One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?
In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.

On a cold winter afternoon, Susan was walking home from a supermarket. She was feeling a little 46 , as she was carrying her shopping bags. They were 47 heavy that she decided to have a rest in the park. Then she noticed a poor man 48 in front of her. The man was holding a paper bag. He walked to a rubbish bin(箱) and started looking 49 it.
Susan suddenly felt sad. She knew this man would take all that he could get. So she went up to him and gave him some fruit. The man looked up in 50 and took what she gave him.
A big smile appeared on his face and she felt very happy. Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then the orange juice, and now some delicious 51 . This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you, girl.” Then he went 52 , singing a song.
Just then, Susan understood 53 the saying “Giving is getting” really meant. Everyone in the world needs help; everyone can offer help and everyone will 54 by showing kindness.
