四、阅读理解
It is not hard to make friends. True friends care and share. You just need to show care to your friends.
A man often bought oranges from an old woman. After paying(付款), he would choose one, try a piece of it and say it tasted bad before giving it back to her. The old woman would eat the orange, smile and say, "It's delicious." But by then, the man was already gone(离开了).
One day, the man's wife asked him, "The oranges are always sweet, so why do you do that?" "The old woman sells sweet oranges, but she never eats them herself. I do this so she'll try one without losing money," the man answered.
A boy saw this happen every day. He asked the old woman, "Why do you keep giving him more oranges even though(即使) he is not friendly to you?" The old woman smiled and said, "I know what he's trying to do. He wants me to eat an orange. So, it's not really like I'm giving him more oranges—his kindness makes up(弥补) the difference."
Caring about others also brings more love to yourself. Let's be kind to others and find happiness in little acts of love.
