Ben  thought  about  this．Tom  continued  painting  carefully．Sometimes he stopped，stood back to look at the fence like an artist，and then added a bit more paint in just the right place．Ben was watching Tom paint with great interest．He was getting more and more eager to have a try himself．
After a while，Ben asked Tom if he would let him paint a little．Tom thought about it，and said，
"No，Ben，I can't．You see．Aunt Polly wants it to be done well．Aunt Polly said that I must paint it with great care．"
"Oh，please，Tom，"begged Ben．"I can do it．I'll be really careful．Just let me try．I'll give you half of my apple．Well，I'll give you all of it!"
"Well，all right，Ben，"said Tom．"You must be very careful．"
He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart．He sat down under the tree，and started to eat Ben's apple．All day，boys came to make fun of Tom，but they ended up staying to paint．When Ben got tired，Billy was waiting．He gave Tom a kite for a chance to paint．Then Johnny offered him twelve marbles，and so on．
By late afternoon Tom had gained all sorts of toys，and the fence had gained three  coats of paint．Later Aunt Polly came to look at the painted fence．She was so pleased with Tom's work that she gave Tom a large cake!

2．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容，完成表格中所缺的信息．
Some people prefer to make friends with people who are very much like them while others prefer friends who are very different．There are advantages to both types of friendship．If a man chooses a friend similar to himself，there is no problem that they will share many common interests．They may have similar goals in life．This means that they will be able to help each other in achieving their goals．Two people who are very similar will feel comfortable with each other and may understand each other's feelings better．Their friendship may be deeper and last longer．
There are also many advantages of making friends with someone of opposite interests and even character．In this type of friendship，the two people complement （補(bǔ)充） each other．If one is weak in some ways，the other is strong．While two people with similar goals may find themselves in competition，hut those who want different things can always support each other．Those who have different interests can introduce each other to new experience and so enrich （豐富） their knowledge．
  A friend who is unlike me may be challenging，but a simile friend is familiar and safe．
