It was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables, when a young man asked me, “Can you tell me where the _______ counter is?”

“Well, the milk is in the lower right corner,” I replied.

Picking up my things, I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man _______ almost 10 bottles of milk.

I asked, “Do you need a basket or a trolley (手推車)?”

“Sure, thank you,” he answered.

I was _______ he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk.

I laughed and asked, “Why so many bottles?”

He smiled and said, “These are for my street _______. Today, I want to be a Santa for them.”

I said, “Well, it’s too _______ for you to be a Santa. It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”

He turned at me and walked a few steps, as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying anything.

Luckily, we met again at the bread counter.

“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr. Santa.”

He smiled and said, “Yes. These are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June. Santa is a representation (象征) of surprises and _______. Santa comes in December as we _______ him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us that shines through our personality at some point time, no matter which month it is. Maybe when you offered help to me by getting me a trolley, there was a _______ Santa in you. When we offer food to a poor man or a(n) _______ to someone who is caught in the rain, we are being Santa there. So when you offer help to others or get help from others, just think that Santa has come all the way for you.”

He left and I was happy that I had met him. It was right to understand that Santa can come before Christmas. We just need to realize that he is ________ us by spreading happiness and unconditional love.

A lady and her husband walked into the president of Harvard’s outer office. “We want to see the president,” the lady said softly. Looking at the couple who wears usual clothes, the secretary said, “He’ll be busy all day.” “We’ll wait,” the lady replied.

For hours, the secretary did nothing for them, hoping that they would finally go away. They didn’t. “Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they’ll leave,” the secretary finally told the president.

The president looked down at the couple. The lady told him, “We had a son that had studied in Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. But he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to build something for him in Harvard. “Madam,” the president said angrily, “we can’t put up a statue(雕像) for every person who attended Harvard and died.”

“Oh, no,” the lady explained quickly, “we mean we would give a building to Harvard.” The president looked at their usual clothes, and then said, “A building! Do you know how much a building costs? It took us over seven and a half million dollars to build Harvard.”

The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to start a university?” Her husband nodded. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they built a university with their name—a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

How are we supposed to treat others who can do nothing for us? Don’t judge a person by his appearance.

1.Why did the secretary do nothing for the couple at first?

___________________________________________

2.Was the president of Harvard friendly to the couple?

3.According to the story, how much did it cost to start a university?

閱讀下面的短文，將畫(huà)線的句子譯成英文或中文。

“What would have happened if I hadn’t lost that necklace? Who knows? ” Mathilde’s heart is filled with sadness and regret...This is the tragedy and ironic（諷刺的） ending of “The Necklace”written by Guy de Maupassant（居伊.德.莫泊桑）.

The story takes place in Paris. One day, Pierre gets an invitation to a palace ball. He thinks it important to him, and decides to go to the party with his wife Mathilde, a young woman who admires upper-class lifestyle very much.

65.Hearing the news, she gets worried and nervous instead of excitement and happiness, She is so poor that she has no new dress and no jewelry（珠寶） to wear, 66.她甚至可以想象她會(huì)被別人嘲笑。

Her husband spends 400 francs on a new dress and she herself borrows a diamond（鉆石） necklace from her good friend Jeanne .67.這對(duì)夫婦在宮廷舞會(huì)上感到非常成功。But on their way home, she finds the necklace is no longer around her neck. They rush back to look for it. But they can’t find it .The young couple borrow a great deal of money and buy a necklace that is exactly like Jeanne’s. It costs them 36,000 francs.68.So they have to work day and night to pay back the money they have borrowed. After ten years of hard work to pay back all the money, Mathilde looks so old that Jeanne even can’t recognize her when they meet. When Jeanne hears the story, she tells Mathilde the necklace isn’t a real diamond necklace. It is worth 500 francs at most.

Vanity (虛榮)may lead to the loss of ourselves. Accept who we are ! 69. Be true to ourselves or others, and it will lead us to get happiness.
