Mr Henry had a parrot. It could 1 only one sentence “There is no doubt about it(毫无疑问)!” The parrot repeated the same words all day long and said this answer to every question.

　　A day came when Mr Henry needed money and he took the bird to 2 to sell it. “Who 3 my parrot?” he cried, “Twenty pounds for my parrot!”

　　A man in the crowd(人群) heard him and was surprised that he was asking for so much money. 4 asking Mr Henry 5 he wanted so much, he decided to speak to the parrot.

　　“ 6 twenty pounds?” he asked. “There is no doubt about it!” the parrot answered.

　　The man Liked the bird's answer so much that he bought it and took it 7 . But very soon he learnt that the parrot would say 8 else. And he was sorry he had bought it. He stood 9 the parrot and said, “How foolish(愚蠢) I was to 10 so much money away!”

　　“There is no doubt about it!” the parrot cried.

Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself.”

When I was a young boy, I was 1_shy to talk to anyone. My classmates often _2_me.I was sad but could do nothing, Later, _3_happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to _4_it .What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.

“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 5_the contest.”Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic “Believe in yourself.”I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 _6_.With my mother’s great love, I did _7_in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place, I heard the cheers _8_the teachers and the students. Those classmates_9_once looked down on（看不起）me ,now all said “Congratulations!”to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell _10_to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.
