Have you ever offered a helping hand to those who are in trouble.

    One day, two 1 were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. They thought the woman looked very 2. They went up to her and said, “Are you going to town If you are, we will help carry your basket.”

    “Thank you,” 3 the woman, “you are very kind. You see I'm weak and ill.” Then she told them that she was now going to market to 4 the pears which grew on the only tree in her little garden.

    “We are all going to the 5.” said the boys. “Let us have the basket.” And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked 6 with the heavy basket, but happily.

    The other day, I saw a little girl stop and 7. a piece of orange peel (皮), which she threw into the dustbin (垃圾桶), “I wish 8 would throw that on the sidewalk,” said she. “Someone may step on it and fall.”

    Perhaps some may say that these are not 9 things. That is right. But such a little thing shows that you have a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart. We must not wait for the 10 to do great things. We must begin with little things of love.

The day was Thankful Thursday. Thursday has become my day to go out and do charity(慈善) work with my two 1 . On this special Thursday, we had no idea exactly 2 we were going to do. At noon I 3to a McDonald's with my daughters because they kept telling me that they didn't have enough to eat at breakfast. There we saw some homeless(无家可归的) people in the street and we decided 4 lunch for them.

We ordered fifteen 5 from McDonald's and started to give them out. We were 6 to see those thankful people holding up the lunch bags.

    Then we noticed a dirty, old woman 7 at the corner(角落). We handed her our final lunch bag. When we 8 the car and wanted to drive home, she walked to our car and said, "Thank you, lady! No one has ever done 9 like this for me before. "Well, I'm glad that we were the 10 ,"I replied. "So, why don't you eat the lunch now?" I asked.

She just looked at me 11 her tired eyes and said, " I'm not going to eat this lunch. I have a little girl at home 12 she just loves McDonald's, but I can 13 buy it for her because I don't have the money. But tonight she can have McDonald's! "

    I don't know if the kids noticed(注意) the tears( 眼泪) in my eyes. So many times I questioned （询问）myself whether（是否） our acts of kindness were too 14 to make a difference. However, at that moment, I 15that we cannot do great things but we can do small things with great love.

    Everyone has one or more friends. But not everyone has friends from other 1. I do! I have an e-friend from the US. 2 name is Susan. And she is twelve years old. She is the same age as me. She has a 3 family with six people in it: two elder brothers, one elder sister, her parents and her. But I'm the only 4 in my family. How lucky she is!

    Her favourite subject is Maths. 5 she doesn't like History. She thinks it's boring. After class, she often plays basketball 6 her friends. Many American students like playing basketball. But I like playing table tennis.

    She usually rides a bike to school because her house is not 7 school. She says it's good for her health. But I always go to school 8 bus. She likes to listen to music, but she never 9 in class. Her favourite song is My heart will go on. Do you think it's wonderful?

    Her dream is to visit China one day. She wants to learn about our country and learn how to 10 Chinese. I'm sure her dream will come true.

Once there lived a king in a small country. Every summer, the king went to his palace(王宫） near a1 , and then went back to his palace in the city in autumn. 

One afternoon, the king went 2 in the forest. He didn't tell anybody else where he went, so he was very happy to enjoy the peace as he swam. Suddenly, 3 heard a loud noise. Looking around, he saw a big bear coming towards( 朝 着 )him. The king was very4 . He jumped out of the water and ran away at once. He ran and ran until he was completely lost. Finally, he 5 an old house in the forest. He knocked on the door and an old 6 opened it. "I'm your king, " he said to the old man. "I'm really hungry. Bring me something to eat7 . "

The old man lived a hard life and his food was not good enough for the king. He had only three eggs, 8 the king was very hungry, the farmer had to cook the food and gave it to the king. The king felt much better9 he ate them. "Thank you, good man, " the king said. "How much should I pay for that?"

"Twenty pounds. "

"Twenty pounds? How10 they are! Are eggs rare(稀有的)here?" "No, " answered the old farmer, "but kings are!"
