An Unforgivable Mistake
A few years ago,the company I work for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year.I've always loved jogging,so I was really happy when I found out the apartment they had rented for us was next to Central Park.This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.
Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers in the park,I didn't usually take anything with me.How could they rob me if I didn't have anything?But this one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home,so I put a ﹩ 10 bill in my back pocket.
It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around.While I was running,another jogger bumped into me.He apologized and continued running.For a while,I didn't think too much of it.However,when I noticed the wide path where I was running,I thought it was kind of strange.The warning of robbers in the park occurred to me. "It could have been a robber!" I suddenly became alarmed,so I checked my pocket.The money was missing!I immediately started to run after the other jogger.I finally caught up and grabbed him firmly by the arm.I started shouting and demanding that he gave me the ﹩10 bill.I'm not usually a hot-headed person,but I really lost my temper at that moment.I couldn't believe the robbery was actually happening to me.Filled with anger,I shook my fist at him.This seemed to frighten him.He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money.Then he ran away as fast as he could.
I bought the bread and went home.As soon as I got home,I couldn't wait to tell my wife the story. "You won't believe what happened to me," I started with pride.She immediately interrupted(插话)." I know,you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.

【答案】Looking at the money on the table,I stood there,shocked.For the rest of the day,I felt extremely guilty,with the innocent jogger and his "helplessness" on my mind. "How could I be so rude to him without knowing the truth?Why was it that the jogger gave me the money?I still remember his frightened face when I scared him away like a monster.I decided to find a chance to apologize to him.The next morning,I got up and went to the park as usual,but not for jogging.I just hung around where I met that jogger,but in vain.
For several days,I waited at the same spot.But to my disappointment,he didn't turn up.It was almost a week later before I finally spotted him again.I,the "robber",gave the ﹩10 bill back to him and said sorry to him again and again.Fortunately,he forgave me for what I had done to him and said, "Oh,it doesn't matter." Many years have passed,but I can still feel my cheeks burning with shame.From the experience 1 have learned that it is too early to judge a person before you know the truth.

1.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
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.

2.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.

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.
