【题目】 It was a cold day and I had no desire to drive to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she had insisted I see something on top of the mountain. So here I was, unwillingly making the two-hour journey through fog.
After I parked the car, we walked along a path with thick pine needles and huge evergreens towering over us. Gradually, the peace and silence began to fill my mind. Then we turned a corner and stopped—and I breathed in amazement!
From the top of the mountain, covering several valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙花) in bloom. All kinds of colors spread like a carpet before us. It looked as if the sun had spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of roses. Here and there were colorful tulips(郁金香). How fantastic the wonder was!
A lot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?
Nearing the center of the garden, we saw a sign that read: 'Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.' The first answer was: 'One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.' The second was: 'One at a Time.' The third: 'Started in 1958. '
As we drove home, I was so moved that I could scarcely speak. 'She changed the world,' I finally said, 'one bulb at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.'

One day I saw a girl riding a bike along the street. All of sudden, she knocked down an old man whom was crossing the street. Instead of helping him up, the girl blames him angrily for the accident. Then he rode away even without looking back. A moment late, she found her shoes on the back of the bike missed. She raced back immediately to the spot where the accident was happened. Much to her surprised, she saw the old man waiting for her. The girl felt real ashamed when the old man handed the shoes to her.
