A wise man used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning. One day, when he was walking along the shore （海岸）, he saw a young man moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that the young man wasnt dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. He called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man stopped, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?” “The sun is up and the tide（潮汐）is going out. And if I dont throw them in, theyll die.” “But, young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You cant possibly make a difference!” The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted （赋予）with the ability to make a difference. We must each find our starfish. And if we throw starfish wisely and well, the world will be better. ( )1.

B I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my fathers words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year. When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her rrelatives liked the foodshe cooked. During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them. Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no loner “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspapers crossword puzzle. However, she didnt look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word. To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again.” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week Ive had in years!” I suddenly realized that Grandma didnt want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful.( )1.
