“You only think about the earth,” Blue interrupted, “but consider the sky and the sea. The sky gives space, peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing.”
Yellow shouted, “You are all so serious. I bring laughter and warmth into the world. Without me there would be no fun. “
Orange started next, “ I am the color of health and strength. My beauty is so attractive that no one gives another thought to any of you. “
Red could stand it no longer, so he shouted out, “I am the ruler of all of you. I am the color of danger and of bravery. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. “

Compassion(同情) is a wish within us to help others. Only with effort can we turn compassion into real actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true.
I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash(现金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing to eat. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help looking at him seriously. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this old gentleman, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked even poorer. “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed, either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ______.
A. promised to obey the store rules
B. forgot to take any money with him

Without Thomas Edison, the world might still be in the dark. He lit up the whole world with the electric light. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented 1200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.
Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. He started experimenting at a young age.他花了很多时间寻找第一份工作。When he was 12 years old, he became a newsboy on a train. He did experiments on the train in his spare time. Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him because the train caught fire by accident. Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to make his experiments.
