One sunny spring morning, Clark and I were {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in the school library. Then I looked out ofthe {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and saw Mr. White, my English teacher crossing the school yard. “I don't want to meet him,” I said. “Why {#blank#}3{#/blank#}?” asked Clark. “He just doesn't like me.”I explained.

Clark thought for a second and said, “Maybe you've gotit wrong. He probably {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you don't like him, so he's not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} toyou. People like people who like them. If you show interest in him, he {#blank#}6{#/blank#} beinterested in you. Get to talk to him.”

    At last I walked down and greeted Mr. White warmly. Helooked at {#blank#}7{#/blank#},surprised. And then we laughed together and talked happily. I could imagine Clark watching {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the window, smiling.

    Learn to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people first. You'll find that the light you shine on others will soon be shining back at you even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} brightly.

    There was a small village near a mountain. People there loved their village very much and they grew many {#blank#}1{#/blank#} on the mountain. Water in the rivers was very clear and the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was clean. People lived a poor life, but they were very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . After a few years, some people in the village started to cut down trees to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for money. There were some people from cities {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to visit the village. People began to kill some wild animals as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to treat (招待) the visitors. Of course, they made lots of money. But {#blank#}7{#/blank#} knew what the village would be like in the future. As time went on, there were fewer plants and animals and the water became {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. The visitors became fewer and fewer. Several years later, people there knew they must stop destroying (破坏) {#blank#}9{#/blank#} . They would like to live a happy life as before, so they began to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} new plants. They hoped the village would become as beautiful as before.

    Ms. Brown is a teacher. Her students are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} these days because of (因为) the school {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the Summer Palace. It's next week. But she is so {#blank#}3{#/blank#} these days and she doesn't have {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to go. She tells her students about it and they are not happy. But at last, the students persuade (说服) her and she decides (决定) to go {#blank#}5{#/blank#} with her dear students.

    Different people like different things. What do these people like?

    Daming's grandparents like {#blank#}1{#/blank#} some exercise in a park every day. Daming's mother likes to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for clothes. She spends much money on them. Betty's cousin likes to read {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and magazines and she also loves films. Tony's sister likes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and going to concerts.
