Do you enjoy climbing mountains? I'd like to tell you a true story about John and Peter. They were {#blank#}1{#/blank#} mountaineers. As John was experienced, he was always asking Peter to copy his example. “Would you like to stand on the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of the world, Peter?” “Of course . It has already {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my dream,”Peter answered.
On a sunny morning, the two men started for the top of Mount Qomolangma. After they climbed over one of the most {#blank#}4{#/blank#} slopes, they found a man lying in the snow. “He's going to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ,”Peter looked at John and said, as if he would help the man. “Leave him by himself and just follow me !If you bring the burden with you , I'm {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you'll lose your life.”John warned Peter . Then he turned around and walked forward {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . It was too cold. After thinking for a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} , Peter made up his mind to help the dying man. He carried the man on his back and made his way forward . Little by little , Peter's temperature made the man {#blank#}9{#/blank#} . The man came to himself! And soon he could move all by himself. Together they moved side by side.
About two hours later, they kept up with John.To his surprise , they found that John was almost dead in he snow. He had been {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to death.

Happiness is for everyone. In fact, happiness is always around you if you care about it. When you are in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} at school, your classmates will help you; when you study hard at your {#blank#}2{#/blank#} , your parents are always taking good {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of you; when you get succeed(成功), your friends will say congratulations {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you; when you do something {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , people around you will help you correct it; and when you do something good to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , you will feel happy, too. All these things are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . If you pay attention to them, you can see happiness is always {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you. Happiness is not the same as money. When you are poor, you can say you are very happy, because people can't buy happiness {#blank#}9{#/blank#} money. When you meet problems, you can also say loudly you are very happy, because you have many friends to help you. So you can't always say you are poor and you have bad luck. If you agree with me, you can be a happy and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} person.

    Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art.

    Chinese paper cutting, or jianzhi, is a kind of folk art. It's a way to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} people's hope and feelings. It has a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of more than 1, 500 years.

    Chinese clay art is well known and popular all over the country. Now many kids learn to make it in schools or even shopping {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. To make Chinese clay art, the clay is shaped by hand into things, such as cute children or {#blank#}7{#/blank#} characters from a Chinese fairy tale or historical story. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the things get dry in the air, they are fired at a very high heat and then polished and painted. It takes several weeks to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} everything. Although they look so small, they look very real. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.
