A. It was nine on a cold winter night. I was going home from work on my bike. At the last crossing, while I was waiting for the green light, I saw an old man walking to me. I felt a little nervous. “Excuse me,” the old man said. “Could you please help me?” I looked at him up and down. He seemed to be about 70 years old.

Without taking the money, I rode to the old woman quickly and bought the last one. 1．What was the writer doing when the old man walked to him? ______________________________________________________________________________ 2．How was the weather?_________________________________________________________ 3．Did the old man’s wife see him?_________________________________________________ 4．Where did the story happen?_____________________________________________________ 5．What does the underlined word “everything” mean?_________________________________ B.Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is a special a day to honor our mothers and make them feel special.
