A Change of Heart It was a cold December and things were tough for my family.Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community of New Westminster as dad passed away five years earlier.We relied on social assistance.
Looking back,I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school.Every morning she would place a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles (鞋底) were worn out.When we got home,Mum would have French toast ready for us.Constant moving was typical for my family in those days,and it didn't look like we'd be in our current house much longer.Rent was ﹩25 a month,but Mum couldn't pay it,and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas on the first of January.
The holidays were fast approaching,and we were entitled to ﹩25 for Christmas from social services.Mum said that instead of buying food,she was going to use the money to pay our rent.That way we'd have a roof over our heads for a little while longer.Then she told us that there would be no Christmas gifts.
Unknown to Mum,I had been selling Christmas trees,shoveling (铲) snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots.I knew exactly which boots I wanted.They were ten-inch,Top-Genuine,Pierre Paris boots,and they cost ﹩23.
The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon.I was very excited as I hurried up the road to catch the bus into town.It was only a half-mile walk,but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations.It was then I realized that at our house,we had no lights,no decorations and no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
As I continued walking,I began to feel a strange sense of guilt.Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots,while Mum was probably home in tears,thinking of ways to explain why there were no presents.How was I supposed to be happy if everyone else in the family was not?Thinking of this,the idea of buying the beautiful boots I had wanted for so long didn't seem as fascinating as before.As I arrived at the bus stop,the driver opened the door,waiting for me to get on.I stood there for what seemed like a century,until eventually the driver asked, "Son,are you getting on this bus or not?" I finally burst out without hesitation, "No thanks,sir.I've changed my mind."
Paragraph 2:
The bus drove off without me,and I breathed a sigh of relief.Feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders,I knew what I had to do next.Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store.Into the store I went,brimming with happiness and excitement.I bought a turkey,ham,oranges and all the Christmas decorations.I spent every coin of my hard-earned money.Once I arrived home with all those purchases,I knocked on the door.I could hardly wait to see my mother's face!When Mum opened the door,some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor,and she just stood there,too stunned to speak.Holding back the tears,I exclaimed, "Merry Christmas,Mother!There really is a Santa Claus!" To see my mother's prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got.It was a Merry Christmas for us after all!

1.Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours,she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat,but it was not even possible for her,since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while,watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However,with no money in hand,she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey,girl,you want to have the noodles?
"Oh,yes…,but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today," said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles,whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating,Jenny cried silently.
"What is it?" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing,actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles,while my mother,drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words,the seller smiled, "Girl,do you really think so?I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your gratitude to her?"
Jenny sat there,speechless and numb with shock?she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that?A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted,but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home,Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

I grew up in a poor family with six brothers,three sisters,my father and mother.We had little money and few goods,but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen,I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis,who not only believed in me,but often told me "Dream is priceless".However,when I was about to get off the ground,one particular incident happened,which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5,that was a big sum.I was so excited,because this meant a chance for money in my pocket,certainly money for a new bike and new clothes,and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting,and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach,I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed,you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all,my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

3. One day,when I was a first-year student in high school,I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself,"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?He must really be a nerd(书呆子)."
I had quite a weekend planned(parties and a football game with my friends),so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking,I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him,knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying,and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up,and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him,and as he crawled around looking for his glasses,I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses,I said,"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said,"Hey,thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out,he lived near me,so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before,but we talked all the way home,and I carried his books.
