was stolen.The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she fortunately still had some left.A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked unhappy When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine.The conductor began to collect fares(車費).When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes, he

explained that he had spent all his money when he had accidentally got on a wrong bus and now he was trying to go home.On hearing this, she ordered the old man to get off the bus.The old man was almost in tears as he begged her to let him take the bus home.The driver took the conductor's side and repeated the conductor's command The woman was watching the incident.when the driver and the conductor raised their voices at the old man, she interfered(干預(yù)).“Stop

bothering him!Can't you see he's only trying to get home?”“He doesn't have any money!”the driver shouted.“Well, that's no reason to throw him off the bus ,”she insisted.Then she reached inside her blouse, look out her remaining money, and handed it to the conductor.“Here's his fare and mine.Just stop giving him a

hard time.”All heads turned to the woman.“It's only money,”she shrugged.She rode the rest of the way home wearing a happy smile, with the money she'd lost earlier forgotten.On the road of life, the help of strangers can lighten our loads and lift our spirits.How much sweeter the journey will be when we make it a little smoother for others。

母親節(jié)英語短文

Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years.Following her longstanding custom, she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.I don't remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way.But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin.Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don't do that anymore —your hands are too rough!” She didn't say anything in reply.But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love.Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night.By then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead.Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away.But always it lurked, in the back of my mind.Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl anymore.Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.She's been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe the boy's scraped knee.She cooks the best fried chicken in the world...gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could...Now, my own children are grown and gone.Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her.So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly run across my face to brush the hair from my forehead.Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my young voice complained, “Don't do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” Catching Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night.I thought she'd remember, as I did.But Mom didn't know what I was talking about.She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands.And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found 此文章為摘抄

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

“Yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man.“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

“That’s none of your business.Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.“I just want to know.Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down.Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”

The father was furious, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed.Think about why you are being so selfish.I work hard every day for such childish behavior.”

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions.How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.“Are you asleep, son?” He asked.“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man, “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.Here’s the $10you asked for.”

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.“Oh, thank you daddy!” He yelled.Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled.“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.“Daddy, I have $20 now.Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow.I would like to have dinner with you.”

一個人工作到很晚，帶著疲憊與憤怒回到家里，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)5歲大的兒子正在門口等他。

“爸爸，我可以問你一個問題嗎？”

“當然，什么問題？”

“爸爸，你一個小時賺多少錢？”

“這不關(guān)你的事。怎么問這樣一個問題？”父親生氣地說道。

“我只是想知道。請告訴我吧，你一個小時賺多少錢？”小男孩乞求地說。

“真想知道就告訴你吧，我一小時賺20美元。”

“噢，”男孩說著，低下了頭。接著，他抬起頭來問：“爸爸，我可以借你10美元錢嗎？”

父親生氣了：“如果你問這個問題，只是為了借錢買無聊的玩具或其他沒用的東西，那就趕緊回你的房間睡覺去。想想你怎么會這么自私。我每天工作這么辛苦，得到的竟是這樣幼稚愚蠢的舉動。”

小男孩靜靜地走進自己的房間，關(guān)上了門。這個人坐下后，更加為這個男孩的問題生氣了。這孩子怎么敢問這樣的問題，就為了借些錢呢？大約過了一個小時，他才平靜下來了，開始想：也許他真的需要這10美元買什么東西呢，他并不是經(jīng)常要錢花。

于是這個人走到小男孩的門口，打開了門。

“你睡了嗎，孩子？”他問。

“沒有呢，爸爸。我醒著，”男孩回答。

“我在想，可能剛才我對你太嚴厲了，”父親說，“經(jīng)過漫長的一天，我把怒氣都發(fā)到你身上了。這是你要的10美元。”

小男孩坐直了身子，笑了：“噢，謝謝爸爸！”他忍不住呼喊起來。接著，他伸手到枕頭底下，拿出一把皺巴巴的鈔票。看到男孩已經(jīng)有錢了，父親又忍不住要發(fā)火。小男孩慢慢地數(shù)著錢，然后抬頭看著父親。

“既然你已經(jīng)有錢了，為什么還要更多錢？”父親粗魯?shù)乇г拐f。

“因為我的錢不夠，不過現(xiàn)在夠了，”小男孩回答，“爸爸，我現(xiàn)在有20美元了，我可以買你一小時的時間嗎？請你明天早點下班，我想和你一起吃晚飯。”

While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great

success in many states ?a at least in getting people off welfare.It's estimated

that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994.In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been out in half.But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour.The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent——twice the national average.For advocates(代言人)for the poor, that's an indication much more needs to be done.“More people are getting jobs, but it's not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn，a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996，a greater percentage of single, femalea2headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.but for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as

well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.“Welfare was a poison.It was a toxin(毒素)that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfarea2reform policy analyst.“The reform is changing the moral climate in lowa2income communities.It's beginning to rebuild the work ethic(道德觀)，which is much more important.”

Mr.Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.

important.Everyone has 24 hours in a day.There are 365 days in a year.Once a day runs out in our life, it will never come back again.If we love our lives, we shouldn’t waste time.We must control time.The best way to use time is to plan it well.One morning a countryman went to his goose's nest, and saw a yellow and glittering egg there.He took the egg home.To his delight, he found that it was
