Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual. She was in high spirit and I knew I didn't need to 6 her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we 7 us, we were surprised by the view.

It was great fun especially as it slowly became much 9 .

      At the foot of the mountains, colourful butterflies flew around us and we saw many sheep eating green grass. Then we had to 10 our caps, gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.

Once upon a time, a king went for hunting in the forest. While returning back, because of the dark he couldn't find his way. At last he found a small 1 . The king went over and 2 the door. A poor farmer lived in the house. He 3 great care of the king. 

Before leaving the next day, the king gave the farmer a nearby sandalwood (檀香木) forest as a gift. But 4 , the farmer didn't know the value of sandalwood. He started to make coal from the sandalwood and 5 it in the market. At last, only a few sandalwood trees were left in the forest. 

One day, it rained a lot, and the farmer couldn't make coal from the 6 wood. So he cut down some branches (树枝) and took them to the market. The sandalwood 7 very good. Many customers came to buy it and they wanted to pay a lot for a small branch. The farmer didn't 8 that. He asked one of his 9 , "Why does everyone want to pay huge amount for this wood?"

The buyer 10 , "This is sandalwood. It has good smell and it's very 11 "

When the farmer understood this, he started to cry and just at that moment an old man was passing by.

 12 he knew everything, he said to the farmer, "All people in the world can make 13 But it's better late than never. You still have some sandalwood trees left. You can use 14 wisely."

The farmer 15 his mistake and then went back and sowed (播种) more sandalwood seeds in the forest. He would use his sandalwood wisely from then on. 

Last year, we took a trip to New York City.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} we arrived at our hotel, it was around I am. My son Joseph looked out at the lights of Times Square and said he{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(want) to go outside.I told him it was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} late to go out, but he kept looking out of the window and said, "Just for two minutes."My wife and I just looked at each other, surprised and said "Two minutes". We got {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (dress) and walked to the center of Times Square. When we got there, my son pointed at {#blank#}5{#/blank#} lights and said "Dad, look!" and then started to fall asleep.

It took us {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(minute) to get ready for the 20 seconds we spent outside, but it made {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(we) son happy and that meant a lot to us. That night, I learned a lesson about this small experience.I used{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (find) an excuse(借口) to do something else,but in fact I could have happy moments in our lives.

Because of my son, I learned that I am {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(big) enemy to my own happiness in my life. Happiness is created{#blank#}10{#/blank#} ourselves. And it is a door that is always open. However, we are the ones who have to decide if we are going to walk through the door.
