My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlynd, and I stopped at a bakery for some bread. As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.
This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and some blue hair on top of it. One of his nostrils was pierced (穿孔), and his ears were full of rings. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under 45 . Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped when she saw the teen.
I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot. I was wrong. My Grand Angel backed up against the door and opened it as 46 as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a kind “Thank you very much”.
On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her 47 in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be 48 by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmotherly talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.
It 49 that the person who needed the talk was me. The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teen, was the fact that his arms were full. “He would’ve had a hard time to open the door.” I saw the partially shaved head, the blue hair, the piercings and the earrings. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door. I’m always the one who is so quick to judge. In the future, I hope to get down on her 50 and raise my sights.

The advertising has gone on for years: Smart homes are now available. There are coffee pots that turn on when the alarm clock rings. There are fridges that send an alert when the milk runs out. These smart home appliances are greatly c 51 our lives.
However, it seems f 52 people are making their homes smart. According to a U.S. survey, only six percent of American families have a smart appliance. So why are smart home appliances having a hard time reaching the market We think there are several r 53 .
First, a lot of smart appliances are just fun. Their new features are not really n 54 . Many of these appliances are too expensive. One of Samsung’s smart fridges has cameras inside of it. It can allow the user to know what he is short of while he is shopping. However, the fridge sells for $5,000. People who can a 55 it probably don’t do their own shopping. For the rest of us, we r 56 check the food in our fridges, don’t we Why do we need a smart fridge
Besides, the technology is not yet perfect. There are complaints that smart appliances sometimes stop working or become “dull”. There is also a lack of standards(标准). As a result, appliances from d 57 companies cannot “communicate” with each other.
Do you look forward to a smart home Are you willing to pay for smart appliances

Anna lived on the side of a valley (山谷). One winter, there was a very big flood, and a lot of houses were washed away. Anna’s house was high enough to escape the flood. So, when the water had disappeared, her house was not damaged.

“The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, ‘We won’t have much for Christmas this year, so I am going to get only one gift for all of us and I am sure we will all be glad to have it. Now I’ll go and get it.’ She came back with a little girl who was even poorer than they, and who had no parents. ‘Here is our gift,’ she said to her children.”
“The children were very excited and happy to get such a gift. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister. I was that Christmas gift.”
