Old George bought the black gloves for just $35 ten years ago. They were made of lamb skin, soft and warm and very strong. Until then, he had worn cheaper manmade material. Those gloves never lasted longer than three years. He first decided to buy the expensive gloves, because they would make him feel nice in front of others.
George never let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves, so they looked new. Losing this favourite thing was almost like losing a child to him.
Bad luck! George lost his expensive gloves on New Year's Day.
Back home, George was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do without a pair of gloves. If he bought cheap ones again, he would have to replace (更换) them very soon. If he bought a new leather pair, it would cost $50 now. He was upset that people no longer returned things they found on the road.
After the holiday, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. Before boarding the subway, he went into Value Mart again to see if his gloves had been returned to the Lost and Found Office (失物招领处).
“What colour are they？” the woman in the office asked again.
“Black，” he gave the same answer. She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men's leather gloves. “Are they？”

Long time ago,there was a poor family in a small village. The family had a son called Jackson. He was a kind boy. He always saved his pocket money to help pay for (支付)his sister’s school fees.
One day，they had no food to eat. Jackson’s mother asked him to go fishing. So he went to the nearby river. He waited for a long time and caught a cod(鳕鱼)at last. The cod said to him， “If you don’t eat me，I will give you a pair of magic scissors(g一把魔术剪刀). And you can use the scissors to cut anything you want.” Jackson believed it and got the scissors.

Yesterday morning when I opened my eyes，it was half past six already. I got up quickly and ran to the bus stop without having breakfast. When I got on the bus，it started raining. “I am sure I can get to the school on time，” I thought. Suddenly， the bus stopped. There was something wrong with the bus. The driver asked us to wait for another one.
“I can’t wait. The school is not far. I can run to school”, I thought. Then I began to run， but it began to rain hard.
I reached the classroom， but I was all wet. The Math teacher， Mr. Li， was in the classroom. We were afraid of him and I didn’t like his Math lessons. I said， “I’m sorry， Mr. Li. I’m late.”
“It’s you again， Wang Bin. I told you not to be late，but you…” He suddenly(突然) stopped and looked at my wet clothes. Then he took off his jacket and gave it to me.
“Now，take off your wet coat and put this one on，” he said kindly.
I went to my seat，wearing Mr. Li’s jacket. It was too big but I felt very warm in it. I found，for the first time，that math class was very interesting，so I learned a lot that day.
