Growing up is not always easy .When facing difficulties ,courage and a spirit of independence (独立)can be more useful than crying for help .That’s what’s the story I’ve heard recently tells me .

　 The young man was born in1982 in a 31 family in a small town .When he was only 11, his father became mentally ill and one day came back with an abandoned baby (弃儿) girl .A year later ,his 32 left home with his younger brother because she couldn’t 33 hard life and pressure from her mad husband . The 12-year-old boy began to 34 his whole family : he took care of not only his sick father ,but also the little girl . 35 ,he didn’t give up studying .Later he went to college . To care for the little girl ,he rented a room near his college and 　36 her education by doing part-time jobs .

　 After the young man’s story went public ,people were deeply impressed by his behavior.

37 his life was hard ,he didn’t abandon his father and his sister because 38 needed his help very much . And he 39 donations from others . He said he felt 40　 because of kind offers ,but he could depend on his own work .With his hard –won money ,he 41 helped other students in trouble .

　 Today when many young people worry more about their own happiness, this young man’s behavior reminds us of what we don’t usually 　42　 : love and care for others .nobody could

Continue to live 　43 these .

　 Through his hard life ,the young man is regarded as a 44　 . So when facing difficulties ,don’t 45 bad luck .Consider what more you could do for your family and society ,and you’ll find the world smiling back .

　　Mr. Smith liked travelling. One day, at noon, he came to a small town. He was too tired and hungry to go on. So he went to a restaurant and tie his horse to a tree outside. There were so many people in it that he couldn't find a seat for himself. Mr. Smith thought for a moment and then he looked at one of the servants near the door. He shouted at him.“My horse is in the street. Give it some meat.”

　　All the people in the restaurant looked surprised. The servant asked,“Did you say 'meat', sir?”

　　“Yes, I did,”said Mr. Smith.“The horse is hungry. Give it some meat.”

　　The servant went to the kitchen and took some meat. Then he brought it to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith looked at the meat and said,“Take it to my horse.”

　　The servant went into the street. All the other people in the room went out, too, and they said,“A horse is going to eat meat. Come and have a look at it.”Now the restaurant was empty.

　　Mr. Smith went into the restaurant quickly. He got a big glass of bear, took a seat near the window and began to drink.

　　After a few minutes, the servant came into the restaurant again, and all the other people came back, too. The servant went to Mr Smith and said,“Your horse didn't want to eat the meat.”

Frank was clever, but he never liked to work hard. He often said to his friends, “If you work hard, you will make a lot of money, but it is not so good. I want easy work and a lot of money. That’s the most interesting thing in the world.”So he could only be a thief. But he still thought it was too much work, so he only told his friends what to do and got money from them.
One day, Frank sent one of his friends to a very large and beautiful house. He told him to get money from that rich family. It was evening, and a man and a girl were in the room. They were playing a duet（二重奏）on a piano. Then the thief came into the house.
