Little Mike's grandma d (1)       weeks ago. He missed her very much. One afternoon Mike went to the city park,where his grandma u (2)       to go. There he saw an old lady. She looked very kind. She was sitting there,watching pigeons (鹤子) .Little Mike went up and sat n (3)       to her. He took out his food and drinks and g (4)       some to her. She smiled at him. Her smile was so sweet that Mike wanted to see it again. She s (5)       to understand him,so once again she smiled. Mike was very glad.

  They sat there all the afternoon,eating and t (6)       As it grew dark,Mike got up to leave. Before he left,he hugged (拥抱) the old lady and she gave him her s (7)       smile.

When Mike got home,his mother was s (8)       by the look of joy on his face. "I met a granny in the park. Her smile was like the kind of smile I had seen on Grandma's face."

  The old lady also r (9)       to her home happily. She told her son that she had had food and drinks with a little boy. "He was as 1 (10)       as Brittany," she said. Her son was surprised,because he had never seen her so happy since Brittany,her grandson,died weeks ago.

  Reading is an activity people enjoy a lot in their free time.

   Some like reading newspapers and o (1)       enjoy novels or comic (喜剧的) books. My f (2)       books are those about the lives of great people. Reading them always gives me a lot of ideas on how to make my o (3)       life better.

  Great people are remembered not because they were handsome or beautiful,but because they did not give up w (4)       their lives were difficult. They tried to use e (5)       chance to change their lives and make the world better.

  One good example is Orville and Wilbur Wright,the two brothers w (6)       invented the airplane. The plane has m (7)       the world into a small village. Hard work,not good luck,is the r (8)       why the Wright Brothers could invent this convenient (方便的) machine and become great people. Today we will remember them when we see planes i (9)       the sky.

  Whenever I read s (10)       about great people,I always learn a lot from them and they encourage me to march on.

  Knowing yourself not only means that you find out what you are good at and what you like,but also means that you d (1)       what you're not good at and what you don't like. B(2)       help you to see your goal in life.

  Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had f (3)       the math tests,they have learned a lot about themselves. They know they might not become great engineers or scientists. So failing can help a student to live a much h (4)       life if he or she draws the right conclusion from the failing. They may then decide on their goal and c (5)       the kind of work they would like to do and are really good at.

  It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something u (6)       you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the violin,you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you have any i (7)       or ability.

  It's not enough to have the strong desire to become a great violinist. You a        (8) have to like the hard and long training before you become one. If you enjoy being a great violinist but h (9)       the hard work,forget it.

It's good to try as many as p (10)       when you are still young. And then you will come to a wise (明智的) decision.

  I have a friend,and she u (1)       to smoke cigarettes.

She began smoking at the age of 13.  She mixed with (与........ 混在一起) the wrong group and she thought they were c (2)       Because they smoked,and in order to be cool and be friends with them,she thought she had to smoke,too.

  Last year,she m (3)       to Chicago,the city where I live. We became friends. One day,on our way home,she started smoking. I asked her why and she told me how she f (4)       started. I told her smoking is bad for her health,and being a student,it's not right to be just cool,she should learn knowledge and prepare herself to be a useful person to the society when she grows up. I persuaded her to make up her mind to give up s (5)      

  I stayed with her e (6)       second during those days,throwing away her cigarette w (7)       she took one in her hand. Soon she stopped smoking.

But one day I h (8)       to see her smoking again. I told her she had to c (9)       me or cigarettes. We didn't talk for two days. Then she finally called and said she'd n (10)       smoke again.

  It's already been a few months since then,and she is doing better and never smokes again.

  This is a story about Geneva Emmons who got a prize for growing pumpkins.

Geneva Emmons saw a p (1)       of an 827-pound pumpkin in a newspaper and thought she could do b (2)       Nine years later,she took part in a pumpkin competition (比赛) in Oregon,USA. with a pumpkin of 1,262 pounds！

 Catherine and Martin met in England before they came to Australia. At that time,Martin was a minister (牧师) in a church,and it was three v (1)       away from Catherine's. One evening,they happened to have dinner t (2)       in a restaurant. They e (3)       their talk and laughed a lot. The young man soon won Catherine's h (4)       ，so she asked him whether he would marry her in church. The minister was very surprised and said that her q (5)       came quite unexpectedly. Catherine realized that he had not understood her c (6)       So she laughed and said, " What I m (7)       is,when I get married in church,will you be the minister who marries me and my husband?" They both laughed,and they had a nice evening.

However,their talk that evening put an idea into Martin's head. He realized that he had a        (8) fallen in love with Catherine and he wanted to marry her. So a few days later,he visited her and asked her to marry him. Catherine felt proud and pleased,and a        (9) it. Soon after they were married,they m (10)       to Australia.

  As soon as I e (1)       the room,I found that my mother was unhappy. It was unusual―she usually opened the door and w (2)       me with a smile！

  "She's dying," mum said s (3)       I know what she said. The tulip (4卩金香) ，mother's f (4)       ，was dying.

  A month ago,we moved into our new house and mum bought a very beautiful tulip. Mum liked it very much. When she was f (5)       ，she would sit in her armchair beside the tulip and enjoyed its beautiful color and inviting smell.

She t (6)       it like a baby and looked after it carefully. She put the tulip by the window and moved it from one place to another to give the tulip e (7)      sunshine. The first thing she did when she got up every morning was to water the tulip. Mum also fertilized (施肥) it many times. She hoped that with her great c (8)       ，the tulip would become more and more beautiful and strong.

  But the tulip was dying because of too much sunshine,water and fertilizer. It's t (9)       that mother loved the tulip. But this kind of love can be harmful. Love can sometimes k (10)       what you love.

   The other day,I read something on a charity show in a magazine. The aim of the show was to r (1)       money for the poor children. In some rural areas (农村) ，some children can't go to school because their parents can't afford their education.

  To my s (2)       ，many famous stars took part in the charity show,such as Andy Lau,Jay Chow,Faye Wang and Kelly Chen. The stars d (3)       ask for any pay. They did it for free. There were a lot of performances like singing and dancing during the show. The fans were so e (4 )       that they clapped their hands from time to time. Of course,the show was a s ( 5)       .

  All the people f (6)       the stars' examples. A great number of people donated their money to the show.

Both the ticket money and the donated money were soon s (7)       to the poor areas,so some of the poor children could get b (8)       to school.

  Now many charity shows are h (9)       in our country,not only to support education in poor areas but also to help people in trouble. As the Chinese saying goes, "All the others will come to one's rescue (援助) when one is in trouble."I b (10)       that the whole world will become better if every one of us gives charity to others.

  Fred didn't like to use his head. He never put his h (1)       into his studies when he was at school. So he f (2)       behind his classmates and couldn't pass the exams. Before long he left school and stayed at home. With his father's help,he found a job in a factory. At first he worked in an office,but he was u (3)       to do his job well. So he was sent to a workshop. He had to do some h (4)       work there. He was always tired when he got home,and went to bed as soon as he f (5)       supper. One day,he went to have his long hair cut. He found the work was clean and light. He d (6)       to be a barber,too. So he left the factory. He took the barber a        (7) his teacher. Three months passed,but he h (8)       learned anything and the barber lost his patience.     The young man had to go home. His father helped him to o (9)       a barber's shop in their small town,but nobody would have their hair cut in his shop. In order to help Fred and set others an example,his father decided to be the first customer.

  However,the young man was so c (10)       that he hurt his father's ear. His father shook his head sadly and said, "Have you ever done anything successfully?" "Oh,Dad,I'm dreaming of it."
