What do you think a hero is? In this story, a brother and a sister have different ideas.　　

It was on Apri1 10. Kwan was excited. The newspaper was 1 a writing contest(比赛). The winner's story would be printed in the newspaper!“It says to write about someone2 you think is a hero,” Kwan said. “I will write about my favorite soccer player. He's 3 hero.”

 Kwan's sister, Cho, asked,“Can I enter the contest?”

“No. You're too little,” Kwan said.“You won't win." He4his soccer ball and went outside.

 Cho knew what to do.5 , she took the newspaper. Next, she read the contest rules. Then, she began to write. “I believe that I can win,” she said to herself.

 When Cho had finished, she found her mother. She told her mother6  the contest. “Who did you write about?”asked Mother.

“I chose Rosa Parks,” said Cho. “She was a true 7. She believed everyone was equa1 (平等的). She wanted all people to be treated the same.”

On tht morning of June 3, Kwan ran outside to get the newspaper.“The contest winner's story 8 in today's newspaper!” he shouted

Two minutes 9 , Kwan came back inside.“I guess I need to reconsider(重新考虑) what I said to you, Cho. You are not too10  . You won the contest!”

“Your story taught me a lot,”Kwan said, "Rosa Parks was a true hero."

    I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago. I'm the mid-field player on my team. But in fact that's not 1 now. I was the mid-field player because, as I said, this was my 2 game. That's a good way to end a high school football career (生涯), especially if you win, but even though you don't, it's 3 to leave at a high point.

    I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad 4 football, and he used to practise with me at home – passing, catching, running. We used to practise almost every evening 5 it got too dark. He tried to teach me everything he knew about the 6.  “Just remember: don't ever 7.” “Stay in the game. Don't lose your concentration (专注).” “Go out there and give 110 percent every time.” Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words 8 in my ears.

    I had a lot on my mind 9 the game today. I don't like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn't sleep at all 10, and when the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where 11 just wanted it all to be over, finished, done. But then when the game started, my mind became 12. I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn't hear the crowd, I didn't feel the cold or the pain, I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the 13, and it was just me and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light 14 me the way to the goal. It was a beautiful, empty feeling.

    It's all over now, and it's really getting cold here. It's starting to snow. The sun's almost gone, and I can 15 see the goal. Now it's dark and I'm sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it's time to say good-bye and move on.

    Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One early morning, I1 a call for a taxi. When I arrived at the building, it was 2:30 a.m. and I found the building was dark except for the only light in a first floor window.

    Many drivers would just shout once or twice and then drove away, but I thought this 2 might need my help. So I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a3, elderly voice. After a long time, the door opened. A small old man showed up before me,4a small bag. He kept thanking me for my5. “It's nothing,” I told him.

    “Oh, you're such a good man.” He said. When we got into the taxi, he gave me a (an)6, and then asked, “Could you drive through the city center?”

    “But it wasn't the7way.” I answered quickly. “Oh, I'm in no hurry.” He said. “I'm on my way to a hospital. I don't have any family left. The 8 says I don't have much time left.

    I 9 started the taxi and shut off the meter(计程器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city center. He showed me the building where he once worked. We drove10 the church where he got married. He would never forget that happy moment. Sometimes he'd ask me to slow down in front of a building and would sit11the darkness for a long time, saying nothing. When the sun began to rise, we drove in silence to the address he had given me. When we arrived,12 without thinking, I gave him a big hug. “You gave an old man a little moment of13. Thank you!” He said with tears in his eyes.

    I was completely lost in thought for the rest of the day. What would happen if I had refused to do14 I did? We always think that there are no15 moments in our lives, but great moments are just in what others may think small and unimportant ones!

    One day, when I was 1 on my computer in the computer class, a monster jumped out of the monitor screen. The monster 2 his finger to point to Mr Morgan, our computer teacher, and made him 3. The whole class screamed(尖叫)!

    Then, the monster started 4 all kids disappear in the class. I didn't know where I was sent to. I shouted, "Help!" Suddenly, my classmates showed up. Sam shouted, "Ah! There 5 a monster here! "That is not a monster!" said Emily. "It's' a motherboard(主板) inside a computer."

    It got hotter and 6. Mary asked, "Where are Brant, Julie and Clarie?" We heard a scream. We looked up and 7 a leg. We climbed up to have a 8 look. Brant, Julie and Clarie were in the fan. When we helped them out, Mat said," What about 9 the computer? ""We may get lost here forever, "said Sam. "But we can't stay here and do nothing. So we broke the computer together. Then amazingly, we were all back to our classroom.

    We found that the monster was still in our classroom, eating our lunch.

    Seeing us, the monster ran away 10. The monster was never seen again. I believed it went back inside the computer.

    Billy's favourite colour was orange. But he couldn't see what orange looked like.

    A month after he was born, his mother noticed that his eyes weren't as1as a normal baby's. "Billy would2be able to see. He is blind," the doctor said. Even so, with the hope to help Billy learn3 about the world around him, his mother kept describing everything she saw for him.

    Not just through his mother's words, Billy saw 4his ears and hands, too. He had perfect hearing. "In fact, he5 see many things that normal people don't notice."

    6Billy lived in the dark, he always believed a dream would light up his life. He found that he was7 in computer science. So he began learning it at seven years old. As a young boy, he8going to Stanford University some day. And for years of efforts, he finally achieved his dream.

    Many people wanted to find out the secret of his9. Billy explained, "Just move forward! Don't let any difficulty10your dream from coming true."

    You cannot choose what you are given, but you can choose how you make use of it.
