I still remember the day I was driving to the supermarket I own. When I came out, I found a boy cleaning my car with a brush. I went over and patted (拍) him  31  the shoulder, which surprised him very much. In no time he began to   32   at me, so I was sure he  33  some money. From the shoes he was wearing I could hardly imagine how poor he was. So I offered him a $100 bill. To my great surprise, he  34   to take it. When I was wondering what he was doing, he said,“I was waiting here for 4 hours, waiting for you. Your  35  is so beautiful and I like it. But I don’t need that.” I knew he was mentioning the  36 .

   As he refused the money, I offered to drive him around the town. The boy became so  37  that he got into the car at once,“Would you please drive me office? It is only about 3miles.” What the boy wanted to do was to show off to his friends and his family.  38  I stopped, he jumped out and ran into an old building, telling me to wait there for some time. Very soon he came out, Saying to a little girl on his back,“Look at this beautiful car, I will buy you  39  some day.”

I noticed his sister had a pale (蒼白的) face,  40  ,her legs were too thin, and she was unable to  41.

After that day, I went to his home several times. And I got to know more about him and his family. Poor as they were, the boy  42  refused my money, and said,“I can  43  money by myself, thank you.”

Soon I told my manager of the supermarket that a boy would go to 44   here the next day.

No matter how poor we are, we would 55  give in (屈服) to ourselves.

When I was a little girl, my family lives in a small village. There was a very beautiful river near my home. The water was clean and cool. I liked to go fishing there with mom. We would catch fish, look for clams and play in the water. There were also a lot of  birds near the river. We would spend all day watching the birds. Life was beautiful and wonderful in the old days.

Now my family lives in the city. Last Sunday my daughter asked me to take her to see the beautiful river I was always talking about. “I want to go fishing there with you and Grandma ao much,” she said.

When we went to the river, we only saw a factory and a mountain of garbage(垃圾). My mom was surprised, my daughter was quite despondent, and I was sad—the river was my best friend. I grew up with it. Now there are no fish in it; the birds are gone, too. I hear it crying for help. But what can I do ?
