When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home. With my bag and some sandwiches, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I'm 1.”

  “If you want to 2, that's all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.” I 3 my bag and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the door again.

  “Wait a 4,” Mom said. “I want your 5 back. You didn't wear anything when you 6.” This really angered me. I took my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and 7, “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered, “but when you close that door, don't hope to come back!”

    I was so 8 that I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out of it. 9 I found that I was outside with 10 on. Then I noticed that two neighbor girls were walking to my house. I ran to 11 behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was    12 that the girls went away. I rushed to the front door and knocked on it loudly.

  “Who's there?” I heard.

  “It's Billy! Let me in!”

    The voice behind the 13 answered, “Billy doesn't live here any more. He ran away from home.” Glancing(瞥) behind me to see if anyone else was coming. I begged(乞求), “Aw, come on, Mom! I'm still your son. Let me 14!”

    The door opened and Mom's 15 face appeared(出现). “Did you change your decision about running away?” she asked.

  “What's for supper?” I answered.

    At eight o' clock last Sunday morning, I was sitting on the No. 101 bus to go to the zoo when I suddenly saw an old man lying on the side of the street. I told the driver 1 it. The driver stopped the bus. All the passengers (乘客) got off quickly to see 2 happened.

    It is Sunday afternoon. Mary goes shopping with her mother. Her mother wants to buy some food for supper. Mary wants to buy a T-shirt and some school things. They come to a shop.

     "What does your shop sell?" Mary asks. "A lot of things," the girl in the shop says. "You can buy food, drinks, clothes and school things in our shop."

    Mary and her mother go into the shop. There are many people in the shop. Mary finds a nice white T-shirt.

    "How much is the T-shirt?" Mary asks the girl in the shop.

    "It's eighty yuan."

    "That's too dear. Do you have a cheap one?"

    "What about the green one? It looks nice. And it's only thirty yuan."

    "OK, thanks a lot." "You are welcome."

    After that, Mary buys some school things too. Her mother buys a lot of food, like bread, cakes, meat and fish. They get home very late.

My Plan for the Weekend

When I was 7 years old, I went to the USA with my mom. I can still1 the first Halloween holiday I had in the USA.

2 the morning of Halloween, we visited a pumpkin farm. I used the pumpkin to make a lantern which had two big eyes and a scary mouth. In the afternoon we 3 the Halloween costumes(服装) and went on parade(游行) in school. Some of the costumes were nice,4 some of them looked scary. I chose to wear a suit of Superman's clothes.

I did a lot of 5 that day, but the part I liked best was" trick or treat" in the evening. After dinner,I went outside with an empty bag. I hoped 6 a lot of candies from people.

At first, I was a bit nervous, so when I knocked at the door, my heart was 7 very fast. A lady came out, and I said carefully to 8 ," Trick or treat". My voice was very low, so low that I couldn't hear myself speak. To my 9 , the lady was so kind that she gave me two candy bars, and I was so cheerful. I thanked the lady and moved on. I couldn't remember how many houses I visited, but I could remember how many candies I got, I got 91 pieces of candy.

10 happy Halloween I had !

One day a man saw an old lady standing by her expensive car, clearly in need of help. So he stopped his old truck and got out. Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe.

The man could see that she was frightened, so in his friendliest voice he said. "I'm here to help you, madam. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson."Bryan quickly fixed the car and the lady thanked him. Then she asked how much she should pay him.

But Bryan wanted no money. He was just giving a hand to someone in trouble. This was normal for him. He said, "If you really want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, help them and hink of me."

After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road until she reached a small café where she decided to stop for something to eat. As the pretty waitress took her order, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant. Although the waitress looked tired she was very kind. As the lady was going to pay the $10 bill she remembered Bryan's words.

She paid with a hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. There were tears in her eyes when she read it, "Somebody once helped me the way I'm helping you. If you want to pay me back, continue being kind to others." Under the note were nine more $100 bills.

Was the old lady an angel? The waitress was so excited that she called her husband to tell him the news. "Bryan Anderson my dear... you're not going to believe what just happened..."
