Mr. Brown was going away for a week. He said to his son," {#blank#}1{#/blank#} anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has {#blank#}2{#/blank#} out for doing something and will be back {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a week." He was afraid his son couldn't remember this, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and give it to him.

    Four {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (day) passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no one to come and that the paper was of no {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (valuable) for him, so he put it on fire that evening.

The next afternoon, someone came and said, "Where is your father?" The boy looked {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (worry). He said to himself. "I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (put) the paper on fire already." So he {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (shout), "No more." The man was so surprised that he said. "No more? I met your father last week! And tell me {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it happened! ""On fire yesterday evening." the boy said.

    Patrick Johnson, an artist for the Washington Post, found some treasure in his new house-35, 000 dollars in a place where no one could see it. Although he had car and house payments in his head, he still decided to return all of the money to the previous(先前的)owner of the house, Mr Williams. Would you had done the same？

    Just hours after he had bought the house, Patrick came into the small house, where he was planning to lay out his tools and hang things up. He looked up and saw a little hole in the wall. He didn't know what it was inside, so he walked towards the wall. It was very dark inside, but an old box caught his eye." I caught the thing. It was heavy. I thought it might be some pieces of wood, "he said. Actually it was not. It was filled with lots of dollar bills. But he and his wife knew they had to return the money to Mr Williams.

    "I've got two boys and we teach them to be honest and to do what is right. I knew this was a teachable moment that I would never get back again, "Patrick said to his wife." So I thought we would do something honest with it. It's been a great thing for us and our kids."

My uncle David was thirty-six years old when he resigned(辞职). At that time he was a  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(主管) in a big company. Everyone thought he was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(发 疯 的) and worried about his future. But it  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(似乎) now he is more successful. Uncle David always wanted to be a presenter. He loved working in radio and enjoyed the feeling of  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(采访) people. That was why he left the company and started from scratch(从头开始).

It was not easy, however. At first, he found a  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (兼职的) job at a radio station. His main job was to collect the latest   {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(国家的) and local news and write reports. It sounded boring, but David kept doing this day in and day out. With a good educational   {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(背景) and great effort, he did a great job. After several months his  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(文章) caught the manager's attention. One year later, he began to introduce his own programme. It was a success and it won the hearts of many  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (听众).

Uncle David has set a good  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(例子) for me. What I have learnt from him is that it's never too late to fulfill my dream.

When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental (精神的) health problems. 

When he left the hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, the USA. But when he was there, he did things in a different way. For example, he didn't like the doctors' white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn't like Adams because he was too different. 

But Adams believed that people in hospital need more than medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital and often dressed up like a clown to make the children laugh. When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital, called "The Gesundheit Institute", together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people. 

Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film (called Patch Adams), Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said, "Adams is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who is a friend. I enjoyed playing him."

When people talk about Disney cartoon characters, they often think of Donald Duck(唐老鸭). Donald Duck is a white duck with a yellow-orange mouth. He usually wears a sailor shirt, a cap and a red or black bow tic(蝶形领结), but no trousers at all. 

Donald Duck was born on 9 June, 1934. He is the oldest duck in the world. He is very funny. He makes a lot of people laugh again and again. Children around the world all like him. 

Domald Duck first appears in the cartoon The Wise Litle Hen. The little hen works very hard. But Donald Duck and his friend Peter Pig do not want to work. Then the little hen gives them a lesson. She tells them that work is important. 

Donald Duck is like a common man in a big world. He is kind-hearted. He wants to help others. But things always go wrong. He doesn't like it. He gets angry easily. Then his girlfriend Daisy comes to help him. So he tries it again. He thinks there must be a better way to do things. But he does not know another way.
