The students of seventh grade walked into the hall with laughter and voices. We were told to listen to a speech by Mrs. Marks about bullying(欺负) and peer pressure (同伴压力). During the whole year, our grade had listened to speeches on these topics over and over again. My friends and I sat back, preparing to sit through another  1 speech.

    But as soon as Mrs. Marks started talking, she caught my attention. She talked in the way as if she knew how to reach into our minds and make us  2. And for once, I actually began to think about what she was talking about.

    One boy, especially, came to my mind. Every day, this boy came to school late. The students in the class would always make fun of him. They said, "Hey, man! Where have you been?" And then another added a more unfriendly joke. Their jokes would continue until the teacher 3 them to stop. But it was always too late. The boy would put his head down on his desk in 4.

    I felt really sorry for this  5 boy. Then I turned my attention back to the speaker and listened carefully till the end.

    "Now, before I leave today, I would like to give everyone here an opportunity to say something on the subjects of bullying or peer pressure. You may apologize(道歉) to or thank someone. And I can promise that no one will 6 at you this time.

    The silence in the room made me believe her. Slowly I saw a few hands rise. One girl wanted to apologize to a friend, and another thanked a boy for his kindness. It was then that my moment of 7 happened. The speaker called on me, and I began to talk.

    "What you said today 8 makes sense. I know that it's true, because I see it every day in class. There is one person who is always made fun of." My voice shook, I think that everyone here has made fun of him. I know I have. And now I really 9 it. To us, it may just be a game, but to him, it must hurt. And I think well, I think we need to stop."

    There was a silence for several seconds, but then, clapping quickly spread through the crowd.

    Later that day, the boy thanked me . And from then on, the other students began to 10 him better. They stopped playing jokes on him and greeted him with a friendly "Hi". I was pleased I had voiced something that everyone was feeling.

    Sam is my new classmate. He is 1 American boy. He is from New York. He is thirteen.

    Sam often gets up at about 6: 30 on2. And he often 3 a cup of tea, an egg and some bread for his breakfast. Then he goes to school at 7: 30 a.m. and gets there 4 8: 00 a.m. . They have four classes in the morning and two in the 5. At 3: 50 p.m. they play games. He studies hard and studies 6. He likes English and is good at it. He teaches us 7 and we teach him Chinese. He can speak a little Chinese now, but not 8 . Mike is his good friend. They go home together(一起). He does 9 homework at home, but sometimes at school. On Saturday and Sunday, he likes 10 football games on TV. He often goes to bed at about nine.

    Two years after I finished medical school, I began my internship(实习)in a hospital. There, I met with a patient named Benny. I discovered that he was 1 for a heart transplant(移植). He'd seen so many fellow patients during his stay that he felt comfortable giving tips to the2 men and women.

    "You have got a minute?" he asked me one day.

    "I have a minute."

    "I see a new group of interns here every month. But I think I have to say something to you. Matt, it seems that you're always in a 3 and that talking to me is another box to check for you,"' he said.

    These words were 4 for me. No one wants to hear that his patients think he doesn't 5 about them.

    "Take a look at what you're doing. You're sitting down, and we're having an actual6. Usually you just…，" Benny said.

    "Plan to run away as soon as I enter the room. "

    "Yeah…"

    From that day on, I found myself7 in to see Benny often, not only to examine him but also to talk about how I was working hard8a new doctor.

    As the months passed, I was becoming a better doctor, but nothing happened to Benny. One evening, I couldn't help asking, "Anything going on with the wait list?"

    "No news is9news," he said softly. "But I'm sure I will."

Finally, Benny got the heart.

    Standing in front of his bed, I felt so 10" Take good care of this guy," I said to the other doctors softly. "I'm not his doctor anymore. Now…just a friend."

    Once an Arab was traveling in the desert. When the sun went down in the west, he stopped and1his tent, made a fire and had a simple meal. When night fell, he2down to sleep.

    He had already fallen asleep when he felt a soft3on his elbow. He woke up to find that his camel had put his head inside the tent. The camel said," Would you please let me4my head in the tent to get warm. It's so cold outside. I won't take up too much5."

    The Arab was a kind-hearted man. "All right, do as you6,"he said. Then he turned on his side and back to sleep.

    It wasn't long7he felt a push on his shoulder. It was the camel again. "Dear master," the camel said," my head is quite warm now, but my neck is still cold. Do you mind8I keep it inside the tent, too?"

    "No, not at all," the man said. But this time he felt a bit9, as the camel had such a long neck. No sooner had he closed his eyes10he got a harder push in his side. This time the camel said, "Will you please allow me to bring my front legs inside and warm them up a little?"

    The Arab11over to one side of the tent. He made himself as small as he could. It wasn't12comfortable, and sleep was now out of the question.

    Soon after that the camel gave him a rough push and said, "The tent is too small for the two of us.13, my two back legs are still left in the cold. It is only14that you should leave the whole tent to me."

    And with that，the camel15the poor man out.

    Once upon a time, there was a very old man called Yu Gong. He lived with his family in a village and there were two big and 1 mountains near his house. They spent a long time 2 to the other side.

    One day, Yu Gong told his family that they must move the mountains to other places.3 this, everyone in his family was laughing at him. One of his sons said, "Are you kidding? ""No, I'm serious and all of you must do it with me. "Everyone was 4 at that time. They really didn't want to do it, but they had to do because the oldest man in the family was 5 important person at that time.

    The next day everyone in Yu Gong's family started to dig the mountains. They put the stones and the earth 6 the sea. One day a man saw Yu Gong and his children 7 the mountains. He told Yu Gong he would never do it. But Yu Gong said though he was 8 and would die, his family could continue to move the mountains. Then they kept on digging day after day and year after year.

    Finally a god was so moved by Yu Gong 9 he sent two gods to help Yu Gong move the mountains away.

    One day during primary school, I was terribly ill. My mother came.

    "Your mom only has one eye?" asked some of my classmates. I was so 2.

    I wished my mother would just 3 from this world." If you make me teased(嘲笑), why don't you just die?" I shouted at her, taking no notice of the sad look on her face. My mother just handed me some medicine and left without saying 4.

    At that time, I felt 5 to say what I always wanted to say, and I didn't think I had hurt her feelings very much. That night I saw my mom crying in her room, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might 6 me. Even so, I hated her tears from one eye. I made a decision: I must study hard and leave my mother.
