At that time I saw the firemen rushing into the 2 and I ran to 3 to one of them. I asked him if there was someone inside.He replied that there was a whole family. My heart missed a beat(跳动) because I realized(意识到) that the family was4 . And it was5for them to run away from the inside.

    I asked if there was an extra (多余的) uniform for firemen. He said “6”，and I quickly wore it and went in with three more 7. As I went inside, it was so hot that I felt as if I was melting (熔化).I passed by the living room and saw the curtains (窗帘) 8. When the firemen tried to 9 the fire, I found the people. They 10themselves behind the curtains. One of them was unlucky 11he was seriously burnt. I helped them out of the burning house 12. Finally we were safe from the danger and the firemen put out the fire 13. The officer of the firemen 14e for my courage(勇气) to help those people.

My first day of school

    Fear started taking over. I was walking into my first school in America. I had a long journey from India to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future.

    On the first day, I was already confused because back in India the teachers switch(转换) according to periods while most of the students have the same periods, but here it was totally1.

    With anxiety(焦虑) on one hand and fear on the other, I opened the door 2. Since I was a bit late, everyone's eyes were on me as I entered the room. Without paying attention to them, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, "Yes." His voice 3 me a little. Then he asked me to choose a seat. I didn't actually want to 4a seat. In India we had assigned (分配的) seats, so I never needed to worry about that.

    I was confused about which buildings to go to, but I 5to get to my classes without asking anyone. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. It was already noon. The bell rang and I entered my next class. Again, I asked the teacher if I was in the right class. Then I chose a seat, sat down and waited for the6 to begin. The teacher looked at me with a puzzled face, "Why don't you go for lunch?" "But the bell just rang," I said. "That is the lunch bell," she said. Without another word I 7for the cafeteria( 餐厅) . I felt lucky because we didn't have this in India.

    Every confusion seemed like a difficulty I had to get through to reach my 8. At the end of the day, at the school gate I found my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn't so bad. I couldn't wait for the next day to come.

    There was once a bad king. All his people hated him very much. One day in a summer he was swimming by himself in a river. The king was a 1 swimmer, but when he was in the middle of the river, suddenly he didn't feel well. He cried out "Help! Help!" At that time two farmers were working in the field near the 2. They ran over, jumped into the water and saved the king. They didn't know that he was the king 3 they pulled(拉) him out of the water.

    The king was very happy, so he said to the farmers, "You have saved my life. Now you may ask for anything, and I'll give it to you."

    One of the farmers said, "My son broke his 4 last week, and he can't walk. I'm very sad, you know. Please send him a good 5. "The king agreed. Then he said to the other farmer." And what can I do for you, old man?" The old man was very clever. He thought for a few minutes and then he answered, "You can do a very important thing for me," "What's that?" asked the king. He thought that the old man would ask for some 6 or something else.

    "Don't tell anybody that we have saved you," the old farmer answered.

    "Well, I have pills for 8, biology and world history, "the doctor says.

    The student asks for all of them. He takes them all and suddenly becomes 9at all three subjects.

    Then the student asks, "Do you have a pill for math?"

    The doctor says, "10just a minute." He goes back into the storeroom, 11 back a pill and puts it before him. The pill is12and heavy.

    "I have to13that huge pill for math? That's too big! The student says 14.
