32、For some time, businessmen in America have used Ms before a woman's name when they do not know if the woman is married or not.

Today, however, many America women like to use Ms better than Mrs. and Miss. The word Mr. does not tell us if a man is married or not. Many women think this is an advantage for men. They want to be equal to men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know if they are married or not.

There are some problems with Ms, however. Not all women like to use Ms. Some like the older ways of doing things. Some find it difficult to pronounce. But young women usually like it better than older ones do. Perhaps Ms will be used by more American women before long.

“That's true,” the son said. “Perhaps we'd better speak to her doctor about it. He'll know how to break（告诉）the news to her gently.”

They explained the situation to the old lady's doctor.

“I'm glad you told me,” he said, “A shock, even a happy one, could give her a heart attack. Leave it to me. I'll find a way of breaking the news to her.”

He thought about the problem for several days, then decided what he would say. He called on（拜访）the old lady and sat by her beside. He took her hand in his. “Let's play a game, my dear,” he said. “Let's Pretend' game.”

“Oh, yes,” the old lady said. “I love 'Let's Pretend' game.”

“Good. I'll ask you a question first,” the doctor said. “Then you can tell me one.”

He pretended to think for a few moments. Then he said, “Tell me, what would you do if you won a million dollars in the lottery?” “Oh, that's an easy one,” the old lady said. “I'd give most of it to you, doctor, because you have been so good to me all these years. Doctor!”

34、On a cold winter afternoon, I was walking home from a supermarket. I was feeling a little tired, as I was carrying me shopping bags. They were so heavy that I decided to stop to have a rest in the park. I walked towards the gate of the park. I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of me. He was holding a paper bag. He walked to a nearby dustbin and started looking through it.

I suddenly felt sad. I knew this man would take all that he could get, so I went up to him and gave him some fruit. The man, with wrinkles on his face, looked up in surprise and took what I gave him.

A big smile appeared on his face and I felt very happy. Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some delicious fruit.

This is my daughter's lucky day. Thank you, boy.” Then he went away, singing a song.

Just then, I understood what the saying “Giving is getting.” Really meant. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness. Giving sometimes doesn't cost much, but it means a lot to the people who you help.

The man's happiness at the moment comes into my mind every time I have the chance to help others.

35、When Jeff was young, he had always been thin and strong. Now Jeff was forty, and he was fat and very soft. He did not wish to get fatter and softer every year. One day one of his friends said to him, "Would you like to be thinner, Jeff?" "Of course I would," Jeff answered.
