The story is about a young student. She worked very hard at her lessons. She worked so hard that she became ill. She couldn't go to sleep at night. When she got up the next morning, she felt very tired.

    So she went to see a doctor. Hearing the student's words, the doctor said, "You are too stressed out. You must eat more food like vegetables and tofu. Besides you can try to count(数) numbers when you are lying in bed. By the time you reach one thousand, you will be asleep. I'm sure of it."

    The next day, the student came to see the doctor again. "Well," said the doctor, "how are you feeling today?"

    The student still looked tired. "Yes," she said, "I tried to count one, two, three, four... up to one thousand. But when I reached five hundred and sixty, I feel sleepy. I had to get up and drink some coffee so that I could go on counting up to one thousand. But then I still couldn't be asleep."

    An old man was going home late one night with his horse and cart after a day's hard work. When he was not far away from his house, the light on the cart went out. He tried but could not repair it. He was near his home, and so he went along the road without a light. When a policeman saw this, he stopped the old man.

    "Where is your light?" asked the policeman. "No man may take a cart along the road at night without a light. You know that. You have broken the law." "I had a light, but it has just gone out," said the old man.

    "I don't believe that story. What's your name and where do you live?" asked the policeman. "Please don't write down my name," said the old man. "My home is just there. You can see it from here. I had a light nearly the whole way."

    "You came all the way without a light. What's your name?"

    The old man quickly took the policeman's hand and put it down on the top of the light. The light was still hot and burnt the policeman's hand. The policeman jumped and he was very angry. "Now, what do you think?" said the old man. "Did I come all the way without a light?"

    On the first day of the New Year 2019，I made up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the world. I didn't know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months!

    My journey began with attending TESOL certification(认证) course in my home state of Florida last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours' study online, I received my TESOL certificate.

    I was asked to contact Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement，I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn't wait to explore the country!

    After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailand's cities! After that, I attended the week­long seminar(研讨会). At the end of the seminar, I was transported to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.

    I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It's a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else's life, right in front of you!

    Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I've ever met—I've never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received，where everyone you pass is so friendly to say "Hello" and "Good morning". I've been taken out to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay them in the future.

While being abroad, I have tried to collect small things, and I have been taking lots of photos. I have my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(自己的) map and I have circled all of my favourite restaurants, cafes, parks and other places on it. I have even coloured it to show whether it's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(可能的) for me to have free Wi-Fi or lunch at these places. I plan to make a scrapbook {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(用……) all these things.

"Scrapbook" is an empty book. People usually take it away with them on holiday, and fill it with "scraps" of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(邮票),tickets, maps, photos, etc. You will always have the memories (记忆) of your favourite places and why you liked them so much. So it is really {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(有价值的) to have it. If you ever want to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(返回) to that place, you can get some information from it. My scrapbook started in last {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(9 月).And now, eight months later, it is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(几乎;差不多) full!

You can't {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(想象;设想) how happy you can be by just looking at an old ticket with a special {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(日期) on, or a napkin from your favourite restaurant. It's the little things that can make you smile.

I didn't like team(团队) sports When I started university(大学), I 1 to try kung fu So I joined 2 kung fu club The people in the club are3 I was happy to join it In the first year most of4 were new students I always went to the club twice a week5 It wasn't a team sport, so I didn't feel sorry for not being very good I wouldn't influence(影响) others 6 exercising, my body and mind got better7 , in the last year of university I was too busy to do kung fu most of the time.

 8 I moved to Italy(意大利) this year, I found a great club The club was more interesting than the one at my university.

I think that everyone should try doing sports I feel good when I 9 sports I don't think a lot of people enjoy basketball at school but maybe they10 enjoy yoga or volleyball. So let's do sports now!

Fan Zhaoyi is a hotel owner at "Snow Town". In the past，most people there {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（make） a living by cutting down trees. But it was difficult to take the wood out of the farm because the snow was too heavy. The snow season at the farm can last up to seven {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （month） a year. Many workers had to find other jobs {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（slow）. 

"At that time，these workers {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（encourage） to work in the tourism area，but many people were afraid to try. Few families were brave enough {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（provide） hotels，but I was a brave one. " Fan said. 

He turned out to be right. The high mountains，thick forest and proper temperature make snow there{#blank#}6{#/blank#} special that more and more visitors go to visit the farm. 

"I prepared four rooms in {#blank#}7{#/blank#}first year and started to make money later，" Fan said. His success also encouraged other people. The "Snow Town" has also been trying {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （it） best to provide better service for the tourists. It is going to make itself one of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（popular） places for visitors. 

Last year，the winter tourist season at the "Snow Town" began，and 100，000 tickets were pre﹣sold. The white snow and red lanterns have won the hearts {#blank#}10{#/blank#}thousands of tourists from all over the world.
