1.A Girl‘s Name
When our daughter was born, we named her Myles, after my beloved late（已故的） father, despite family warning that the name was too masculine（男性的） .
Years later, when I felt she was old enough to understand, I explained to Myles, Your name is very special. I named you after my own father because I loved him very much. I know he would be proud of you.
Myles thought carefully about this and then said, I know all that, Mom. But I don‘t understand why my grandfather had a girl‘s name.
翻譯：
女孩的名字
女兒出生時，我們給她取名叫邁爾斯，和我深愛的也已過世的父親同一個名字，不過家人提醒這個名字太男性化了。
幾年以后，我覺得邁爾斯已經長大，能夠懂事了。我對她解釋說：你的名字很特別。我給你取了一個和我爸爸一樣的名字，因為我非常愛他。我相信他會為你而深感自豪的。
邁爾斯很仔細地想了一下，然后說道：這些我都懂，媽媽。可是我不知道外公為什么會有一個女孩子的名字。

2.Two Pieces of Cake

4.Keep feeding him nickels

A mother saw her three-year-old son put nickel in his mouth and swallowed it. She immediately picked hime up, turned him upside down and hit him on the back, whereupon he coughed up two dimes. Frantically（瘋狂似地） , she called to the father outside.

“Your son just swallowed a nickel and coughed up two dimes! What shall I do?”

Yelled back the father, “Keep feeding him nickels!”

翻譯：
再喂他幾枚五分鎳幣

母親見三歲的兒子將一枚五分鎳幣放進嘴里吞了下去，她立刻將他抱起，頭朝下不停地拍打他的后背，他咳出了兩枚一角的硬幣，她發狂似的朝正在外面的孩子父親喊道：

“你兒子剛才吞下了一枚五分鎳幣，可咳出兩枚一角的硬幣！我該怎么辦呢？“

孩子他爸大聲回答道：“再喂他幾枚五分鎳幣！”
