When I was in Grade 7, I had no interest in history .I didn't listen {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in class and couldn't finish homework on time. So I didn't do well in this {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    In the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} term, there came a new humorous history teacher. I still had no passion for history. One day, she said,: “We'll have a test in the afternoon ”.Since I wasn't good at history, whenever I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a history examination, I had to cheat .At that noon, I made lots of cheat sheets quickly.

    In the afternoon, I entered the classroom confidently. Soon my history teacher came in, along with our geography teacher .They both wore mysterious smile on their {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. When the paper was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} out finally ,all of us found it was just a piece of geography paper. I became as {#blank#}7{#/blank#} as a wooden chick at once. Just then, our teachers couldn't help {#blank#}8{#/blank#} loudly. ,which is just like a slap hitting on my face. I only got 12 points that time.

    Later, I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that day was April Fool's Day, but it wasn't interesting for me at all. It was a deep lesson for me. I learned that if I didn't {#blank#}10{#/blank#} hard, I might be a real fool one day.

    Will Johnson has worked his way up the list of most popular stars in his country. In fact, it is not surprising that Will is so successful if we know about his early life. Some valuable lessons he learnt as a child have strongly influenced him {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his later life. One of them was from his father {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  was strict with him and his brother.

    Once, Will and his brother Harry {#blank#}3{#/blank#} given a job to rebuild a broken brick (砖) wall in the yard. The wall was fifty feet{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and around sixteen feet high. The boys had to mix concrete (水泥) and place only one brick at a time. They didn't know why their father gave them {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a huge job.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , with the attitude (态度) of "one brick more", both Will and Harry rebuilt the wall in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} period of six months. Each time they were about to give up, their father {#blank#}8{#/blank#}them up patiently. Both brothers were so sad about the job at {#blank#}9{#/blank#} , but after completing the task, they felt a sense of pride, and so did their father. Even today when Will thinks that he won't be able to do something, he will look back to his experience and keep telling {#blank#}10{#/blank#}"one brick at a time".
