    Helen Keller lived in the U.S.A. She was a great woman.

    When Helen was a baby, she got very sick. After many weeks, the doctor said, “She is better, but now she can't see or can't hear.” Her mother and father were very sad.

    After a few years, things got worse. There was no way for Helen to speak with other people. She heard nothing. She saw nothing. She didn't understand anything.

    Then one day a teacher came to live with Helen and her family. The teacher helped Helen learn about words. Helen was a very bright child and soon she learned to spell her first word. When she was older, she went to college(大学).

Helen was very famous. She helped many blind(盲) and deaf(聋) people. She traveled around the world and helped many people.

    Helen was a very old woman when she died. The world remembers her today as a brave and wonderful person. She was blind and deaf, but she found a way to see and hear.

    It was the best plan ever. First, we would make sure she was out of the house. Then we would get all the work done. By the time she got back, it would be wonderful. So we got to work. How to get her out of the house? Well, we came up with a good idea. We told her that we needed some school things. She went out to get them.

    The first part of the plan was done. Next, we called aunts, uncles and Mum's friends to come to our house quickly and made sure there were no signs that they were there. We put all their shoes away. Then we cleaned the house and hung(悬挂)the balloons. The house really looked nice. Then we waited.

    When we heard her car driving up the porch(门廊), we became quiet. The moment the door opened, we shouted, "Surprise!" The look on her face was worth ten thousand dollars. Smiling and crying at the same time, she hugged all who were there. Lastly, she came to us. She said, "My best present of all is my two lovely daughters." And she hugged us happily.

    In England, it often snows in winter. When it snows, our garden looks very beautiful under the snow, and it is very nice to play in snow.

    When I got up this morning, the land was all white with snow. There was too much snow. It was Sunday, so we didn't go to school. After breakfast, some of my friends came over, and we made a big snowman. It had a big mouth and two ears. Its eyes were black and its nose was red. Someone put an old hat on its head. We were very happy. After lunch, we went to the park to make snowballs. In the park, we met quite a few boys from our school and we had a fight with the snowballs. I took a photo of our snowman. I like snow very much.

Butterfly told the old Tree， "I have just come across the garden，and there I saw the Best Thing in the world. "

Dog was sitting under the old Tree and heard1 words. He thought， "the Best Thing in the world﹣now what can that2 ？It should be3 bones. I will go and find it. " Dog stood up and4 down towards the garden. 

He was running so quickly that he didn't see Rabbit5 Rabbit jumped out and asked， "Where are you going in such a hurry？"

"To find the Best Thing in the world，" Dog replied and ran even6 . 

"The Best Thing in the world？" said Rabbit. "That must be carrots. They will7 by me. " So Rabbit joined him. 

After8 while，they met Duck. 

"Where are you going in such a hurry？" asked Duck. 

"To find the Best Thing in the world，" they shouted. "The Best Thing in the world？" said Duck. "9 is better than my own little home and the warm sunshine and the beautiful blue sky. " So he stayed10 home and played among the flowers with Butterfly11 .

Dog and Rabbit ran far and fast all day long and still they didn't find the Best Thing in the world. When the day was over，they started12 back to their homes. How tired and hungry they were!

They met Butterfly halfway home. 

"Did you find the Best Thing in the world？" asked Butterfly. 

"No!" they sounded unhappy. 

"Duck has it，" she said. "13 happy with the things you have. This is the Best Thing in the world. You have tried to find the things you want most，14 ignored （忽略） the things you have now. "

The Best Thing in the world is to value15 you have. 

What do you usually do on weekends? Last Saturday, I helped my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(亲戚) in his garden, a place that always makes me happy. The garden was a bit messy, so we {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(决定) to clean it up. Next to the big oak tree in the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(中心的) part of the garden, we planted new flowers to make it look nicer.

We worked {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(耐心地), digging, watering, and trimming(修剪). We felt the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(温暖) of the sun on our backs as we worked. Each task needed {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(注意), and we tried to do everything {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(正确地). As time went by, we got a bit {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(累的), so we took breaks under the tree and enjoyed the quiet.

At one point, a friendly {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(陌生人) came by and asked how to get to a nearby park. I smiled, stood up, and gave him {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(方向). By the end of the day, the garden looked great, and I felt really proud of what we had done.
