Emily, an eight-year-old girl, is not very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} because she has so many rules to obey every day.  

     At school, she can't arrive {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. She has to get up early in the morning. She {#blank#}3{#/blank#} run or laugh in the hallways and she can't eat or listen to music in class. She agrees {#blank#}4{#/blank#} these rules because they're reasonable. But there are some rules she can't {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. For example, she has to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} her school uniform from Monday to Friday. She can't wear a cap or a hat in the classroom. She can't talk {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in the classroom. She has to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the blackboard and the classroom once a week.

     She also has to keep some rules at home. For example, she can't hang out {#blank#}9{#/blank#} watch TV after school. She has to finish her homework first. She can't meet friends on school nights. And she has to be in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} by nine o'clock. {#blank#}11{#/blank#} Weekends, she has to clean her room and {#blank#}12{#/blank#} her clothes. And she has to {#blank#}13{#/blank#} her mum do housework. Later she has to go to the Children's Palace to {#blank#}14{#/blank#}dancing. She never has any {#blank#}15{#/blank#}. What an unhappy girl!

    A boy found an eagle's(鹰) egg and he put it in the nest(巢) of a chicken. Soon the egg broke open and the eagle {#blank#}1{#/blank#} out. He thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what chickens do— looking for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in the dirt and flying short distances(距离) with a noisy waving of wings. It was a hard life. Little by little the eagle grew {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. One day he and his chicken friends {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a beautiful bird flying in the air, high {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the mountains.

    "Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle. The chicken {#blank#}6{#/blank#} "Don't give it another thought. That's the great eagle, the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of all birds—you can never be like him!" And the eagle didn't give it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} thought. He went on cackling(咯咯) and complaining about {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Finally, he died thinking he was a chicken.

    My friends, you are born an eagle, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. The God expects you to be an eagle, so don't listen to the chickens.

Li Ming thought that{#blank#}6{#/blank#} cookies was a great idea to help others. His teacher, Ms. Liu wanted {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a shop to raise money {#blank#}8{#/blank#} school activities. Li Ming {#blank#}9{#/blank#}his classmates would {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the idea.
