Helen is a student. She usually gets up at 6:00 in the morning. Then s he has 1 at 7:00. She goes to school 2 about 7:30. She is never late for(从不迟到) school. Helen is a clever girl, 3 she doesn't have any friends.

    One morning, on her 4 to school, she finds a yellow cat. She thinks, “The cat can't find 5 way home.” So she takes it to the zoo.

    Then she hurries(急忙) to 6, but she is late. All the students and her 7 look at her. Her face looks red.

    After(在……之后)class, her teacher 8 to the students, “Helen is a 9 girl. She finds a cat and takes it to the 10.”Now all her classmates like her.

    In our country we think being modest(谦虚的) is a virtue(美德) and being proud is a bad thing. One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese student, “You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite 1 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the girl had not heard him 2. He said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” 3 the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know 4 to say.

    What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't 5 a compliment(恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer “Thank you” instead of “No”. She 6 understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the 7, people will feel 8 and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the 9 you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you”.

    If you are modest and say, “No, I'm 10 I can't do it well”, while working in a western country, people may think that you really can not do it. If you often say, “No”, you'll certainly be looked down upon by 11. When asking 12 a job, if one says something like, “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try”, he or she will 13 get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence. In my opinion, being confident does not 14 being proud, so sometimes you should be confident 15 being modest.

    London is such a wonderful city. It is very large. The Thames River runs1the city from west to east. So the city has2parts: the South and the North. In the North, there are important buildings, shops, big parks and interesting places.

    The weather in London is good.  In winter it is not very cold and in summer it is not very hot3the city is near the sea.  People say4London is a foggy city and it often rains.  It is true.

    Last year, when I5in London I met one of the6fogs in years.  You could hardly see your hand in front of your face.  Cars and buses moved along with their lights on. When evenings fell, the weather7even worse.  The fog was as thick as milk. 8the buses and cars stopped. I happened9an important meeting on the other side of the town, but it was impossible to find a car. I had to get there10.

    Mr. Zhou is a Chinese teacher of Grade 1 in a school. One day while he1 into the classroom, he heard a low2, “Here is the teacher. I don't like him because he is a3 fellow (家伙). I'm sure the boring fellow is going to4 putting in commas (逗号) today." It was Bill's voice. He was talking with a boy next to him.

    The teacher didn't get angry. He said 5 about it, but began to talk about putting in commas, and then he6 down the sentence on the blackboard," Bill says his7 is a boring fellow."

    The class laughed and Bill's face8 red.

    “Now," said the teacher. "I'll show you9 important commas are."

    He put10 commas into the sentence and then read, "Bill, says his teacher, is a boring fellow."
