One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet .He held a sign which said,“I am blind. Please help me.”
There were only a few coins（硬币） in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat .He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and ask,“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”
What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

The first is: Treasure(珍惜)what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside--- a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
小题1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk____________.| A．after Mother died. | | B．before she became a writer. | | C．when she was a child | | D．when Mother gave it to her |
小题2: The passage shows that _____________.| A．mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter | | B．mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done | | C．mother cared much about her daughter in words | | D．mother wrote to her daughter in careful words |
小题3:The word “gulf” in the passage means ____________.| A．deep understanding between the old and the young | | B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter | | C．free talks between mother daughter | | D．part of the sea going far in land |
小题4:What did mother do with her daughter’s letter?| A．She had never received the letter. | | B．For years, she often talked about the letter. | | C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. | | D．She read the letter again and again till she died. |
小题5:What is the best title of the passage?| A．My Letter to Mother | B．Mother and Children | | C．My Mother’s Desk | D．Talks between Mother and Me |
