    That day was like any other day in his life. After school Michael walked past the shop in the street corner. He stopped to1the front row of shoes, and he felt sorry for himself. He2wanted to have a pair of shoes for his birthday.

    He walked away sadly and thought of what to tell his mother. He knew she would give him 3if she could. But he also knew very well she had 4money. He decided not to go home 5, as he looked worried and his mother would notice it. So he went to the park and sat down on the grass. Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair. He noticed that the boy moved the wheels with his hands. Michael looked at him carefully and was 6to see that the boy had no feet. He looked 7at his own feet. "It is 8better to be without shoes than 9feet." he thought. There was no reason for him to 10so sorry and sad. He went away and smiled, thinking he was more lucky in his life.

    Mr. and Mrs. Turner live outside a small town. They have a big farm and they are always busy working on it. Their son, Peter, studied at a middle school. The young man studied hard and did well in his lessons. It made them happy.

    Last month Peter finished middle school and passed the entrance examination (升学考试). Mrs. Turner was very happy and told the farmers about it.

    Yesterday morning the woman went to the town to buy something for her son. On the bus she told one of her friends how clever and able her son was. She spoke very loudly. All the people in the bus began to listen to her.

    "Which university (大学) will your son study in?" a woman next to her asked.

    "In the most famous university in our country!" Mrs. Turner said happily.

    "The most famous university?"

    "Oxford University (牛津)."

    Most of the passengers (乘客) looked at her carefully. Some of them said to her, "Congratulations!"

    A woman said, "I'm sure he'll know Fred Smith."

    "Who's Fred Smith?"

    "He's my son."

    "Does he study in the university, too?"

    "No," said the woman. "He is one of the professors."
