A
It was a lovely spring day and I was returning from the market with a few things we needed. I was frustrated because there were so many things I wished I could do for my children and for myself but I lacked the time and the money for either.
As I turned the old car into the driveway, I noticed my son on the front porch(门廊）with a little girl about his age. She was in old clothes and was in need of a bath. She wore thick glasses and her hair was cut unevenly(参差不齐地）.I thought back on the times when I had tried to give my own children haircuts to save money and regretted the outcome almost as much as they did. I saw my son give her some money and she carefully handed him what looked to be a broken glass ball. She wandered off while I was unloading the groceries.
When my son came to help me, I asked him who the little girl was and what she wanted. He explained that she had come to the door trying to sell her piggy bank and that he had purchased it. I bit my tongue. I had sacrificed in order to give the children a few dollars for their good grades in school, but he spent the money on a worthless piece of junk! I asked him why he had done such a thing and his response brought tears to my eyes. He said, \the money. I didn't want to make her feel bad by just giving her the money. I think she needed it more than me.\
Years have passed since I drove in the driveway in the old car and saw my seven-year-old son helping someone less fortunate, but the piggy bank remains high a top my refrigerator to remind me that there is goodness, kindness and unselfishness in the world.

One of the sad stories in American history has something to do with slavery. For a short time between 1800 and 1865, British and American ships would go to Africa and buy Africans from people who forced young men and women to leave their villages. They were brought to coastal (沿海的）cities and put on ships which came to the states where cotton was grown. The American farmers would buy the Africans and put them to work picking cottons. The Africans had to work for these farmers all of their lives.
It was President Abraham Lincoln who signed a law that slavery was unfair to the Africans. He thought all the black slaves should be set free. But the slave owners in the southern states did not agree with him. There was a fight over this disagreement and it was called the American Civil War. The southern states lost the war and Africans could now become free Americans. However, 100 years after Lincoln signed the law, some American blacks were not voting and did not have an equal chance to eat in a restaurant or ride on a bus.
It was Martin Luther King, an American minister who began the Equal rights Movement in the 1960's. He was successful in telling the American people that American blacks were still not equal. His most famous speech was given in the capital city of American, Washington, D.C..
His speech, I Have a Dream, is now taught in most schools of the world. Martin Luther King became so famous that the American Congress(国会) declared a special national day in his name in January. Only two other Americans, President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln, have a national holiday after their names.
Though Martin Luther King was never a president, he turned a sad story into a happy one that American blacks could be equal to everyone else.
