9．Tom and Mike were good friends. Sometimes they were kind to each other. Sometimes they were not. But the other students around them said they were as brothers. One day, they went out for a walk together. At noon, they wanted to eat something and they went into a restaurant to have lunch. The waiter asked them, “What can I do for you?”
“Give me two apples first.” said Tom.When the waiter put the two apples on the table, Mike took the bigger one very fast. Tom got angry. “You are not polite(礼貌). Why didn’t you take the smaller one?” Tom said.“But I was right,” said Mike with a smile. “If I let you take first, which one do you take?”“I will take the smaller one,” said Tom. “Yes,” Mike said, “If you take the smaller one, the bigger one will be mine. Don’t you think so?”[ “Oh,” Tom couldn’t answer.
10． Mrs Black was eighty, but she had a small car, and she always drove to the shops in it on Saturday and bought her food. She didn’t drive fast because she was old, but she drove well and never hit anything. Sometimes her grandchildren said to her, “Please don’t drive your car, Grandmother. We can take you to the shops.” But she always said, “No, I like driving. I began to drive fifty years ago, and I’m not going to shops now.” Last Saturday she stopped her car at the traffic lights because they were red, and then she couldn’t start her car again. The lights were green then yellow, then red, then green again, but her car didn’t start . A policeman came and said to her kindly. “Good morning. Don’t you like any of our colours today?”
