Once upon a time, a young man came across a spring(泉水) of clear water while crossing the desert. The water was very sweet, and he filled his leather container(皮革容器) so that he could bring some{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to his teacher. After a four-day journey, he presented the water to his teacher.

The old man took a deep drink, smiled{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and thanked his

student very much for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart. After a while, the teacher let a{#blank#}3{#/blank#} student taste the water. He spat (吐) it out, saying it was terrible. It was clear that the water had become no longer fresh sweet because of the old leather container. The student questioned his teacher, “Master, the water tasted strange. Why did you still like it?” The teacher replied, “You{#blank#}4{#/blank#} tasted the water while I tasted the gift. The water was the container for an act of love and kindness and nothing could be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} .”

After reading the story, we can understand that when we receive a chocolate as a gift from a child, we get more than the chocolate

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} . What we should do properly is to express {#blank#}7{#/blank#} naturally to him or her because we love the idea within the gift.

Gratitude (感谢) doesn't always come naturally.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} , most children and many grown-ups like only the thing given rather than the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} shown in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty of feelings and{#blank#}10{#/blank#} of gratitude. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

    I was doing my homework and my parents were watching me news when the phone rang．I had won a competition． The {#blank#}1{#/blank#}was a trip to Guadeloupe with a group! The next day，on my way home from school，I borrowed a(n) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} about Guadeloupe from the library and read it at night．

My flight(航班)to Guadeloupe from Dublin was too {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to catch a bus，so my dad drove me to the airport(机场)．When my group arrived in Pointe-a-Pitre，Guadeloupe's largest city, a taxi {#blank#}4{#/blank#}us to the hotel．It was raining and cloudy when we left Dublin but the sun was {#blank#}5{#/blank#}in Pointe-a-Pitre.

The others in the group were Spanish and German．French is the language of Guadeloupe but {#blank#}6{#/blank#}of us could speak it．{#blank#}7{#/blank#}for the next few days，we had language classes before lunch．After lunch，we {#blank#}8{#/blank#}different places in the city and in the evening we played cards．

Then we {#blank#}9{#/blank#}from our hotel in the city to a small island called Terre-de-Bas．For the next two weeks，I stayed {#blank#}10{#/blank#}the Dinart family in their house and I became another member of the family．I got on well with them and I really enjoyed my trip．

    The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the Wonders of the Ancient World. It was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  more than 4,000 years ago in Egypt. It is so {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  that millions of tourists from around the world come to visit it every year.

    In Egypt there are over 80 pyramids and the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} one is the Great Pyramid. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#} on the west bank of the Nile. In fact, all the pyramids along the Nile are on the west bank. The ancient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to the beginning of life and the setting of the sun to the end of life. That is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their dead bodies were buried(埋葬) on the west bank of the Nile.

    You can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} imagine how huge the Great Pyramid is. It has over 2 million blocks. Some are as heavy as five school buses. Although they were heavy, workers were {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to put a block into the pyramid every three minutes.

    The workers, Egyptian men and women, worked in teams. The teams had different {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Some dug up the stones. Others moved them. Another team cut the stones. The last group put the stones into the pyramid. There were so many different teams, but the pyramid is perfect. No stone is in the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} position.

    But how did the Egyptians move those heavy stones to the top {#blank#}10{#/blank#} any modern machinery (机械) ? No one knows for sure. Many things about the Great Pyramid are still a mystery.
