But it wasnt. Again，” Schmidt added. Her daughter was “exhausted” from her disappointment.As much as Schmidt wanted to give her another dollar to try again, she felt it was time for a life lesson speech.

The woman grabbed a dollar from her own wallet, caught the threefor$1 ticket from the bucket of tickets and no joke, opened a winning ticket. The woman at once gave her prize to Schmidts daughter.That strangers kindness taught Schmidt a lesson. “When I see the doll, Ill remember the day that kindness went viral (蔓延) and Ill use that lesson to remind myself how important it is to instill kindness in my kids so that they are the kind of people who will seek out opportunities to share it，” Schmidt said.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。在女儿屡屡遭受失败后，母亲本打算让女儿明白“人生不仅仅关乎输赢”的道理；然而，一个陌生人的举动却给她们上了更为生动的一课。5While opening the last ticket, Schmidts daughter _.Afelt hopeless about winningBhad high expectations for itCcouldnt believe her eyesDasked her mom for help解析：选B推理判断题。由第二段中的“. she opened it slowly, holding
