeman in the world who have daughters who love them with all their hearts, especially to my father who had been shot. Part of the poem reads: “ Daddy, my Daddy, can you hear me? Oh, God, I need my Daddy. Please don’t let him die!”

Knapcik stood alone as he read the poem. “It took me several minutes.” he said. “ I’d got through part of it and have to stop before I could go on. I was weeping(哭泣). She had never told me she was scared.” He took the poem to work the next day and showed it to his fellow officers. “I 've never seen so many grown men cry. Some couldn’t even finish reading it.”

Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in the pocket of his police jacket. He takes it with him every time he leaves the house to go to work. “I don’t want to be out there without it,” he said. “I’ll probably carry it with me forever.”
