Question

    One day, Tom’s teacher, Miss Mark, held a class meeting. “There will be a flag day next Saturday. Does anyone want to join this meaningful event (活动)?” asked Miss Mark. Tom was interested in raising money for homeless children but he was not brave enough to talk to the strangers, so he kept quiet in his seat.

“Tom. You haven’t sold flags before,” said Miss Mark suddenly. “Would you like to have a try?”Tom was hesitant(犹豫的)，but he finally nodded.

On the flag day, Tom and Angela sold flags in a busy street. “Ex-cuse me, Could y-o-u pl-ea-se buy ...?” said Angela softly to the first person she met. The man smiled and put five-dollar coin into Angela’s collection bag. Then she said thanks and put a flag under his shoulder. “I did it!” said Angela happily. “It’s your turn now.”

Feeling nervous. Tom began to shake. Soon, he saw a young lady walking towards him. The lady was smiling and holding a few coins in her hand. She asked, “Are you selling flags for Fund for the Homeless Children?” Tom’s face became red and said yes. Then the lady made the donation(捐赠) and Tom gave her a flag. “You made it!” laughed Angela.

In the next couple of hours, Angela and Tom sold flags quickly and bravely. At last, their collection bags were so heavy that they had to hold them with both arms. They felt very proud.

【解析】

本文介绍了下周六将有一个募捐售旗日，汤姆对为无家可归的孩子筹款很感兴趣，但他没有勇气和陌生人交谈，所以他在座位上保持安静。在马克老师的鼓励下汤姆同意了参加这个活动。在国旗日那天，汤姆和安吉拉在一条繁忙的街道上卖国旗。安吉拉首先以五美元的价格卖掉了一面国旗，现在该轮到汤姆了。他感到紧张。汤姆开始发抖。不久，他看见一位年轻的女士朝他走来。那位女士微笑着，手里拿着几枚硬币。她问：“你是在为无家可归的孩子卖国旗吗？”汤姆的脸变红了，答应了。然后这位女士捐赠了，汤姆给了她一面旗帜。“你成功了！”安吉拉笑了。在接下来的几个小时里，安吉拉和汤姆很快勇敢地卖掉了国旗。最后，他们的收集袋太重了，他们不得不用双臂抱着。他们感到很自豪。
