Mr. Brown was in school for only one year when he was young and later on he was made to help his father to work in the fields. There wasn’t e 1. rain for several years and though there was a river nearby, the water was polluted. The farmers dared not w 2. their corn with the polluted water. So they had several poor harvests. They had l 3. food and sometimes they were hungry. One year his parents died of hunger and there was no one to care for him. He had to go to find work in the town and he learned to drive a truck in a factory.

Coming from a village made him strong and ready to help others. He met a girl who loved him, so they got married. His wife works in a shop and his children study in a school. He tries his best to s 4. everything even if a pound, and hardly eats in a restaurant. He’s good at c 5. and always takes some food he has made at home with him when he goes to work in the morning.

It was Sam’s eighth birthday yesterday. The boy hoped to have dinner in a restaurant. At first, Mr. Brown wouldn’t agree. Then he thought his son had never had anything in restaurants before, so he decided to give in. The boy was very happy and the Browns went to a restaurant for the

f 6. time. When they finished their dinner, Mr. Brown said to the waiter, “My son has some meat l 7. on his plate. Could you give me a bag so that I can take it home for the dog?” “Oh, Dad!” the boy called out. “We haven’t got a dog at all!”

Spending a long time in front of the computer may cause headaches, eyestrain（眼睛疲劳）or other physical problems.

      ★Make sure that your child doesn’t give personal information over the web (name, age, address, telephone number).

      ★Make sure that your child asks your permission before download（下载）anything.

      ★Make sure that your child doesn’t post any photos of his or hers on the web．

Two good friends, Sam and Jason, met with a car accident on their way home one snowy night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken. The doctor, Mr Lee, was standing by his bed, looking at him worriedly. When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “How are you feeling, Sam?” Sam smiled and said, “Not bad, Doctor. Thank you very much for doing the special operation(手术).” Mr Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam said, “Please don’t tell Jason about it.” “Well…Well…OK,” Mr Lee replied.

Months later when Jason’s wounds healed(愈合), Sam was still very sick. He couldn’t see or walk. He could do nothing but stay in his wheelchair all day long. At first, Jason stayed with him for a few days. But days later, Jason thought it boring to spend time with a disabled man like Sam. So he went to see Sam less and less. He made new friends. From then on, he didn’t go to visit Sam any more. Sam didn’t have any family or friends except Jason. He felt very sad.

Things went from bad to worse. Sam died a year later. When Jason came, Mr Lee gave him a letter from Sam. In the letter Sam said, “Dear Jason, I am disabled. But I want you to be a healthy man. So I gave my eyes to you so that you can enjoy life as a healthy man. Now you have new friends. I’m glad to see that you are as healthy and happy as usual. I’m glad you live a happy life. You are always my best friend... Sam”. When he finished reading the letter, Mr Lee said, “I have promised that I will keep this a secret until Sam is gone. Now you know it.”

Jason stood there like a stone. Tears ran down his face.
