She is a cute, quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, not so open as before: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age. After all, she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother’s mind.

   One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmates and would return late. This was the first time her mother had agreed, and she couldn’t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness(不安) got the upper hand over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and ---there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mum, I’m back.” “Yeah.” “Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?” “Yes, Oh, that… Who’s that boy?” The daughter was stunned (发愣) for a moment. “Ah. It’s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I’m going to bed” “All right. Go to sleep early.”

   Next morning, when the mother went to the daughter’s room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow. After a few minutes’ hesitation she finally opened it to the entry of the night before. It read: Mum, it was love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn’t. Holding the diary, the mother fell in thought.

Do you know this girl?

I was in the park with my elder sister, Cathy, on Friday. My sister left her jacket on a chair while we talked to some friends. When we went back to the chair, a girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there. She had some money in her hand. When she saw us, she got up and walked away.

I asked my sister, "Did you have any money in your jacket?"

She said, "Yes, Anna, I did."

I said, "Look in your jacket quickly."

Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there.

"That girl stole it!" I said, and we both ran after her. We caught her quickly.

My sister was very angry and she said, "Give me the money." The girl gave the money to Cathy and ran away. We both ran after her, but we lost her.

Then we went home. But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy, "You left your money at home. It's on the table in the sitting room. You must be more careful with money."

So the girl in the red T-shirt was not a thief! She probably thought we were thieves! We felt terrible.

Please telephone us if you know this girl! We are very sorry for our mistake. We would like to say sorry to her and give the money back to her.

Our number is 512667. My name is Anna.

I still remember the day I was driving to the supermarket I own. When I came out, I found a boy 31 my car with a brush. I went over and patted (拍) him on the shoulder, which surprised him very much. In no time he began to 　32 at me, so I was sure he 　33 some money. From the shoes he was wearing I could hardly imagine how poor he was. So I offered him a $100 bill. To my great surprise, he 　 34 to take it. When I was wondering what he was doing, he said, “I was waiting here for 4 hours, waiting for you. Your 　35 is so beautiful and I like it, but I don’t need that.” I knew he was mentioning the 　36 .

As he had refused the money, I offered to drive him around the town. The boy became so 　37 that he got into the car at once, “Would you please drive me 　38 ? It is only about 3 miles.” What the boy wanted to do was to show off to his friends and his family.

　 　39 I stopped, he jumped out and ran into an old building, telling me to wait there for some time. Very soon he came out, saying to a little girl on his back, “Look at this beautiful car. I will buy you one some day.”

I noticed his sister had a pale (苍白的) face. 　40 , her legs were too thin, and she was unable to 41 .

After that day I went to his home several times. And I got to know more about him and his 　42 . Poor as they were, the boy once again refused my money, and said, “I can 　43 money by myself, thank you.”

Soon I 　44 my manager of the supermarket that a boy would go to 　45 here the next day.

No matter how poor we are, we would never give in to ourselves.
