When I was in the third grade, I was chosen to be the princess in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines（臺(tái)詞）. But once on the stage, every word      from my head. Then my teacher asked me to change my role to be a narrator（解說(shuō)者）for the play.        I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she noticed my       and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.

 It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions（蒲公英）popping（炸開(kāi)）      the grass in bunches（束）. I watched my mother bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I’ll dig up（挖光）all these weeds（野草）,” she said. “From now on, we’ll       have roses in this garden.”

“But I like dandelions,” I protested（抗議）. “All the flowers are        -- even dandelions!”

My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is        of people, too.” She added.

When I       that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a wonderful narrator,” she said,       me of how much I loved to read stories aloud.

A passenger（乘客）told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off. She said to him that she would bring him the water in ten minutes.

The air hostess was kept so busy that she forgot to give him the water. As a result, the passenger was held up to take his medicine. Thirty minutes later, when the passenger’s ring for service sounded, the air hostess hurried over to him with a cup of water, but he refused it.

In the following hours on the plane, each time the air hostess passed the passenger, she would ask him with a smile whether he needed help or not. But the passenger never replied to her.

When the passenger was going to get off the plane, he asked the air hostess to hand him the passenger’s booklet. She knew that he would write down sharp words about her job, but with a smile she handed it to him.

Off the plane, the air hostess opened the booklet, and smiled because the passenger wrote, “On the flight, you asked me whether I needed help or not for twelve times in all. How can I refuse your twelve sincere smiles?”
