A very interesting thing happened to me last year．

One night, long after most people had gone to bed, a friend of mine and I went home happily through the quiet street．We had   1   to a musical show（音樂會(huì)）and were talking about the people we had seen and heard in it．

"The show made him   2   overnight（一夜之間）．"My friend said about one of them．" He was unknown before．And now thousands of people   3   him presents and letters．" "I     4   him quite good．" I said, "but not worth thousands of letters．In fact, one of his   5   gave me a shock（震驚）．It gave people too much   6  ．" "What was that?" my friend asked me,"  7  it to me．" I began to sing at the top of my voice．"Oh, no, you will give everybody a shock and   8   them up for kilometers round．Maybe there will be a policeman  9   us．" "Never mind．" I said and  10  singing．

Just at that time there came a policeman   11   in front of me with his note book open．

"  12  , sir," he said, "you have a very good voice, who taught you to sing? I'd very much 13   to find someone who can give my daughter singing lessons, she likes it very much．Would you be  14   enough to tell me your name and  15  ? Then my wife and I will visit you and we can talk about it．"

A gentleman stopped his car at the door of a flower shop. He planned to order flowers and asked the shopkeeper to deliver them to his mother, who was far away in his hometown.

The gentleman saw a little girl crying on the road before he entered the shop. The gentleman asked her: “Why are you crying?”

“I want to buy a rose for my mother, but I haven’t got enough money,” said the girl.

The gentleman took the girl’s hand and entered the flower shop. He first ordered the bouquet (花束) for his mother and bought a rose for the girl.

When he was walking out of the shop, the gentleman asked the girl if she would like a ride home.

“Will you really drive me home?” she asked.

“Of course,” the gentleman replied.

“Then drive me to my mother. But the place where my mother lives is very far.”

The gentleman drove along the mountain road and finally came to the cemetery (墓地).

The little girl put the flower onto a new grave (墳?zāi)?. In order to send a rose to her mother who had died a month before, she had gone on a very long journey.

The gentleman drove the girl to her home and then returned to the flower shop. He cancelled（取消）the bouquet and bought a big bunch (束) of fresh flowers instead. He drove directly to his mother’s home, a five-hour drive from here. He would send the flowers to his mother in person.
