Lisa goes to school on foot every day. One morning, Lisa leaves home after breakfast without an umbrella. Then it begins to rain. The rain becomes heavier and heavier. Lisa's mother worries about her daughter and decides to find Lisa to give her an umbrella. She drives along the way her daughter always walks. She looks left and right through the car windows to look for Lisa. Finally, she finds Lisa walking in the street happily. She also finds that every time lightning strikes, Lisa will stop, look up at the sky and smile. Lisa's mother is very surprised. She shouts to Lisa, "Lisa, what are you doing?" She answers, "God is taking photos of me, so I smile!"

    When I was a child, I was a tomboy(假小子). I had a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. My brothers were two and four years older than I. We often played games together.

    Once, my brothers and I fell in love with playing a game called "stealing horses". Then my parents decided to buy my brothers guns. These were not "real" guns. Because I was a girl, I didn't get a gun. They shot and shot at everything with their new guns. I tried to "fight" them with my bow and arrows (弓和箭). But I was still in the poor position without a gun.

    One day while I was hiding behind a wall, looking out toward the fields, I felt a terrible blow to my right eye. I looked up just in time to see my brother lower his gun. Both brothers rushed to my side. My eye felt great pain and I covered it with my hand. "If you tell that to Mummy," they said, "We will get a whipping(鞭打) from Daddy. You don't want that to happen, do you?" I did not. "Here is a piece of wire(电线)," said the older brother, picking it up from the floor, "Say you stepped on one end of it and the other flew up and hit you." "Yes," I said. To be honest, I didn't want them to be punished. So I did as my brothers told me to do.

    A week after the "accident" my parents took me to see a doctor. Finally I knew my brothers were worried about my eye, so they told our parents what had happened and asked them to take me to see a doctor.

Hello, boys and girls! I'm Alice. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(工作) in the Washington City Lost and Found Office. We get many {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (奇怪的)things every day. When people are in a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(匆匆忙忙), they may {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (失去)things. So if you don't want to look for your things, be{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (小心的), please! Sometimes we have some lost pets, such as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (鸭), and even {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (猪). When we can't find their owners, we'll send them to the pets'{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(家). And sometimes we even find two kilos of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(香肠)! {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(谁的)are they? 

Recently, a short heart-warming video has been hot on the Internet. Many people have been interested in this video. Here {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the story.

two firefighters

On a hot September afternoon, a fire started in a neighborhood in a city. A woman and her little son were sleeping when the fire broke out. So they became trapped (困在) in their apartment on the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} floor. People called 119 and a team of firefighters soon arrived. Two firefighters {#blank#}3{#/blank#} into the room and helped the mother and the son get out through the window. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, the mother and the son were saved and the fire was put out.

After they finished their work, this team of brave firefighters went to a nearby {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for dinner. But when the firefighters wanted to pay for their meals, they were surprised to find out that four young people had quietly paid for them.

In fact, such warm-hearted people can be found in many places in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Giving and receiving always work both ways. Offering help is a(n) {#blank#}7{#/blank#} part of Chinese culture. "When they were fighting against the fire, they didn't think of themselves," said one of the young people. In life, this kind of people, like policemen, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and nurses, firefighters and others, who protect people from danger are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} as "unsung heroes". They deserve the acts of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, thanks and respect for their contribution (贡献) to society.
