Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors 家庭教师, cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic 天主教的 school.
After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn‟t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread 铺开 out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.
Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity 好奇心. She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns 修女?”

“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”

worth more than anything could buy
I worked for a short time as a cashier出纳员 at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable有价值的 in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash现金. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward酬劳 for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone‟s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It‟s true that male mosquito doesn‟t bite咬 and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite.
