It was a cold evening. An old man had been standing by the river for hours. His beard was frozen while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. He watched anxiously (焦虑地) when several horsemen came around the corner.
He let the first one pass by without trying to get his attention. Then another passed by, and another. Finally, the last rider came near. As this one drew near, the old man said. “Sir. would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?”
The rider replied. “Sure thing. Get on.” The horseman took the old man not just across the river, but to his home, which was a few miles away.
As they neared the man’s village, the horseman asked. “Sir, I noticed that you let several other riders pass by without trying to ask for a ride. Then I came up and you asked me for a ride at once, Why? What if I had refused (拒绝) and left you there?” The old man replied. “I know people pretty well. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and saw that they didn’t care about me. It would have been useless to ask them for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, ________. I knew that you would help me.
These heartwarming words touched the horseman. “I’m so thankful for what you said.” he told the old man.” I hope I never get too busy to help others.” With that, Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the White House.

Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the white rabbit anywhere.
She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked (上了锁的). “How will I get out again?” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.
