I drove to a local supermarket the other day. My shopping list was and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could it all.
As I the door, I saw a man with kind eyes and a gentle . He said he was collecting for a local food bank that helped to the hungry in my area. He handed me a second shopping list of things they could use and asked me to if I could. I smiled back, took the and walked into the store. I really wanted to help, but wasn’t sure if I could this time.
I walked through the store, picking up vegetables, soup, spaghetti, bread, milk, cereal, macaroni, bananas, and a dozen other things. I slowly each item off my list until I was done. When I looked down at my full cart I again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then, as I put my own list back into my pocket, I saw the food list under it. I smiled and decided to trust my heart.
With the food bank in mind, I went over and two of the biggest boxes of rice the store had and put them in my cart. It took six dollars out of my wallet to pay for them, my heart felt six times larger when I did. And when everything was , I had just enough to pay for it all.
It so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a child’s belly(肚子). A smile and hug can help to a hurting heart. An encouraging word can inspire someone else to live and to love. A random of kindness can change another’s day and life. It is up to us, . If we can a few dollars on rice , then we can share a love that will last forever.

He graduated with high scores at the age of 16 and entered Harvard Law School at 18.
Gifted with an amazing IQ between 220 and 230, Terence Tao makes it to this list of the people with the highest IQ in the world. Born in Adelaide, Australia in 1975, this genius first displayed his incredible intelligence at a mere age of 2, when he managed to solve basic arithmetic questions on his own. At the age of 16, he graduated with both Master"s and Bachelor"s degrees at the Flinders University.

He had tried everything he could think to do. seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he like this, the more unhappy he became.

Gift Idea
The other day I was shopping for Grandma when I realized I had no gift ideas at all．It was not a birthday gift or anything like that．It was simply sort of a hello gift．That is how we do things in my family．We don"t really give gifts for special occasions．Instead, we occasionally just give presents to each other to tell other people that we are thinking about them．
That was why I wanted a gift for Grandma．But it was like my imagination had dried up． I have gone through all of the gift ideas in previous years, fruits, wines, cheeses, little handmade crafts, and anything else that you can give to a grandmother．I had even given her gift watches, and CDs．What else was there?
I have always found gift ideas for men a little bit easier than for women, because for men, you can always get the usual things, such as video games, power tools and things like that．With a woman"s gift idea, however, you have to know more about her．You cannot just get someone a book or a CD．You have to know all about her taste in movies, music, and literature．
My grandmother likes to read a lot, but what she likes is always pretty popular．I didn"t want to get her a book that she might not like, but I was running out of time．I needed a gift idea for this weekend and went to visit her．After all, I hadn"t seen her for a long time．I wanted to give her a gift so she would not feel ignored．
Finally, I came up with the perfect gift idea．I made a collection of all the stories I had written in the past year．It wasn"t a typical gift idea like a bunch of flowers, but it really worked in the situation．You see, I am a writer and my grandma has always been my fan．
Anyway, I had been learning about bookbinding recently, and had pretty much mastered the art．I figured that I would add a little bit of handmade artwork to the stories, bind it altogether, and give it to her．It took hours to complete, but it was well worth the effort．She absolutely loved it．
小题1:The writer chose a gift for Grandma to _____．| A．celebrate a special family occasion | | B．please her during a weekend visit | | C．congratulate her on her birthday | | D．beg her pardon for ignoring her |
小题2:What gift did the writer finally decide to give his grandma?| A．Gift watches． | | B．A bunch of flowers． | | C．Artwork made by hand． | | D．Stories written by himself． |
小题3:How does the writer feel about giving gifts to women?| A．Interesting． | B．Challenging． | | C．Time-wasting． | D．Popular． |
小题4:We can learn from the passage that ______．| A．the writer is a successful novelist | | B．most people are particular about gifts | | C．the writer"s grandma has a good taste in art | | D．the writer"s family will give gifts on regular days |
