Last October, I told my pupils in Pompton School about my plan. “I'd like you to do jobs to make some 1 .” I said. “Then we'll buy food for someone in need.”
I wanted them to experience that it's 2 to give than to receive. I hoped they could experience a sense of their own ability to make a change.
Early in Thanksgiving week, the children couldn't wait to 3 . Before paying for the turkey and other food we chose in the supermarket, Kristine cried.
“Flowers!” And the group all ran toward the holiday 4 .
“You can't eat flowers!” I said 5 . After all, it was helpful to buy more food. “But Mrs Sherlock,” came the loud 6 , “we want flowers.”
In the middle of the plants, there was a pot of unusually purple mums. “ 7 will like this one,” the children agreed.
8 the address of a poor grandmother who had lived alone for years, we set off. An hour later, we stopped in front of a small house. A thin woman with a 9 face came to meet us.
As the kids carried all the food in, the old woman oohed and aahed—much to her visitors' pleasure. When Amy put the mums on the table, the woman seemed 10 . “She's wishing it was a bag of food,” I thought.
“ 11 is your close friend in the woods?” Michael asked.
The woman brightened. “The birds. They often fly over for food 12 I share my bread with them.” She said.
Then we returned to the car. Through the window we saw her walk past the turkey, straight to the 13 . She put her face in them and looked up with a big smile. She was 14 before our eyes!
In that one short moment, the children had seen for themselves the 15 they owned to make a change. Sometimes a person needed a pot of nice purple flowers on a dark November day. ( )1.A.friends ( )2.A.cheaper

Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know that trouble was coming.
In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic(北极的) darkness, had discovered a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation(运输) companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles(肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.
Buck lived at Judge Miller's house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables(马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the Judge's sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire. He was the king—king over everything, crawled(爬行的), walked, or flew at Judge Miller's place, including humans.
Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike

pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener's helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble(赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure.
On the night of Manuel's betrayal(背叛), no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck's neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened(收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim(浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car.
