(40 points)Text 1When her classmates were having a good time, Molly sat at the picnic table alone. She remained awkward around her classmates. She seemed unsure of what to do or say, yet I could see her eyes longing for acceptance. Many students had already decided that her friendship would not be worth the energy required to overcome the awkwardness. Others teased her. Most ignored her except for one.Brianna, the class clown, was making the other students laugh, as usual. “Brianna, do you see Molly down there? Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the rest of us?”Brianna sighed. I could tell she didnt want to sacrifice precious minutes of her own recess (休息) to do what I was asking of her, but I also knew her heart. She often thought of others before herself a rare character for anyone, much less a kid.Knowing this choice was hard for her, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a D-buck, our class currency. Though bribery (行贿) was not the ideal way to handle this situation, I needed her cooperation.“Here, Ill pay you for your time.”She offered an insincere smile, grasped the green paper, and headed down the hill.As the rest of the children screamed and laughed, my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table. Molly could be difficult, and I wouldnt have been surprised if she sent Brianna back alone, refusing her invitation. When she encouraged herself to a standing position, I sighed with relief.A minute later, I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Here, Mrs. D” She handed me the D-buck.“Why?” I asked.“I shouldnt keep this,” Her eyes fell to her feet, guilt radiating from her quiet voice. “I dont want Molly to think I only went to get her so I could earn a D-buck. Shes my friend.”A moment later, they were all laughing again, and who should I see among them, laughing for the first time that week?
