My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is  7  of people, too,” she added.When I   8  that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a wonderful narrator,” she said,    9  me of how much I loved to read stories'aloud. Thanks to my mother's  encouragement,  I got to know everybody had his or her own    10  in the world. I felt proud of the role in the play.

    "It's over! Thank goodness!" school was 1 and I was tired. I 2 at the front of the school bus.

    Janie, the driver, tries to 3 the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of talks. I try to listen politely, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth 4.

    "My father's ill ," she said to no one in particular(特别地). I could see worry in her 5. I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students 6 a smile.

    With a sudden change of interest, I asked, "what's wrong with him?"

    With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, "Heart trouble." Her eyes lowered as she continued. "I've already 7 my mum, so I don't think I can stand losing him." I couldn't answer. My heart ached for her.

    I sat on the 8 thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn't want to anyone to go through that.

    Suddenly I realized Janie wasn't only a bus 9, that was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares 10. 

    I suddenly 11 very selfish. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.

    I shouldn't have been so selfish and self-centered. 12 people is an art.

    Mike and Dick work in the same office. They don't like the cold weather. And one day they decided 1 their holiday in Australia. Their plane 2 Sydney at nine in the morning. They had a good rest in a hotel. The next morning they 3 a car in the city and began their travel. A few hours later the sun 4 in the sky and there were no shade trees beside. It was so hot that they could hardly go on driving. They had to stop 5 around. Mike found a river was about half a kilometer away from them. They were both very happy and drove the car 6.

    there. Soon they got to the river. Before they jumped into the water, Dick saw a boy 7 under a big tree. He asked, "Are there any sharks in the river, boy?" "No, there aren't." answered the boy. So they began 8 in the river. After a while, Dick felt something hit 9 his leg. He told Mike about it. They were afraid and stopped swimming. Dick asked 10, "Is it true that there aren't any sharks in the river?"

    "Yes, sir," said the boy, "There're a lot of crocodiles(鳄鱼)in the water. All the sharks（鲨鱼） have swum away!"

    The first day of university our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a 1_ hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled（有皱纹的）, little old lady with a smile. She 2_ a minute and said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a big one.

    We became immediate friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I always loved listening to this ‘time machine'3 she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of this year Rose became a campus role model and she 4_ made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she loved the attention from the other students.

    At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football club. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the platform. As she began to deliver he prepared speech, she dropped her cards on the floor. A little upset she simply said, “I'm sorry I'm so nervous. I 5 beer for Lent（大裔节）and this wine is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order …” As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; wo grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge6 between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older, but it does take talents and abilities to grow up…”

    One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. However, these words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

    A poor young man named Liang lived in a small Chinese town. One night, an old man visited Liang in a dream. He gave Liang a brush.

    "Use this magic brush to help the 1." he said," but don't use it to help people who are rich and greedy (贪婪地), or the skill will leave your 2 and you will never paint again."

    When Liang3, he found the brush lying on the table by his bed. He painted a butterfly and was 4 to see it fly off the paper.

    Liang went out of his house and started to paint for the people in need. He painted food for 5 people and clothes for the people who were cold.

    However, a rich man heard about the brush and asked Liang to paint some gold for him but Liang didn't 6.

    "If you don't paint for me, I'll cut your fingers off," the rich man said, "Then you will never 7again."

    So Liang painted an island of 8 in the middle of a blue sea.

    "How will I 9the island?" asked the rich man. Liang painted a boat for the rich man, who got in it and went on his way toward the island.

    But when the rich man was halfway there, Liang painted a 10 in one side of the boat. The boat sank into the water and nobody ever saw him again.
