    Once upon a time, an eagle(老鹰)was flying in the sky when he suddenly saw a beautiful hen. The eagle came near the hen and said, "My pretty hen, I Love you. Will you be {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (I) wife?"

    The hen was scared for the eagle was so strong. Her husband, the cock had gone out to look for food and her kids had gone away somewhere lo play with other {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(child). The hen quickly answered, "I'm willing to be, but let me first grow wings like yours, so I can fly {#blank#}3{#/blank#} high as you." The eagle replied, "OK! This ring is for you as a sign of our betrothal(订婚）. Tie it around your neck till I return."

    The hen agreed {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (do) so, and the eagle flew away.

    When the cock met the hen the next day, he was very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (surprise) to see the ring around her neck. He said, "Where did you get that ring? Throw it away immediately. "

    The hen did this and the cock was cheerful I again. But at the weekend, the eagle came {#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

    The frightened hen hid herself behind her door but the eagle soon found her out. Suddenly he cried, "Where {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) the ring that I gave you? Why are you not wearing it?"

    The hen was very scared and said, "Forgive me l I lost it yesterday. I was walking in the garden when I met a large snake. I was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} frightened that I ran fast. When I got home, I couldn't find it."

    The eagle looked at the hen {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (angry) and said, "I don't believe you. You have hurt me. I will punish you. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you don't marry me, I will snatch( 抓）away all your chickens from you. But I will promise to forgive you only if you find my ring. Good-bye! "

    Ever since, all the hens in the world have been scratching( 轻抓) the ground to find the eagle's ring.

    When doing Christmas shopping, Joy came across (偶遇) Nick, the least popular student in school because he wore strange clothes and had a face only a mother could love.

    After dinner, Joy's family went {#blank#}1{#/blank#} church for the Christmas Eve service. A man with Bible (圣经) read a story about Jesus, who came {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (help) people on Earth. Joy's thoughts kept turning back to Nick. It must be terrible to be lonely on Christmas Day with his parents dead. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tear) started to run down her cheeks but she brushed them away.

    That night, while everyone else {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sleep) like a baby, Joy was thinking ways to help Nick. As soon as she heard her parents get up, she {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (quick) jumped out of bed. She told {#blank#}6{#/blank#} about Nick. Then she asked, "Shall we invite him over today?" "Sure," said her mother who was always happy {#blank#}7{#/blank#} guests came. Her father smiled. When Joy called Nick two hours later, he was deeply {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (move). He joined them for dinner. To Joy's surprise, she enjoyed {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (spend) time with him. Joy came to understand sharing Christmas cheers is the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (great) joy to Nick, even to the whole world.

Art has always been my favorite {#blank#}1{#/blank#} because it allows me to do my favorite bobby. I still remember when I was young, I would always paint on books, pieces of paper and walls. But now in school, there are only four art lessons {#blank#}2{#/blank#} week. I notice that every lesson seems to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} quickly because I lose myself in my artwork. Drawing takes me to a wonderful world.

I love drawing so much that whenever I have time between classes, I find myself drawing something. I have spent so much time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my skills that even my classmates are often surprised. But I never talk with too much pride about my {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and I am always thankful for their praise. 

I especially enjoy drawing cartoons because I can just shut off my {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and let my creativity run {#blank#}7{#/blank#} like a horse. Once in a while, I draw things that even surprise myself. Some are pretty, while others are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} that should not be seen by the teachers. They are only for my classmates. 

So, I must say that I always feel {#blank#}9{#/blank#} when I am drawing something enjoyable. For me, drawing is a natural way to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} myself. It allows me to follow my instincts (直觉) easily and lets my feelings guide my hand.
