Anna lived by the river．One summer, there was a very big flood，and a lot of houses were washed away．Anna's house was   1     enough to escape the flood．Her house was still all right when the   2   was gone．

Her house was quite small，her husband was dead，and she had four children，  3   Anna took in one of the families that had lost   4   in the flood．She shared her home with them until it was  5    for them to rebuild their houses．

    Anna’s friends were puzzled when they saw Anna do this．They could not understand why Anna wanted to give herself so much work and    6    when she already had quite a few children to  7    ．

    “Well,”Anna said to her friends, “at the end of the First World Wall a woman in a town found herself very poor, because her husband was   8   in  the war and she had a lot of children, as I have now.

    “The day   9   Christmas, this woman said to her children．’We won't be able to have much for Christmas this year, so I’m going to   10  only one present for all of us．Now I'll go and get it．She   11   with a girl who was even poorer than they were，and   12   had no parents．

    “’Here's our   13  ．she said to her children.”

    “The children were excited and   14  to get such a present．They welcomed the little girl as their   15  ．Such was that present.”

Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife, “I'm going to fly to New York next week because I've got some work there.” “Where are you going to stay there?” His wife asked. “I don't know yet.” Dick answered. “Please send me your address from there in a telegram (電報(bào)),”his wife said. “All right.” Dick answered.
　　He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.
　　In the evening he didn't have any work, so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine o'clock and said, “Now I'm going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner.”
　　He found a taxi and the driver said, “Where do you want to go?” But Dick didn't remember the name and address of his hotel.
　　“Which hotel are my things in?” he said, “And what am I going to do tonight?” But the driver of the taxi did not know. So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram, and in it he wrote, “Please send me my address at this post office.”
