A
I loved everything about school except for one person: Mildred. Every day, as we walked home after school, she would step on the backs of my shoes. Then, when I stopped to put my shoes on, Mildred would hit my back. She scared me.
Soon, my mother found something was wrong. I told her the whole story. My mom told me not to worry and said she had a plan.
The next morning, my mom walked to school with me. Just as we got near my school, we saw Mildred. “Hello, Mildred,” my mom said quietly. Mildred stopped, standing as still as a statue. Her hands and face were bright red. Her oversized coat hung open. There were only two buttons (纽扣) on it.
My mother didn't say anything at first. Instead, she buttoned up Mildred's coat and tidied up her hair. “I'm Marion's mother. We need your help, Mildred.” My mother's hands held Mildred's as she spoke. “Marion doesn't have any brothers or sisters. He needs a good friend who can play with him after classes. Would you like to be Marion's friend, Mildred ”
Mildred's eyes popped (睁大) and then she nodded. “Oh, thank you!” My mother said. “I just know you are someone I can depend on.” Then she hugged us and left as if nothing unusual had happened.
Mildred and I walked on to school. As I looked over at her, I saw that Mildred was smiling! I'd never seen her smile before. We walked home each day after school together and pretty soon we became best friends.
I didn't understand my mom's plan at the time. But finally, I came to understand her message: Love never fails.

(做一个好的倾听者)Being a good listener is one of the most important skills in life. 1.
You can learn something.
By listening to others, you learn how to do things well and how to act in certain situations. If you spend your time talking when you should be listening, you may find yourself lost or in need of help when it comes to carrying out a task.
2.
Sometimes, when a friend is talking to you, you may think about what you are going to say next, not what your friend is saying right then. If you ever find this happening, remind yourself that listening to your friend is the best and most important thing you can do at that time. True friends should care about each other and listen to what he or she says carefully. 3. And don't worry. In all good chats and conversations, you will get a turn to speak. Just make sure that when you are not speaking you are listening.
It teaches you how to communicate.
If you spend time listening to others, you soon learn how to act in different situations. By listening and watching others, you begin to know what good actions can bring and what bad actions can cause. 4. If you listen to someone who is not kind, you will try to avoid imitating (模仿) him or her. Listening to others can teach you how to express how you are feeling, which is a very important skill to have in life.
5. And let's try to understand the differences between hearing your friends and actually listening to them.
A.So, let's all listen as best as we can.
B.However, only a few of us know how to do it.
C.Listening makes you a better friend.
