“Good afternoon!Remember tomorrow is Crazy Day,so you are welcome to do anything crazy,” boomed a voice through our school speakers.
“Crazy Day?What does that mean?” I asked my ESL teacher,Mrs Ramsey.She answered,“On this day,everyone dresses up like a crazy person.” She suggested I make a strange hairstyle or wear two different shoes.However,I decided that I would wear my T-shirt backwards.
The next day as I walked into the classroom,everybody looked so funny:Mrs Toalson had curled her hair into large curls and my classmate Bradley had coloured his hair white!I thought he was an old person when I first saw him.
“Hi,Jim,you look weird!How do I look?” My friend Taylor asked.She was wearing an old hat that looked like it came from the 17th century paired with a cute and trendy skirt.It reminded me of women from ancient times mixed with a 21st century woman who chewed gum during school.
The next day,I received a note from school that said “Tomorrow is Pajama(睡衣)Day.” “Should I wear my pajamas to school tomorrow?What if tomorrow is not Pajama Day?What if the note is just a joke?” I worried.“What if tomorrow I am the only one wearing pajamas?I will look silly and strange!” I decided to be safe and not wear my pajamas.
As I walked into the classroom the following day,I was amazed how my classmates were dressed!They were all wearing pajamas!Some of them even brought their dolls and Barbies with them!I deeply regretted not wearing my pajamas.

Years ago,my wife and I volunteered at a homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles,US,preparing meals for thousands of people.I got to talk with one of the guys in line,Albert.He said he liked my socks.“Want to see mine?”he asked,lifting his leg.He was barefoot.He said he had been meaning to buy a pair but he hadn’t got around to it.I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.
The next day,after work,I stopped at Ross and filled up a cart with socks.I stuffed my trunk with them.That next morning,I set my alarm for 5 a.m.and drove over to Santa Monica’s Palisades Park,which is a common destination for homeless people.
I took one of the bags from my trunk.It was still darkout.I headed for a group of three men,standing around a tree,probably using it as a windbreaker.Two were asleep under heavy blankets,and the third was digging through his collection.As I walked toward him,he watched me,perhaps questioning my motives.“I thought you guys might need some fresh new socks,”I said,handing him a pair.He looked confused at first but took them and said,“Thank you.”I gave him two more pairs for his friends.
I moved on.An hour later,I had given out all the socks.Most people were sleeping,and I felt like Santa.I knew that when they woke up they would find a very meaningful present.
That was nine years ago.Every week I’ll hand out as many socks as I can.If I’m on vacation or on a business trip for more than a week,I bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries.
It’s extremely satisfying to operate “under the radar” to help make some people’s lives a little bit easier.Part of me hopes to see Albert out there one of these days,but even if I don’t,I like to think one of the pairs will find him.
1.What caused the author to hand out socks to the homeless?
A. Albert’s desire to get free socks.
B. The approach of Christmas Day.
C. His hard work at a homeless shelter.
D. The conversation between him and Albert.
2.Which is true about the author according to the passage?
A. He believed it felt good to help the homeless.
B. He went to Ross to buy a pair of socks for Albert.
C. He handed out socks to the homeless as Christmas gifts.
D. He was often questioned about why he was giving out socks.
3.What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Santa Claus brings Christmas gifts
B. Kindness is rewarded with kindness

When your friends suddenly stop talking to you, it can leave you confused on what to do next. 1. However, basically, your friends are either really upset with you, or it has nothing to do with you at all. But how can you tell? What’s more, what should you do?
Find out if they have shut all their friends out or just you. It’s important to figure out if your friends have moved on from everyone, or just you. If it’s just you, then you probably did something at some point. 2. They try to get their forgiveness.

Communicate in a different way. There’s always the possibility that your friends haven’t shut you out completely, but they are bored with a certain form of communication, like texting or chatting online. 4. If so, trying a different method to reach your friends could make things better.
