A

My fathers grandfather Peder Hansen was an officer in the Danish army.When the Nazi Germans invaded Denmark，Peder escaped by a fishing boat and joined the British army.Peder was trained to be in the Special Forces where he had to learn how to kill rapidly with all kinds of weapons，and also with his hands.He learned how to jump out of planes with parachutes(降落傘).

Because he spoke 7 languages，he became a spy when special force training was over.It was his job to retrieve British pilots from Nazi German and Italian occupied countries.When a pilot was shot down in Germany，and if the Allies knew where the plane had been shot down，they would send Peder by submarine or airplane across the English Channel and into Germany to save the pilots.When he got there，he would have to hike or steal a car to a village nearby the crash site，then he would have to make contact with the other spies in the village；usually a password was used.

Once Peder broke into the jail，overpowered two of the guards，and released his friend.However，as they ran from the jail，a guard shot the pilot in the arm.Peder managed to drag him off，and found medical help for the wound.The wound was very large and severe，and made the travel slow.Peder and the pilot escaped towards the coast，but after a week of travelling，the pilots wound became badly infected.Peder had to strap him to his back and carry him to the coast.

Finally Peder could go no more，and his friend was in death throes(劇痛).Just before his brave friend died，he told Peder he had nothing to give him to remember him by except for his leather vest.Peder cherished it all his life.Before he died，he passed it on to my father John，who still has it and wears it to this day.

A young man，a student in one of our universities，was one day taking a walk with a professor，who was commonly called the students friend，from his kindness to those who waited on his instructions.As they went along，they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes，which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by，and who had nearly finished his days work.

The student turned to the professor，saying：“Let us play the man a trick：we will hide his shoes，and conceal ourselves behind those bushes，and wait to see his perplexity when he cannot find them.”

“My young friend，” answered the professor，“we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor.But you are rich，and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of helping the poor man.Put a coin into each shoe，and then we will hide ourselves.”

The student did so，and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by.The poor man soon finished his work，and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes；but feeling something hard，he stooped down to feel what it was，and found the coin.Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance(表情).He gazed upon the coin，turned it round，and looked at it again and again.He then looked around him on all sides，but no person was to be seen.He now put the money into his pocket，and proceeded to put on the other shoe；but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.His feelings overcame him；he fell upon his knees，looked up to heaven and uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving，in which he spoke of his wife，sick and helpless，and his children without bread，whom the timely bounty，from some unknown hand，would save from perishing.

The student stood there deeply affected，and his eyes filled with tears.
