"Where's that boy gone？"
The old lady looked all around the room．She looked under the bed but found only the cat．
"If I catch that boy， …" she murmured to herself．
She opened the door and looked out into the garden．
"Tom!" she shouted．
Then she heard some noise behind her．She turned round just in time to catch the boy as he came out of a cupboard．
"And what have you been doing there？"
"Nothing，" said the boy．
"Nothing!Look at your hands and your mouth!What is that stuff？"
"I don't know，Aunt"
"Well，I know．It's a jam．I've told you forty times that if you touched that jam，I'd skin you．Give me that stick（棍）．"
"Look out，Aunt!Look behind you!"
The old lady turned round and Tom was out of the door in a second，over the garden fence and away．
"Damn that boy!Will I never learn？He's always playing tricks on me．And he seems to know just now how far he can go too．But I can't take a stick to him．I really can't．After all，he's my dead sister's boy．Ah well，he'll miss classes today and I'll have to make him work tomorrow．"
At supper Aunt Polly tried to trick Tom into admitting that he didn't go to school．
"It was very hot today，wasn't it，Tom？"
"Yes． " answered Tom．
"You didn't have to open your shirt collar where I sewed （縫） it，then．"
Tom was confident now．He opened his jacket．His collar was well sewed．
"Oh Tom， " said Aunt Polly． "You're a good boy really．"
She was sorry that she had been wrong about him．
"But Aunt，" came a voice．It was Sidney，Tom's younger brother． "Didn't you sew Tom's collar with white cotton？Look!Now it's black．"

3．That day was Random Acts of Kindness Day.
A random act of kindness is usually unexpected and unplanned.Maybe help someone carry groceries（雜貨）.Maybe pay for a stranger's coffee.Or maybe send a helpful note to a friend.
I remembered，at a shopping mall，I saw a man sitting on the ground with a sigh，said"Please help."
I often give ＄20 to people like him，but now I decided to invest（投入） some time as well.I stopped and said，"Come on，brother.Pick up your things and let's get you some groceries."
As we walked back into the mall，I learned that he had a place to live，but no money to buy food.
Anyhow，he shared his story and I still wanted to help him.We started with some fruit and vegetables.He chose some tomatoes first，then got some carrots and onions.I asked him what else he wanted，he said meat.
He told me he had two boys，a big pack of noodles went in the basket.He also asked if he could get some toothbrush，of course，fine.
I was not sure exactly what had happened to this man，but his smile was genuine（真誠(chéng)的）.He only took what he really needed.I know I won't do this all the time，as I can't afford to do so.But treating people with dignity（尊嚴(yán)），kindness and compassion is important.Helping others is a good way to help the world，even in just a small way.We often feel as thought here's nothing we can do to make the world better.But that's just not true.

A．By giving him ＄20.

（3）What does the underlined word"this"refer to in the last Paragraph？

D．treating people with kindness and compassion
（4）What does the writer want to tell us？
