I tried not to be biased(有偏見的),but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie because I had never had a mentally challenged employee.He was short,a little fat with the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down's Syndrome(唐氏綜合癥).
I shouldn't have worried.After the first week,Stevie had my staff wrapped around his fat little finger,and within a month my regular truck customers had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot(吉祥物).He was eager to laugh and to please,but fierce in his attention to his duties.Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place,not a coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table.Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished.
Over time,we learned that he lived with his mother,a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer.Money was tight,and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home.
One morning last August,Stevie missed work for the first time in three years.He was at a clinic getting a heart surgery.People with Down's Syndrome often have heart problems at an early age so this wasn't unexpected.
Later that morning,Frannie,the head waitress,did a little dance when she heard the good news that Stevie had come through the surgery in good shape and would be back at work in a few months.Belle Ringer,one of our regular trucker customers,stared at her and asked, "Frannie,what was that all about?"
Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers about Stevie's surgery and the trouble his mother had handling all the bills.Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully.
After the morning rush,Frannie walked into my office.She had a couple of paper napkins(餐巾紙)in her hand.
"What's up?"I asked.
"I cleared off that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting,and I found this was folded and put under a coffee cup."
She handed the napkin to me,and three ﹩20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened it.On the outside,in big,bold letters,was printed "Something For Stevie."
That was three months ago.Then came Thanksgiving,the first day Stevie was supposed to be back,and I had arranged to have his mother bring him to work.Leading them toward a large corner booth(包間),I could feel and hear the rest of the staff following behind.

【答案】We stopped in front of the big table covered with coffee cups,all sitting on dozens of folded paper napkins. "First thing you have to do,Stevie is clean up this mess," I said in a calm tone,gesturing toward the tableware.Stevie looked at me,and then his mother,then pulled out one of the napkins.It had "something for Stevie" printed in big,bold letters.As he picked it up,two ﹩10 bills fell onto the table.With an I-don't-get-it look on his face,Stevie stared at the money,then at all the napkins peeking from beneath the coffee cups,each with his name on it.
I turned to Stevie and his mother,saying "Happy Thanksgiving!" Stevie put on an innocent smile,while his mother opened her mouth as if to say something but was choked and speechless.I told them that the ﹩10,000 in cash and checks on that table problems.Soon,it got really noisy,with everybody cheering and shouting,and there were a few tears too.But you know what's funny?While everybody else was busy shaking hands and hugging each other,Stevie,with a big smile on his face,was busy clearing all the coffee cups from the table.

"Happy New Year,papa!"The sitting-room doors were thrown open,and a sweet little girl flashed in.Smiles played around her cherry lips,and her eyes were dancing with sunny light.
"Happy New Year,my sweet one!"responded Mr.Edgar. "May all your New Years be happy,"he added,and with a blessing in his heart.
Little Ellen laid her head against her father's breast.To her it was a Happy New Year's morning,but it was not so with Mr.Edgar,a successful businessman.He was tired of the plot in the business world.He was not happy at all! "For years,"he said to himself,"I have been pursuing the means of happiness,yet happiness itself seems to be still farther in the distance.""Why am I not happy?"But the answer was not given.
After breakfast,Mr.Edgar left home and went to his company.On his way,he noticed a lovely child around the same age as his daughter playing in the yard.Her beauty,which had in it something of innocence (天真),impressed him so deeply that he turned to gain a second look.With the girl was a father and he happened to be Abraham James,who owed(欠) money to Mr.Edgar from their business dealings.Abraham couldn't meet his responsibilities to Mr.Edgar,and as a result,Mr.Edgar said some unkind words.Mr.Edgar had an appointment with a lawyer(律師) today,preparing to charge him and ask for money he was owed.While the money wasn't a significant amount for Mr.Edgar,it meant a lot to Abraham James,who planned to sell his house to come up with the money.
As Mr.Edgar continued on his way,he couldn't forget the cheerful face of the child.Suddenly,he remembered his own daughter's smiling face and sweet morning greeting.He thought,"She must also wish her Daddy a happy New Year.If her Dad isn't happy,will she still wear that innocent smile on her face?"He seemed to have found the way to be happy.

During the summer vacation,a mother planned an exciting trip with her two children.They were set to explore a famous tourist spot,famous for its breath-taking landscapes and attractions.Little did they know that their adventure would take an unexpected turn.
As they arrived at the destination,they were greeted by a sea of people.The place was overflowing with tourists from all over the globe.Excitement filled the air as families began their sightseeing adventures,creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
Eager to begin their own adventure,the mother,holding the hands of her two children,dove into the crowd.However,among the crowded army of tourists,fate had its own plans in store.In the chaos of the massive crowd,the younger son,unaware of the chaos unfolding around him,somehow managed to wander off,unknowingly leaving his family behind.
Suddenly,the mother realized that her younger child was no longer beside her.Panic seized her heart,and a sense of helplessness occupied her.She desperately called out her son's name,her voice trembling with fear.Tears streamed down her face as she scanned the vast sea of people for her son,but there was no sign of him.
