My name is Li Lei and I' m from China. I like playing {#blank#}1{#/blank#}and I can play ping-pong {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. It's easy for me. My favorite (最喜欢的){#blank#}3{#/blank#}is Ma Long.

This is John. He's my cousin. He likes tennis and he plays tennis with his friends{#blank#}4{#/blank#}class. He thinks playing tennis is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} John likes Roger Federer, and he {#blank#}6{#/blank#}to meet Roger one day.

    In the old days, we had a lot of stories between brothers and sisters about how to care about each other. However, most of us don't know how important it is to care about others in{#blank#}1{#/blank#}world. Once, two brothers worked together on a farm. One was married (已婚的) and had a large family. The other had no wife yet. Although they lived in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}houses, they {#blank#}3{#/blank#} everything they got from the farm.

    One day, the unmarried brother said to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, "It's not fight that we share all the rice. There is only one person in my family, so I need {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  than my brother." So, every night he took a bag of dee from his store-room and went{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the field between their houses to put it into his brother's store-room. At the same time, the married brother thought, "It's unfair (不公平的) to share all the rice. I'm married and I have my wife and children to care about me when I get {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . However, my brother has no one to take care of him." So, he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to take a bag of rice and put it into his brother's store-room. A few months passed by. They found it strange that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} rice never became less. Then, one dark night the two brothers {#blank#}10{#/blank#} into each other. Slowly they began to understand what happened. Their bags fell on the ground and tears filled their eyes at once.

    Many years ago, there was a Greek king named Midas. King Midas loved gold very much. He had more gold than any other king in the world, but he still wanted more.

    One day, a beautiful fairy (仙子) came to his palace. "Midas, you are the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} man in the world," said the fairy. "Yes," said the king, "but I want more gold because gold is the most wonderful thing in the world!" "Your wish will {#blank#}2{#/blank#}" said the fairy. "From tomorrow morning, you can turn everything you touch into gold."

    King Midas got up very early the next morning. He wanted to see if his wish had really come true. He touched his bed with his {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and the bed was turned into gold. The king was wild with joy. He ran around his palace and touched everything he saw. Everything was turned into gold!

The king felt hungry after running around for a long time. He decided to have his breakfast. However, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he touched a bowl of milk, the bowl, together with the milk in it, was turned into gold. What's more, the bread and the meat were also turned into gold when he touched them. In the end, the poor king ate {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    King Midas was sitting hungrily at the dinner table when his little daughter ran to him. He hugged her and the little gal became a gold statue (雕塑) {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. The king felt afraid. "Fairy," he shouted, "take away this {#blank#}7{#/blank#} gift! Give me back my little gal!"

    In a moment, the fairy was standing before him. "Do you still think that gold is the greatest thing in the world?" asked the fairy "No, no!" cried the king. "I have learned my lesson!" "Very well," said the fairy. "There is a spring(像) in the garden. Sprinkle (洒) things that you have touched {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the water from the spring."

    The king {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to the spring. He ran back with a bottle of water and sprinkled the water on his {#blank#}10{#/blank#}head. Soon, the little girl came to life. He then sprinkled his breakfast. To his great joy, it turned back to real bread and meat!

    Can you climb trees? Maybe your parents ever told you, "Don't climb trees. It's {#blank#}1{#/blank#}." But Xiamen University is going to have a new class: Tree-climbing.

    Zhu Chongshi, the president of Xiamen University, once visited Cornell University in New York, and he was surprised {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the course there. In Tree-climbing class, the teachers do not just let the students {#blank#}3{#/blank#} only with their hands. They teach the safety skills like {#blank#}4{#/blank#} used in rock-climbing. Students wear special caps and clothes to protect {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. And they use ropes so that they cannot {#blank#}6{#/blank#} or get hurt. The class is very useful. Students are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to learn the skills, like swimming. In a time of disasters such as floods, earthquakes, etc., such knowledge may make a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} between life and death.

    No classroom subject could ever give them these skills. Students should find and develop their own inborn (与生俱来的) skills and talents. A teacher should no longer see the child as an {#blank#}9{#/blank#} cup and only pour knowledge into it. I hope climbing trees will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} up the potential (潜力) in many students.
