The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck twelve."Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy ."
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate now. I forgot all I had learnd. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

When I was a small child，my parents didn’t have many money and I had very few Christmas gifts. My cousin was ten and he had gone out singing Christmas songs and made quite a bit money. Without tell anyone he went to the shop and spent almost every penny of his money in a teddy bear. Then he was used the change to buy a little necklace with a glass charming (迷人的) heart on them. He came to my house and told my parents what he had bought these things for me as Christmas gift. Twenty-five years later the teddy bear has been thrown away, but I even have the little necklace in my jewelry box to remind me of my cousin kindness.
