It was the first of April. Lisa got up and looked out of the window. It was all white and there were no

coming back to the house.”

My mother only had one eye. I never wanted her to show up at my school.
One day during elementary school, I was terribly ill. My mother came.
“Your mom only has one eye!” yelled some of my classmates. I wished my mother would have just
disappeared.
“If you embarrass (使……尴尬) me, why don’t you just die?”I shouted at her, taking no notice of the
sad look on her face. My mother just handed me some medicine and left without saying anything.
At that time, I didn’t think I had hurt her feelings very much. That night I saw my mom crying in her
room. Even so, I hated her tears from one eye. I made a decision: I must study hard and leave my mother.
Years later my dream came true. I was quite successful. I never thought of going back to see my
“ugly” mother until one day I got a letter.
“My son, I’m sorry I only have one eye. When you were little, you got into an accident and lost your
eye. As a mom, I couldn’t stand watching you live with only one eye. So I gave you mine. I was never
angry with you and I never regretted it because I love you.”
I cried out aloud. Only then did I realize how beautiful my mother was!

3. The writer’s mom lost one eye because_____.
A. she used it to save her son’s sight
B. she had a serious car accident

C. The writer lived in the same city as his mother.

The competition will be judged by the RD (Reader’s Digest) team and award-winning
photographer Barry Marksmen. To get your creative juices flowing, here are two of our regular
photographers’ tips for taking great pictures.
Pal Hansen
The most important thing is to carry a camera around with you at all times. Use manual（手动的）
settings as much as possible. Now that everything is digital, I’d also say, “Shoot as much as possible,”
because it doesn’t cost anything.
Michelle Carrion
Kids find wonder in the simplest things, so as a photographer it helps to be ready for those moments.
The connection across generations is sometimes best captured in a photograph. Frame your subject well.
Get close to the action, or your subject, and choose your angle carefully. A slightly odd angle can make
11
a photo different.
