on the sewing machine. My 11yearold daughter was, in the midst of her project, going to assist her
elder brother in making a little cushion. I left, and after a few hours returned to find a mess in the
kitchen and in the front room, and both children sitting in front of the television.
Having had a long day, I was too tired to greet them and then I noticed the material my daughter
had used. It had been purchased to make a colorcoordinated (颜色协调的) baby blanket, and now
had chunks (块) cut out of almost every piece of fabric. Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the
children and explained how angry I was at what had been done.
My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen
written across her face. She retreated to her room, and spent some time there alone before she came
out to say good night and once again apologized for the mistake she had made.
A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, I found that there on my bed lay a beautiful,
little cushion made out of the forbidden fabric, with the words "I LOVE MOM". Alongside it was a
note apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the fabric.
To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my
actions. It was I who then went to her and apologized for my actions. I display with great pride the
cushion on my bed, and constantly use it to remind me that nothing in this world is greater than a
child"s love.
B. hopefully went back
C. quietly came up
D. quietly went back
B. They cut the material into pieces and used them to clean the TV set.
C. They cut the material into pieces on which they wrote apologizing words.
D. They made a cushion with the material to show their love for Mom.
B. The two children are introverted (内向的).
C. The mother is often rude to her children.
D. The mother is regretful for what she did.
B. a mom"s love
C. a child"s love
D. a child"s complaint

| Crossroads International How does Crossroads work? Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn"t want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that a Crossroads between need and resource. Who do we help? The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(预算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can"t get the job done without backup, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock. How do we operate? Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated(捐赠) . Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight(贷运) ,we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full time staff work on a voluntary basis. Those that donate goods and services: · Factories · Manufacturers · Hospitals · Hotels · Educational Institutions · Householders · Transport Companies · Offices · Other Charities One resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping. What can we do? We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks. If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories, some of the time. You are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate(提供) them. · Clothing Categorization · Sewing · Toy Categorization · Furniture Handing · Book Categorization · Driving · Household Goods Categorization · Office Work · Electrical Goods Categorization · Book Keeping · Stationery Categorization · Fund-raising · Medical Categorization Where to find us? All volunteer work is done at our warehouse: Located in Basement Zone M of the Kai Tak Government Building Our warehouse hours: Tues. -Sat 10:00 am－5 :30 pm Postal Address: 16 Man Tong, Silvermine Bay,Lantau Island, Hong Kong Office details: Tel: 2984 9309 ,2740 9657 Fax: 2984 7452 Email:106122 ,2524@ compuserve. com |
