One will feel happy when others flatter（ 奉承） him in his face. It is said that the best way of flattering someone is to give him a “top hat” 1 .

A student was going to leave the capital to become  2  official （官員） in a city far away. Before he started, he came to say  3  to his teacher.

“It is  4   job to be a good official.” his teacher said.“ you must be strict  5  yourself and never be careless.”

“Don’t worry about me, sir.” The student answered. “I have already   6   anyone hundred top hats, which will  7  those people quite happy.”

“But we are really gentlemen!  8  could a real gentleman do such a thing ? ” His teacher was a bit _9  . “ Never forget  10  I taught you in class!”

“  11  are always right, sir. I also hate such things. But, sir,   12   no one really gentleman like you can be seen in the world now.” said the student. It seemed that he had to do so.

13hearing this, the teacher was pleased. “What you said is true!”

“I have  14  one top hat already. Now I have ninety-nine  15  .” the student said to his friend later on when he asked the student what he had talked with the teacher about.

Dear Laura,

I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you  1   .

I wanted to do something very   2   for my fifteen – year – old son, who has always been the perfect child. He   3   all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it until it looked almost new. I was so   4   of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.

I could   5   wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening，I went to the kitchen to start the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a   6  : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”

I was so surprised. It had been a long – standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could take lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s response.

I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could   7   this expensive gift.

Of course, the house awoke, and my son was excited with my reaction. Many kisses were   8  , and I immediately wanted him to open my gift.

As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not exactly what I was expecting. Then I   9   that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

Of course I was the proudest mother  10  on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still   11    and lives even in the ever – changing world of me, me, me!

I thought you’d love to   12   this story.

Yours,

                Hilary

P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle.

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world．Since the moment of his birth，I've been part of his life．I had spent seven   1    years in the world with the attention of those around me．But when Rohan was born，life   2  ．Suddenly I had to   3   my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food．

Finally，I felt my    4    at my brother．The poor baby had no idea about what had made me so unhappy．Maybe he found me strange，the only person in this house    5    did not like him．Whatever the reason was，he loved    6    me around．However，I seldom talked to him and   7   asked him to leave me alone．

Then all that changed．I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago，  8    I do remember that I was feeling very angry．Somehow my feet led me to my brother's bed．My hand，completely   9   from my mind，reached through the bars（護欄）．At once，he reached his small hand and softly touched     10  ．And that was all I needed．Through all the unhappiness of the day，that one moment changed   11  ．How could I hate someone who made me feel so important? For the   12    time，I saw my brother，not through the eyes of a child who was no longer favored（寵愛），but through the eyes of a   13   ．

To this day，I can't imagine life   14   my brother．It is unbelievable how much I have  __15    about life from a seven-year-old boy．Above all，Rohan has taught me that one should not care only for himself．
