A
One night, as Diaz stepped off the train and onto a nearly empty platform, a teenage
boy approached and pulled out a knife.
“He wanted my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, ‘Here you go ’” Diaz
says.
As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something.
If you’re going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my
coat to keep you warm.”
The robber looked at him puzzled, saying, “Why are you doing this?”
Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then you must
really need the money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to
join me…..”
Diaz says he and the teen went into a diner and sat in a booth.
“The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi,” Diaz
says.
The kid said, “You know everybody here. Do you own this place?”
“No, I just eat here a lot,” Dias said. “But you’re even nice to the dishwasher,”
he said.
Diaz replied, “Well, haven’t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”
“Yeah, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.
When the bill arrived, Diaz said, “You’re going to have to pay for this bill because
you have my money and I can’t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I’ll gladly
treat you.”
The teen returned it immediately. “I gave him $20…. I figure maybe it’ll help him.”
Diaz says he asked for something in return--- the teen’s knife--- “and he gave it to me.”
Afterwards, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, “You’re the type of
kid that if someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch.”

right. It’s as simple as it gets in this complicated world.”

Andy loved the first grade. He loved his teacher，Mrs.Parks. He loved playing games on
the playground. He loved learning about dinosaurs and the solar system (恐龙和太阳系)．
Every morning Andy’s mother dropped him off in front of his school on South Street.
One foggy morning，the traffic was so bad on South Street that she decided to drop him off
behind the school. Andy walked for about ten minutes and got to the gate. He held the icy
handle，but it didn’t move！Using both hands，he tried his hardest and finally the gate
opened.
After Andy closed the gate behind him，he looked in the direction of the teaching building.
But all he could see was fog. He got to the spot where the slide had always been，but it
was not there.“The slide is gone！” he cried. He walked a little more to look for the swings，but they were not where they had always been.“The swings are gone！” he cried again.
Andy kept walking. He was so anxious to see the school that he fell and landed on the
ground. He still couldn’t see the school. A terrible thought appeared in his head.“The
school is gone！” he cried sadly. No more games with Jennie，Angel and Dillon，he thought.
No more reading about dinosaurs. No more watching videos on the solar system...
Suddenly the boy saw something up ahead.“It’s Jennie！”he shouted. Then he saw the
outline of a school building. His school was still there！He was full of excitement!
“Hi，Jennie！” he stood up and caught up with the girl.“I couldn’t see the school.
I thought it was gone.” Jennie just laughed.“You’re so silly.” “What happened to the
slide and the swings？” Andy asked.
“We will have new playground equipment today，” Jennie answered.“The old equipment
was taken away last night. Don’t you remember Mrs. Parks telling us about it yesterday？”
“I guess I forgot，” Andy said，smiling.“Anyway，I’m glad the school is here.”
55. It can be concluded from the passage that________．
A．Andy’s mother might feel sorry for her son
