Poor, but so rich at heart
Two years ago, my parents died in a car accident. __(A)__then, my elder brother and I have had to work part-time to make a living. I have been working as a part-time waiter in a restaurant for six months, and now I’ve just got my salary(薪水).
I was walking back to school and saw the notice board in the lobby(大厅). There was a notice __(B)___ for donations for the earthquake. A girl called Amanda was reading the same notice.____(C)____. You could see that easily from her fancy clothes and gadgets(小玩意儿).
“Aren’t you going to donate?” I asked, (D)“People there must be having a really hard time. All their houses have been destroyed by the earthquake. They’ve got nothing ____(E)____, no place to live, nothing to eat or…”
“Sorry, I don’t have money to spend on that!” she laughed. “I have 10 new dresses to buy. I need to get a new phone. And then I’m ____(F)___ to fly to Paris for the weekend.” (G)With these words, she walked away.
I took the money from my pocket and walked to Mrs. Tawreen’s office.
“Excuse me, ma’am.” I said. “I don’t have too much for a donation, just 300 yuan. Could I just donate this?”
Mrs. Tawreen smiled: “Wow, 300 yuan, my dear? Well, (H)I have to tell you that, of all the donations we’ve received from our students so far, it’s the largest amount. And yes, you may donate right now.”
I put the notes into the donation box. Maybe my brother and I would have to miss a few meals this month, but it would make a difference to the lives of those less fortunate(幸运的) than us.
