An artist painted many pictures of great beauty. But he found that he had not yet painted a "real" picture.

    He began his trip to look{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the most beautiful thing in the world. On the way, he met an aged priest(神父)who{#blank#}2{#/blank#}him where he was going. "I don't know," said the artist "I want to paint the most beautiful thing in the world. Perhaps you can direct me to it." "How{#blank#}3{#/blank#},"replied the priest. "In any church, you will find it — ‘Faith'(信任，信仰) is the most beautiful thing in the world."

    The artist traveled on. Later, a(n){#blank#}4{#/blank#}mother told him the most beautiful thing is "Love". "Love"{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the world go round. Without love there is no beauty.

    Still the artist continued his search. He asked a soldier the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}question and his answer was "Peace". He said, "War is ugly and{#blank#}7{#/blank#}you find peace, you will find beauty, faith and love."

    How can I paint all of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}Faith, Love and Peace? He thought and thought. He was surprised that without thinking where he was going, he had got to his familiar place. On the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}of his wife and children, he saw Love and Faith. "We are thinking of you all the time. We prayed (祈祷)you would return to us safely," said his wife. The artist sat on his favorite old chair and his{#blank#}10{#/blank#}was at peace.

    The artist painted the most beautiful thing in the world and called it "Home".

    The girl's mother was so {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that she asked her friend, who was an artist, for help. The artist had pity on the young girl who was dying and he felt that he must do something to help the girl. In order to save the young girl's life, the artist {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to draw many leaves and hung them on tree branches by stealth(悄悄的行动).

    The young girl was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to see that the tree came into leaf again the next day. She began to feel pretty hopeful about her future and began to receive treatment. She made a quick recovery(恢复) from her illness. She was out of hospital {#blank#}4{#/blank#} months later. From then on, she lived a happy life.

    Mickey Mouse is possibly the most famous Walt Disney character (人物) of all the time. Someone once said he was more{#blank#}1{#/blank#}than the President of the U. S. A. Even two-year-old children know him when they see his huge ears.

     Mickey Mouse has changed in 132 films since 1928. Unlike the funny Goofy, or the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Donald Duck, he usually plays an average guy.

     Mickey Mouse has changed over the years. Nowadays, he is fatter, his ears{#blank#}3{#/blank#}together, he has white patches (斑) around his eyes and he wears different kinds of{#blank#}4{#/blank#}in different films.

     Nowadays we can see the shy, charming{#blank#}5{#/blank#}happy Mickey Mouse everywhere: on T-shirts and mugs, on bed sheets and pencil cases.
