didnt look very handsome with my glasses.In fact,my classmates still laughed at me,just as they did in high school.One day,when I was leaving the science building,someone ran past me and knocked the

voice to his father and said,“With all your money,you gave me a book?”He walked away,leaving it behind.Many years passed without seeing his father.A letter came,telling him his father had passed

have respond to the fire?5.What does the speaker wonder about?Being nasty and impatient has advantages.For example,since I am not nice,I tend to get what I want.People listen to me,and I dont have many problems.There are people in this world who are caring.I suppose it is a good that out world has such people,because they help others.Still,I try not to learn anything from these good people.Goodness,after all,has a price.My friend is one of those good people.He once saved a child from a fire.He was the right man at the right time.The child was lucky.My friend was there and not me.Because I wouldve been reluctant to help.In fact,I probably wouldnt have helped.Fires,you know,are dangerous.By thinking about myself first,Ive saved myself from being hurt or uncomfortable.But sometimes I wonder whether my friend has the better life.
