Nancy is a funny girl. Her 1  is full of fantastic ideas. Like any other child, she has 2  in her life, but she always solves it in funny ways.

    Nancy's classmate Lionel lost a tooth at school last month. The teacher 3  him a cute tooth necklace (项链). Nancy found it was nice and she wanted one too.

    One morning Nancy found one of her teeth was loose (松动的). "I will get a nice tooth necklace 4  the tooth falls out at school," she thought. Nancy did everything that she could

    5to make sure she lost her tooth at school. However, things didn't always happen as she 6 . The tooth finally 7 out on her way to school. Nancy told her teacher what had happened. She was 8 . She didn't think she could get the special necklace.

    To 9 surprise, the teacher decided to give Nancy the necklace. "Your tooth dropped out close to the school, didn't it?" the teacher said. "And you're really an honest (诚实的) girl." Finally, Nancy's dream came 10  .

    One summer evening I was sitting by the open window， reading a good novel. I was so 1 the story I was reading that I didn't 2 that it was getting dark. When I realized that it was too dark for me to read 3 ， I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone 4 ， "Help! Help!" It seemed to come from the trees at the end of the yard. I looked out but it was too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounds like a child， but I could not 5what someone would be doing in our backyard， unless one of my neighbor's children had climbed a tree and had not been able to 6.

    I decided that I should go out and have 7 in the yard， just in case someone was8. With a flashlight and a stick in my hands， I went out into the yard. Once again I heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. "Who is there?" I 9 as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no 10. With the help of my flashlight， I 11 all over that end of the yard， including the branches of the trees. There was no 12 of anybody or anything. I came to the conclusion that my 13 made fun of me， probably nothing is happening there.

    I had to go back into the house and sat down to read my book again. Not long after that， I was 14 by the loud cry of "Help! Help!" This time it was from right behind me! I dropped my book and jump up. There， sitting on the table was my neighbor's large green and red 15.

    Several months ago, a couple with a little girl moved in next door to me. The girl seemed too quiet to make any noise, while the parents were always 1her loudly. Whenever we met my new neighbors, I always spoke, but the only 2 I ever got was a hello from the 4-year-old girl.

    I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I returned, they were just coming from their home and the little girl was holding the door open for others. I stayed in the car doing unnecessary things as I wasn't in a 3. The parents were telling her to get into the car immediately. I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me.

As a disabled man, I can't hurry at 4, but I hurried as much as I could and thanked her. She was smiling like a lovely angel. I was so 5 by her small act of kindness. That afternoon I was shopping and I saw a white bear. I thought of the girl and said to myself. "I believe she would like that" so I bought it.

    The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her parents. She was so 6of her bear and thanked me as if I had never been thanked before. The mother and father both thanked me. 

    Now when we meet, we all speak, and in a friendly manner I might add. As time passes, I don't hear that shouting as often.7, hardly at all.

    Last night we had about four inches of snow. I looked out at my car and wondered 8 I was going to keep my doctor's appointment(约会). When I opened the outside door, there was my car with all the snow cleaned. I can't express how I felt at that moment. The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building,9when I saw him the next day, I asked him if he was the good man that cleaned my snow. He said No. He wanted to but his wife said she wanted to do it.

    Isn't it amazing that a 4-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? It is said that good things usually come from 10.
