About 10 years ago，when I was a student in college，I took a part time job in the shop at my college's Museum of Natural History.One day，I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair．
As I looked at the girl，I saw that she was seated on her chair.And she had no arms or legs，just a head，a neck and a body.She was wearing a little white dress with red dots (圆点).As the couple wheeled her up to me，I was looking down at the cash register (收银机).
I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink (眨眼).As I took the money from her grandparents，the girl gave me the biggest smile I have ever seen.All_of_a_sudden，her_disability_(残疾)_disappeared.All I saw was this beautiful girl，whose smile gave me a new sense of life.She took me from being a poor，unhappy college student and brought me into her world of smiles，love and warmth.

Once there was a famine (饥荒) in the town.A rich and kind baker (面包师) sent some bread to twenty of the poorest children.He said to them，“In this basket，there is some bread for you.Each of you can have one loaf (一条面包) every day until the hard days end.”
The impatient children couldn't wait to gather around the basket.They shouted and fought for the bread because each wished to have the largest loaf.At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman.But Shirley，a poorly dressed little girl，did not join them.Instead，she remained standing modestly in the distance.When the other children left，she took the smallest loaf left in the basket，kissed the gentleman's hand and went home.
The next day the children were as rude as before.Poor shy Shirley still took the smallest loaf.When she got home，her mother cut the bread open.Many new shining pieces of silver fell out of it.Her mother was very surprised and said，“Take the money back to the good gentleman at once，for it must have got into the loaf by accident.Be quick，Shirley！Be quick！”
But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's message，he said，“No，no，my child.It was no mistake.I put silver into the smallest loaf to reward you because you are a kind and honest girl.Go home，and the money is yours now.”

单元常见错误诊断
病号1：—Show me your homework，Dave.
—Sorry，Mrs Brown.I've forgotten it at home.
【处方】forget sth.表示忘记某物，其后不能接地点；leave＋sth.＋地点状语，意为“把某物遗忘在某地”，故将原句中forgotten改为left。
病号2：—How long have you and your wife got_married
—For over twenty years.
【处方】get married和be married都意为“结婚”，但get married强调动作，不能和一段时间连用。be married则强调婚姻状态，可以和一段时间连用。故将原句中got married改为been married。
病号3：When I got there，he finished his work.
【处方】本句是含有时间状语从句的复合句。从句中got there是过去时态，而主句动作“完成他的工作”发生在got there之前，应用过去完成时。故将原句中finished改为had finished。
病号4：I felt very tired now.Let's stop having a rest.
【处方】stop doing sth.，表示停止做某事；stop to do sth.，表示停下来去做另一件事。根据句意“我现在感到很累，咱们停下来休息一下吧！”可知应该用stop to do sth.句型，故将原句中having改为to have。
病号5：There are five hundreds students in our school.
【处方】hundred数词，意为“百”，当表示具体的“几百”时，用“基数词＋hundred”表示，注意此时hundred不加s。故将原句中hundreds改为hundred。
病号6：My birthday party cancelled because I was ill.
【处方】cancel 动词，意为“取消；终止”。主语可以是人，也可以是抽象的事物，后接名词或代词作宾语，可用于被动结构。原文中，my birthday party作主语，并且是动作的承受者，故将原文cancelled改为被动结构 was cancelled。
