"Mommy, what are you doing?" asked Susie.
   "I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a dinner for Mrs. Smith next door.”
   "Why?" asked Susie, who was .only six years old.
   "Because Mrs. Smith is very sad; her daughter {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  in an earthquake and she has a broken heart. We need to look after her. "
   "Why, Mommy?"
   "You see, Susie, when someone is sad, they have trouble{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the little things like cooking dinner or other chores. Because Mrs Smith is  our neighbor, we .need to do some thing to help her. Mm Smith won't ever be able to talk with her daughter or do all those wonderful things {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  mommies and daughters do together. You are a very smart girl, maybe you'll think of some way {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  care of Mrs Smith. "
   Susie thought seriously about {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  she could care for Mrs Smith. A few minutes later, .Susie knocked on her door. Mrs Smith answered the knock with a "Hi, Susie.”
   From her sad look, Susie noticed that Mrs Smith must {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  for a long time. "What can I do for you, Susie?" asked Mrs Smith.
   "My mommy says that you lost your daughter and your heart is broken." Susie held her hand out shyly. In it was a Band-Aid(创可帖). "This is for your broken heart.” Mrs Smith burst into tears. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  her tears she said, "Thank you, darling girl, this will help a lot."
   Mrs Smith accepted Susie's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  and she put Susie's Band-Aid in a small picture frame(相框). She feels a little{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  every time she sees it. She wisely knows that healing takes time and support.

    In November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story for the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} time. However, this story is not new to Chinese children. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.

    The Monkey King is not just any normal monkey. In fact, he {#blank#}3{#/blank#} does not even look like a monkey! This is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he can make 72 changes to his shape and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, turning himself into different animals and objects. But {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he can hide his tail, he cannot turn himself into a man. To fight bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Sometimes he can make the stick so {#blank#}8{#/blank#} that he can keep it in his ear. At other times, he is able to make it big and long.

    The Monkey King has excited the children of China for many years. And as soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago, Western children became {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in reading this story because the clever Monkey King {#blank#}10{#/blank#} fighting to help the weak and never gives up.

    When the teacher asks a question in class, Wang Xiaobin never raises his hand and this situation is very common at middle schools. The 15 - year - old boy always {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for other classmates or the teacher to give the answer. "What should I do if my answer is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ?" Wang asked. Wang said only six or seven students in his class raised their hands when a question was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . "I think it's a problem that may affect our study, but I am afraid to make {#blank#}4{#/blank#}in front of my classmates," he said.

    Why didn't the students raise their hands in class? Hu Wei, a teenager expert from Chinese Academy of Science(中国科学院) gave an explanation to us. He said, "They are lack (缺乏) of confidence, and they're afraid of losing faces {#blank#}5{#/blank#}they may give wrong answers. "

    To encourage students to raise their hands in class, Hu suggested that teachers should try to guide and encourage students to offer their answers {#blank#}6{#/blank#} repeating the question. Hu also advised students not to be shy, but to be brave {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to try.

    Sun Ping, 16, from Tianjin, always raises her hand as soon as she comes up with the answer, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}when she isn't sure if she has got it right. Sun can't understand why some of her classmates keep {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in class. She enjoys raising her hand a lot. "It keeps me enthusiastic (热情的) and confident to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. My idea," Sun said. "Raising my hand has really made me excellent."

    It was early morning. I got {#blank#}1{#/blank#}quickly. It was still autumn but colder than usual. It snowed for {#blank#}2{#/blank#}days. I forgot to check the weather report today, so I went out in a jacket.

    It was still dark, cold and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. At that time, I knew I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a wrong decision. I shook a little bit. Suddenly, a car stopped and one of my {#blank#}5{#/blank#}got out of it. We greeted each other and talked about the bad weather.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, he took off his coat and handed it to me. He smiled and said, "It's too cold. Put it on." Looking at the warm coat in my hands, I was touched and thanked {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. After that, he drove away. When I looked up at the sky, I noticed the sky was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and peaceful. I felt warmth inside me and I didn't shake any more.

    The world is full of kindness. Love is always there.
