Question

Born as the only child in the family, I am the “king” of the family. My parents are both businessmen and they come home every two weeks. Because they don’t spend much time with me, they always feel guilty* and will buy me many expensive things and let me do whatever I want. My grandparents never let me do any chores because they want me to do my schoolwork.
I used to take everything for granted*. I never said “thank you” to people. As time went by, I found that my classmates didn’t like me and my best friends left me. one day, I asked Leo, who used to be one of my best friends. He said that I was selfish, rude* and bad-tempered*. “No one wants to make friends with a person who always receives but never gives anything!” he said. I was shocked* at his words. “Oh, no! Please don’t leave me. I need friends! I will be lonely and unhappy without friends!” I locked myself up in the room and cried. “I want my friends back. But how?”
Then I noticed that all the popular kids in the class friendly to others. They always smile and say “thank you” to others. They do whatever they can to help when others are in trouble. Other kids like them and always play with them. “I need to change! I will get my friends back,” I said to myself. From then on, I started to change myself. I learned to say “thank you” to others. I smiled and volunteered to help other kids. I tried to be as nice as I could. Gradually, I found that other kids liked to talk with me and they would ask me to play with them and even told me their secrets. My friends came back to me again.
Now I have more friends than I used to do and I am happier than I used to be.

解析試題解析:本文大意：做為家里的獨生子，我是家里的“國王”，想干什么就干什么。我過去常常理所當然，從不對人說“謝謝”。時間流逝，我發現我的同學不喜歡我，我最好的朋友離開了我。我問了曾經是我最好的朋友的利奧，他說我自私、無理、脾氣壞。沒有人想和總是索取從不付出的人交朋友。后來我注意到所有班里受歡迎的孩子都對別人友善，他們總是對別人微笑并說“謝謝”。我學會對別人說“謝謝”，我微笑并自愿幫別的孩子，漸漸地，我發現別的孩子喜歡和我說話，讓我和他們一起玩，甚至告訴我他們的秘密，我的朋友們又回來了。
