    One day, there was an earthquake in a small mountain village. Nothing was destroyed and 1 was hurt. But a big rock fell from a nearby mountain and stopped in the middle of the road.

    When the earthquake2many people came to the road and saw the rock. Some of the strongest men tried to lift the rock off the road. But they couldn't move it. They tried to push it but3.They tried to pull it with ropes but nothing worked.

    “Well,” they all agreed, “There's nothing we can do about it. We'll have to change the road.” At this time a boy of 12 years old said, “I think I can help you to move the rock.”

    “You?” they shouted, “What are you talking about?” The men all4 at the boy.

    The next morning some people came into the street.One of them shouted, “The rock 5!” More people ran out to see. It was right. The rock wasn't in the road any more. It wasn't even near the road.

    “This is6,” they said, “Where did it go?”

    The boy stood in the street,7, “I told you I could move it last night. and I buried(埋) it.”

    The boy said.

    The people looked 8.“You see,” he said, “I dug a deep hole next to the rock and I dug a small incline(斜坡) up to the rock and the rock9down into the hole by itself. I covered it with earth.”

    The people shouted,“What a10 boy!” And some of them said, “Why haven't we thought of this good way?”

    An old man walked slowly into a restaurant with his cane (拐杖). His old jacket and worn-out shoes made him very different from others. 1 talked to him except a young waitress. Mary watched him move towards a seat by the window. She ran over to him and helped him 2. Then she put his cane against the table 3 he could reach it. Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded a thank-you.

    After the old man finished a good meal, Mary brought him the 4. After he put the money in his pocket, she handed him his cane and the old man walked to the front door5 with the help of the girl. Holding the door open for him, Mary said, "Come back and see us, sir!" The old man 6her with a smile and agreed.

    When Mary went to clean his table, she was7 . Under the plate, she found a business card, a 100—dollar bill and a 8which read, "Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It is shown by the way you treat others. You have 9the secret of happiness."

    In fact, the old man was the owner of the restaurant. That was the 10time that Mary or any of his workers had seen him.

    At a dark night, a man came to a lonely village. When he walked slowly, a yellow light suddenly 1 at the end of the road. It came from a 2 which was carried by a man. A villager near him said," Here Blind Sun comes."

   "Blind?" the man said," That's too 3. A blind man has no idea of day and night, can't 4 the beauty of nature, or even doesn't know what the light is. Wasn't he funny to carry a lantern?"

    As the lantern was coming near, the yellow light moved gradually to the man. The man asked, "5, may I ask you whether you're really blind?"

    The blind man answered," Yes, the moment I stepped into the world, I can't see 6."

    The man asked," In that case, 7 do you carry a lantern?" The blind man smiled," At night all the people without light are just as blind 8 me, so I light a lantern."

    The man said," I see, you light for others."

    But the man said," No, I do it for 9."

    "For yourself? But there is no 10 to do that." the man felt surprised again.

    The blind man explained," Were you ever knocked by others 11 the dark?"

    The man nodded," yes, sometimes."

    The man said proudly," Believe it or not. I 12 knocked anyone. Although I'm blind, I carry the lantern, not only light for others, but let others see me, 13 they won't knock me."

    After hearing that, the man was lost in thought…

    In fact, everyone has a lamp in himself, light it actively not only for others, but also for yourself! – Never put yourself in a dark 14 when you feel left out and find it hard to 15 well with others, are you ready to light your lamp?
