This is a story about a mountaineer named Phillip. Phillip belongs to a mountaineering team that planned to climb a mountain. He had a keen desire to be successful and well-known. Therefore, in order to enjoy the1of being the first to reach the mountaintop. Phillip went to climb the mountain alone one night while the other mountaineers were sleeping.

    Clearly, climbing at night wasn't a smart decision. But he still wanted to give it a go. After several hours' climbing, he2got to the top. How excited he was to see the top a few metres forward! But he suddenly slipped and started to fall. At that moment, his entire life flashed before him.

    While thinking about how close he was to death and how3he was, he felt the rope around his waist suddenly tighten around him. His body was hanging in mid-air.

    He screamed, "Somebody help me!"

    Suddenly, a low voice came from the valley(山谷), "Cut the rope!"

    "What？"He couldn't believe what he heard.

    "Cut the rope around your waist!"

    It was dark all around, so he couldn't see his surroundings. He4to cut the rope but to hold onto it as tightly(紧紧地) as he could

    The next morning, when his fellow mountaineers found him, he had died of exposure to the low temperature, holding tight to the rope in his hands. But he was only ten feet5a big rock!

    If he had cut the rope, he might have landed in a safe place, build a fire and6someone who passes by. Then he might have survived. So sometimes giving up is the way forward.

Zhu Xiangbing has been teaching at the Dongxi Primary School in the mountains of Hubei Province for 39 years. He has helped over 200 students get out of the mountains.

Back in 1984, Zhu graduated from middle school and was preparing to take the exam to enter high school. One day, the leader of his village came to visit him and asked if he would like to be the teacher at the village's primary school. It was a hard decision for Zhu to make. Accepting the job meant he would not be able to leave the village, but if he refused the offer, the students there would be left with no teacher.

After spending a whole night thinking, Zhu decided to take the offer. Then he began to work hard to learn teaching skills. Besides learning from his own teachers, he also taught himself in his spare time. Quickly, Zhu became a good teacher. Zhu often walks for several hours on mountain roads to visit his students' homes. He encourages them to study hard. With his help, more than 30 students from poor families have been able to go to school and receive education.

Because of the school's terrible working and living conditions, many teachers don't want to stay there. To get them to stay, Zhu tries his best to make them feel at home. He often invites them to live and eat in his house.

Over the years, Zhu has had many opportunities (机会) to leave the village, but he has turned all of them down. "I want to stay and help more young teachers grow and take root (扎根) here so that our kids can get a good education," he said.

Once upon a time，there was a very bad man.When he saw people 1 happily，he became angry.What he hated most was when people were polite to each other，saying words like "please" and "thanks".2 ，he didn't use sentences like "Excuse me，could you please tell me how to get to the bookstore？" He thought all the kind and polite words were useless.So he 3 with a plan.He decided to invent a 4 which could steal words.With this machine，he would be able to steal "excuse me"，"please"，"sorry"，and5 words which people used to be polite.Finally，he made it.When people said kind and polite words，nothing came out.All those words were stolen by the "bad" machine.It seemed that people really didn't need to be polite.

However，after a few days，everyone began to argue with others and people got6 easily.

The bad man was glad about his 7 .However，there were some "special" girls.They were unable to 8 ，so they had to communicate by using sign language（手语）.They were 9 kind and polite because the "bad" machine couldn't steal gestures（手势）.Soon they10 what had been happening to everyone else.They followed the bad man，found the "bad" machine and broke it.After that，people began to say kind and polite words again.

I arrived home from work, but my mind was still busy. I was going to perform a very important experiment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about it. And I wanted to shake off my worries very much. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, sat on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost at once, my mind left behind the experiment and went into a wonderful world different from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.

 Growing up, I was actually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest novel, while my copy sat collecting dust on a bookcase. Instead, I would choose to read through the books about school lessons. After I started graduate school, extra reading didn't interest me at all, but I spent most of my time at school working on research papers and my mind couldn't process nonfiction(非小说类纪实作品) books at home. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.

 To help me stick to it. I made a New Year's resolution: I would read two fiction books per month. The result was that I loved fiction almost at once, along with many unexpected results including ones that are good for my schoolwork.

★some of the best books I read were historical fiction books. I learned life in different countries, as well as challenges which people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected advantage: I' ve started to think more deeply about the different types of the scientific problems in my study and could se rve them with all my heart.
