Today, I want to tell you a story about something I did when I was 14 years old. I made some friends in school 1 they turned out to be bad. They were some boys who stole（偷盗） 2 and sold them. Whenever we were stealing a bike, a boy named John would break the lock 3 two other boys were watching out. Then one of us would 4 the bike to a cave （洞穴）. The next day, we would meet there and repaint the bike. When we stole four or five bikes, we would sell them 5 a few hundred dollars.

    One 6 afternoon, we went to an apartment in Bukit Batok. We found a bike on the fifth floor and started to work on the 7. It was hard to break. We spent 10 minutes 8 it. We were about to escape with the bike when the owner of the bike came out of the elevator. “My bike!” he 9.

    We dropped the bike and ran down but two policemen nearby 10 us. We were taken to the police station. Our parents were called and our teachers were told what had happened. The police took down what we had done. The next day, a bright Sunday, I 11 to the Boys' Home.

    Life in the Boys' Home was very hard but it 12 me a very important lesson. I learnt that stealing was not right. At the Boys' Home, the officers helped me and encouraged me 13 my ways. I decided to 14 stealing.

    To this day, I feel so 15 for what I have done. I hope you will learn something from my story.

"Sunrise gold" is a color that means a lot to me. The color mixes gold with a bit of red and yellow. I like it because it gives me peace, energy and hope in the face of difficulty.

When I was in the eighth grade, I took part in a speech competition. Although I made all my efforts, I didn't win. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I had trouble falling asleep that night. It was 3:30 in the morning, and there was nothing but me and my unhappy heart. I got up and went upstairs to the roof (屋顶) top to clear my mind.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} At first, it was orange and red, but after a short while, the sun awoke from its sleep and painted the sky with its gold colour. The sunlight shone on everything—trees, roofs and streets. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The rays of light woke up the gentle morning wind and sent it moving across the field, touching my face and everything gently. It also woke up the early birds, which were singing happily.

There and then I realized that past is history, no matter how much we regret it. I thought to myself, "Maybe I can start once more, just like the dawn(黎明)." {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Now, whenever I face difficulties, I remember what the "sunrise gold" made me understand that morning.

A. So I never doubted I could deal with it.

B. I tried to remember all of what I heard.

C. The failure hit me hard and made me feel painful.

D. I went downstairs, feeling energetic and hopeful.

E. I stayed there until a ray of light appeared in the sky.

F. I felt its warmth flow through my body and into my heart.

Here is a story about a bookshop. The bookshop was very large and it included many different books. A poor student found a very helpful book in the shop，but it was too e{#blank#}1{#/blank#} for him to buy. He couldn't get it from the library，either. So he went to the shop to read a little a time everyday. The bookshop was open for 24 hours so he could go there a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. He usually took a notebook with him and c{#blank#}3{#/blank#} down some useful information from the book. One day， h{#blank#}4{#/blank#}，he couldn't find the book from its usual place. "Maybe the bookstore s{#blank#}5{#/blank#} it this morning to others，"the student thought and was leaving when he saw an assistant smiling at him. To his surprise，the assistant pointed to the book in a corner. "I put the book there so that you can find it easily，"said the assistant. The student went on with his reading after saying thanks to the assistant.
