Mr. Dawson was an old man with a bad temper(脾氣). And everyone in town knew it. Kids were afraid to go into his yard to pick apples.

One Friday, 12-year-old Janet and her friend Amy had to walk past Mr. Dawson’s house. When Janet saw him, she suggested crossing the street to the other side. But Amy said they needn’t.

When Mr. Dawson saw Amy, he smiled and said, “Hello, Amy! I see you have a new friend with you today.” Amy smiled back and told him that Janet would stay with her that night. Mr. Dawson looked friendly and gave them each a fresh apple. The girls were glad to get them.

Later Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he is the most unwelcome person in town. Why was he so kind to us?” Amy explained that when she first walked past his house, she was also afraid of him. But she pretended(假裝) there was an invisible (看不見的) smile on his face and so she always smiled back at him. It took a long time, but one day he half-smiled back at her, and then started talking to her.

“An invisible smile?” Janet was puzzled. “Yes,” answered Amy, “My grandma told me to think so. She says smiles can run around. If we keep smiling at someone, sooner or later he will really smile back.”

Remember what Amy’s grandma said, and we will find that most people can’t refuse our smile.

1. What did people feel about Mr. Dawson? （不超過10個詞）

2. Who did Amy learn “an invisible smile” from? （不超過10個詞）

3.What does the writer want to tell us? （不超過20個詞）

Dear William,

It’s 2:25 am. I can’t sleep. There is something that I have to tell you. Our grandfather feels bad and gets very sick. He had a fever for the whole day yesterday. So, Aunt Ruby sent him to the hospital last night. Did your father tell you that? Mike and I planned to go to New Town to visit him this weekend. Do you want to go with us? Maybe we can cheer him up.

Grandpa took care of us when we were little. After grandma died, he spent lots of his time being with us. He helped our parents a lot. He changed diapers (尿布) for us, stayed with us when we were sick, and took us to a park every day. He was so nice to us. We have to do something for him now. As we know, “Time and tide (潮汐) wait for no one; treat the elders well when they are young”.

Please call me when you see this email. I have to buy the train tickets today.

Yours,

Kevin
