One summer evening I was sitting by the open window， reading a good novel. I was so 1 the story I was reading that I didn't 2 that it was getting dark. When I realized that it was too dark for me to read 3 ， I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone 4 ， "Help! Help!" It seemed to come from the trees at the end of the yard. I looked out but it was too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounds like a child， but I could not 5what someone would be doing in our backyard， unless one of my neighbor's children had climbed a tree and had not been able to 6.

    I decided that I should go out and have 7 in the yard， just in case someone was8. With a flashlight and a stick in my hands， I went out into the yard. Once again I heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. "Who is there?" I 9 as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no 10. With the help of my flashlight， I 11 all over that end of the yard， including the branches of the trees. There was no 12 of anybody or anything. I came to the conclusion that my 13 made fun of me， probably nothing is happening there.

    I had to go back into the house and sat down to read my book again. Not long after that， I was 14 by the loud cry of "Help! Help!" This time it was from right behind me! I dropped my book and jump up. There， sitting on the table was my neighbor's large green and red 15.

    Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Rakesh, he studied and lived in a boarding school(寄宿学校). Every night he jumped over the wall and played outside. He 1 returned before dawn (黎明) and lay on his bed again, so no one knew that Rakesh went out at 2.

    One night as usual, Rakesh found 3 asleep. He decided to play outside again. He went into his teacher—Mrs. Green's room 4 and saw her 5. Then Rakesh walked out towards the wall. Near the wall, there was a ladder in the bushes, he hid it there. He 6 the ladders and he climbed it up, then jumped over the wall. 7 at that time his teacher was awake and saw him going out.

    8 got up and took away the 9 from the wall. A few hours 10, Rakesh returned. In the dark, he tried to climb 11 from the wall. Sadly, there was no ladder, instead, Mrs. Green was standing where the ladder was and waiting for him. Rakesh was very 12 to be punished (处罚), but to his surprise, she just helped Rakesh to get onto the ground , said, "Rakesh, at least  13 a warm coat with you, when you go out at night."

    Mrs. Green's 14 made Rakesh know his own faults. He apologized (道歉) and never went out at night again. It is the 15 lesson that he has ever had.

    One day in class, the teacher held up an apple. She stood on the platform (讲台) and said, "Please 1 it in the air, and…"

    One student 2 his hand and said, "I can smell it. It is the smell of an apple."

    The teacher stepped 3 the platform, passed by each of the students and said, "Smell 4 to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air."

    Half of the students put up their hands to show that they could smell it. The teacher returned to the 5 of the classroom and asked again who else could smell the apple. The rest raised their hands except one boy. The teacher came to the boy and asked, "You really can't smell the apple?"

    The boy answered, "No, I can't smell it. I don't think it's a 6 apple."

The teacher 7 at the boy and said to the class, "He's right! It's not 8 to get the apple smell from this apple."

    All of the other students had been tricked. Some may have thought that perhaps the apple didn't have the apple smell, 9 they didn't dare to speak up. They just 10 the first student blindly and went along with him.

On his way home, Hans sang a song, watched the rabbits run around and picked some flowers for his mother, 5, the sky got dark and heavy rain began to fall. Hans felt afraid and started to 6 . Just then, he heard the sound of water running away. He looked around carefully, and then 7 a very small hole in the dam(水坝).

    Hans felt scared 8 he knew what could happen. The 9 could get bigger and bigger. Then the dam could break and the whole Harlem would be covered by the water. Hans knew what to do. He put his finger into the hole, 10 no more water could come through it. "Please, someone, help me!" Hans 11 , But there was no one to help him. After some time, he began to feel very cold and tired, but he could not 12 the dam. All night long, Hans waited and waited...

    The next morning, a farmer walked by and heard Han's cries. I am trying to stop the 13 ,"the boy said. "Can you help me?" The farmer called some other people and they quickly 14 the hole. Then, they took Hans home. Everyone was very proud of that 15 boy.
