Stealing? Maybe, but in our 1  minds we were just enjoying nature's gift.

    As teenage boys, we were not thinking about whose the strawberries were. We 2knew the Jordan family had the best strawberries in the neighborhood.

    So on a Friday3 , we secretly went into the Jordans' backyard and started picking their sweet strawberries. We thought there was 4 that tasted better than the fresh strawberries. 5 we were enjoying the delicious strawberries, suddenly the Jordans' backyard 6  came on. It was terribly bright, so we hurried to cover our faces with hands. Then we saw 7 ran outside.

    “What are you boys doing out here?” he shouted 8  as my friends ran off in all directions. They were so9  that the older gentleman couldn't catch them. And at once all the boys ran away into the dark, except 10 .

    Mr. Jordan shouted at me as he ran after me all the way to my house, which my mother was in. My mother said11  over and over again. I felt so embarrassed (尴尬的). My friends said they could hear 12  she said to Mr. Jordan from our backyard. My friends laughed at me about it for days later.

    I was down and complained (抱怨) to my father. After hearing that, he said, “I don't think it's unfair at all. You took strawberries without 13 , and you got exactly the punishment you should have.”

    “But what about the other guys?” I asked. “They weren' t 14 at all!”

    “That should not be what you are thinking about,” said Dad. “You can't 15  what happens to other people, but you can do your own job well. You made a bad choice that night, and you were punished for it. ” That sounds completely fair to me.

    Yesterday was Father's Day. Something that happened between my father and I is still on my mind. It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood(情绪). 1friends of mine had gone to the movies the night before and neither had invited me. I was in my room 2how to make them sorry when my father came in. "Want to go for a ride today, Beck? It's a beautiful day. "

    "No! Leave me alone!" Those were the 3 words I said to him that morning.

    A few hours later, my friends called me to go to the mall with them. I forgot to be4 with them and went with them. When I came home, I found a(n) 5 from my mother that said," Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at the Park Hospital. "

    When I reached the hospital, my mother told me a car hit my father and he was seriously wounded. "Your father told the driver to leave6 alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy."

    My mother may have said more, but I didn't hear anything 7 those terrible words: Leave me alone. How much had I hurt him when I shouted at him earlier that day?

    It was several days later that he was 8 able to talk. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

    "Daddy...I am so sorry..."

    "It's okay, sweetheart. I'll be okay. "

    "No," I said. "I mean 9 I said to you that day. You know, that morning. "

    He looked at me and said with a weak smile," Sweetheart, I remember nothing about that day. "

    My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal (治愈). And we all have the power to10 what to say. I am going to do that very carefully from now on.

    Hello, everyone. I am going to tell you something about my 1.

    My brother Tom is a tall and nice boy with short brown hair. He 2 basketball at school, so he is very popular. 3, he is very funny. He often tells me funny stories and makes me 4.

    I have two sisters, Rose and Mary. They're twins. They look 5. They both have long blonde hair and small eyes. 6 in some ways, they are different. Rose swims very well, and she wants to be one of the best 7 in the future. Mary dances very 8. She hopes she will be a dancer when she grows up.

    I am a shy boy. I wear glasses. I don't like to talk with others very much. I am 9 than my brother and sisters. So I want to make friends with who are very different from 10 .

    Bai Jingting is shy and quiet, but his role in the new movie Yesterday Once More (《谁的青春不迷茫》)shows a 1 side of the actor.

    The movie was released 2 April 22nd, 2016. Bai plays a high school punk(无赖) 3 Gao Xiang. He doesn't get along with the class's top 4, Lin Tianjiao, Lin thinks Gao is lazy, 5 Gao thinks Lin tries too hard and does not care about his true 6The two, however, start to get closer after an exam. They 7 good friends.

    Bai often8 in the TV series. Yesterday Once More is Bai's first experience with movies. He said he 9a lot from it.

    "When we were shooting(拍摄) the TV series, we were 10hurrying to shoot without caring about our acting, "said Bai. " 11 with movies, we should practice again and again to make 12 acting skills better and better."

    Bai is now a 13 young man. He sees the importance of following his dreams, "Success doesn't only 14 getting money or fame(名誉),"he said." Making yourself happy is also a kind of 15, and only by doing what you really like will you achieve that."

    One night in November, Itzhak Perlman gave a concert in a theatre. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that becoming a violinist is not a small 1 for him. He had to walk 2 the help of two walking sticks as a result of the disease he caught as a child. People sat 3 while he made his way to his chair and began his play. But this time, something went 4 Just as he finished the first few parts of the music, one of the strings(弦) on his violin 5 . We thought that he would have to stop the concert. But he didn't. Instead , he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then 6 the conductor (指挥) to begin again. The orchestra(管弦乐队) began and he played with such strong feeling and purity as they had never heard before.

    Of course, everyone knows that it is 7 for a violinist to play a pleasant work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, but that night Itzhak Perlman didn't want to accept that.

    When he finished, there was a terrible 8 in the room. And then people rose and cheered from every corner of the theatre.

    Perlman was excited. He smiled and said, "You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to 9 how much music you can still make with what you have left."

    So, suppose our task in this fast-changing world is to make music. At first we should try our best with all that we have. And then, 10 it is no longer possible, try to play it with what we have left.
