I grew up in a small town where elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age，not so long ago，when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting.At the time，I didn't consider this to be so important，although today it certainly would be.Actually，our lunch time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realized it.
Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always.I had been picked to be the princess in the school play，and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines with me.But no matter how easily I delivered them at home，as soon as I stepped onstage，every word disappeared from my head.Finally，my teacher took me aside.She explained patiently that she needed a narrator （旁白） and had written a narrator's part to the play，and asked me to switch roles.Her words，kindly delivered，still hurt me，especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day.But she sensed my unease，and instead of suggesting we practice my lines，she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine （藤） was turning green.Under the huge trees，we could see yellow dandelions （蒲公英） appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches，as if a painter had touched our landscape with small amounts of gold.I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes. "I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds，" she said，pulling a blossom up by all its roots， "From now on，we'll have roses in this garden." I immediately protested， "But I like dandelions.All flowers are beautiful— even dandelions.
Paragraph 1：
"Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty？ " asked my mother thoughtfully.________
Paragraph 2：
"But you will be a beautiful narrator，" Mom said.________
【答案】Paragraph1：
"Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty？" asked my mother thoughtfully.Just at that time，I realized that my mother had guessed my pain.I started to sob，unable to say a word.My mother hugged me tightly.I stopped crying and told her the truth，saying I felt ashamed for playing the part of a narrator as it was not as important as the princess.
Paragraph2
"But you will be a beautiful narrator，" Mom said.Over the next few weeks，with her continuous encouragement，I learned to take pride in the role.The big day finally came.All the teachers，students and their family members gathered at the school hall，waiting for the performance.I felt more and more nervous and luckily，a few minutes before the play，a dandelion was sent to me，which calmed me down.The play turned out to be a huge success and we received thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.I carried the dandelion all through the play，as it reminded me of my mother's lesson—Everybody has his or her own value in the world.

Little Ellen laid her head against her father's breast.To her it was a Happy New Year's morning，but it was not so with Mr.Edgar，a successful businessman.He was tired of the plot in the business world.He was not happy at all! "For years，"he said to himself，"I have been pursuing the means of happiness，yet happiness itself seems to be still farther in the distance.""Why am I not happy？"But the answer was not given.
After breakfast，Mr.Edgar left home and went to his company.On his way，he noticed a lovely child around the same age as his daughter playing in the yard.Her beauty，which had in it something of innocence （天真），impressed him so deeply that he turned to gain a second look.With the girl was a father and he happened to be Abraham James，who owed（欠） money to Mr.Edgar from their business dealings.Abraham couldn't meet his responsibilities to Mr.Edgar，and as a result，Mr.Edgar said some unkind words.Mr.Edgar had an appointment with a lawyer（律师） today，preparing to charge him and ask for money he was owed.While the money wasn't a significant amount for Mr.Edgar，it meant a lot to Abraham James，who planned to sell his house to come up with the money.
As Mr.Edgar continued on his way，he couldn't forget the cheerful face of the child.Suddenly，he remembered his own daughter's smiling face and sweet morning greeting.He thought，"She must also wish her Daddy a happy New Year.If her Dad isn't happy，will she still wear that innocent smile on her face？"He seemed to have found the way to be happy.
