8．When I was 12，all I wanted was a signet （图章） ring．They were the"in"thing and it seemed every girl except me had one．On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials（姓名首字母） carved into it．I was in heaven．
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being"replaced"．We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything-so most of the"new"stuff （东西） we got was really just to replace what we'd lost，but not my ring．My ring was new．
Then，only one month later，I lost it．I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning．I was sad and searched everywhere for it．But it seemed to have disappeared．At last，I gave up and stopped looking for it．And two years later，we sold the house and moved away．
Years passed，and a couple of moves later，I was visiting my parents'when Mum told me that she had something for me．It wasn't my birthday，nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion（时机）．Mum noticed my questioning look．"You'll recognize this one，"she said，smiling．
Then she handed me a small ring box．I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside．
The family who had bought our house 13years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations，which included replacing the carpets．When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom，they found the ring．As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the ring．They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother．And it still fits me．

7．Uncle Caesar was waiting outside the hotel the next afternoon．He took me to Miss Adair's house and agreed to wait there until we had finished our business．
Miss Adair did not look well．I explained the agreement （协议） to her．She signed it．Then，as she started to rise from the table，she fainted （晕倒） and fell to the floor．I picked her up and carried her to the old red sofa．I ran to the door and yelled to Uncle Caesar for help．He ran down the street．Five minutes later，he was back with a doctor．
The doctor examined Miss Adair and turned to the old black driver．"Uncle Caesar，"he said，"run to my house and ask my wife for some milk and some eggs．Hurry!"
Then the doctor turned to me．"She does not get enough to eat，"he said．"She has many friends who want to help her，but she is proud．Mrs Caswell will accept help only from that old black man．He was once her family's slave．"
"Mrs Caswell？"I said in surprise．"I thought she was Miss Adair．"
"She was，"the doctor answered，"until she married Wentworth Caswell twenty years ago．But he's a hopeless drunk who takes even the small amount of money that Uncle Caesar gives her．"
After the doctor left，I heard Caesar's voice in the other room．"Did he take all the money I gave you yesterday？""Yes，Caesar，"I heard her answer softly．"He took both dollars．"
I went into the room and gave Miss Adair fifty dollars．I told her it was from the magazine．Then Uncle Caesar drove me back to the hotel．

6．Once upon a time，there was a happy monkey in the forest，eating delicious fruit when hungry and resting when tired．
One day he got up very early and came upon a house，where he saw a bowl of the most beautiful apples he ever seen．He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest，He sniffed（闻）the apples but smelled nothing．He tried to eat them but hurt his teeth．The apples were made of wood，but they were beautiful．When he saw other monkeys，he held them even more tightly（紧紧地）．The little monkey took pride in his apples．He loved them so much that he didn't even notice his hunger at first．A fruit tree reminded him of  it，but he didn't want to put down the wooden apples．In fact，he couldn't relax，either．He couldn't climb trees to get fruit with his hands full，so the proud but less happy monkey kept walking around．
What if he just let go？Letting go of such valuable things seemed crazy，but what else could he do？He was so tired．Seeing the next fruit tree，he dropped the wooden apples to have breakfast．He became happy again．
Like the little monkey，we sometimes carry things that seem too     to let go．If the monkey hadn't let the wooden apples go，he might have been found dead because of hunger，under a beautiful fruit tree，with his wooden apples in his hands．
