My name is Damian Costa. I was born in a small village in Italy in 1952. I spent the first few years of my life there before my family1 to Perth Australia.

    We arrived in Australia in the summer of 1957. I went to 2 and I had to attend special classes to learn English as all the lessons were taught in English.

    We did not have much3, so we lived very simply. My parents worked as cleaners. They earned (挣钱) just enough for us to survive(维持生活) and 4 a little money. My father had always wanted to 5a small restaurant. Finally, 6 ten years of hard work, in June 1967, he managed to save enough and opened our first pizzeria(比萨饼店).

    7business was slow at first, it soon got better. I helped out at the pizzeria after school and at weekends. Just two years after we8 my father decided that we needed a full - time waiter. Then he decided to 9 me the art of making wood - fired pizzas.

    Today we have three branches(分店) in Perth, Sydney and Adelaide. My children have 10 learned how to make pizzas and they quite enjoy it. I hope to pass on the business to them.

    A small boy was trying to move a big wooden box out of his yard. The box was much 1 than the boy. He tried his best to move it, but the box would not move at all. After 2 for a glass of water, the boy tried to move it once more. This time, he pushed harder, but he still 3 move the box a bit. He was quite tired and lost heart

    The boy's 4 was coming home from work around this time. He stopped to watch his son's fruitless efforts. The father didn't help him, 5 instead asked, "Son, have you tried your best? I mean, are you doing 6 you can?"

    "Yes, I am!" the boy cried.

    "No," his father said calmly, "you're not. You have not asked me to7 you can?"

    Asking for help is not a weakness. Many people need help, and 8 the best of us need help. It is 9 to know when to ask for help and understand why you need it. Never be afraid to ask others for help when you're in 10.

In 2010, Justin Horner was driving down a busy freeway in Portland, when his tire(轮胎) blew out. He pulled over to the side of the road and made a(an) 1 that said he needed help.

Three 2 later, a van finally pulled up. Out came a family of 3 . They worked together to 4 Horner's car. They found a log on the side of the road, and using it to lift the car. When they finished, themom pulled out a big bottle of 5 , and they drank and washed their hands.

"I just thanked them and thanked them and thanked them,"Horner recalled."And I tried to give her money. Ionly had a $20 bill, and I just thought, you know, it's the 6 I had with me. And she just 7 take it."

But Horner was adamant(坚定的), and finally he put the money in 8 hand, and walked away. Then he 9 their small daughter call out, to ask Horner if he was 10 . Indeed he was, and she came over with abag of sandwiches. They exchanged thank you, she got into the van, and the family started to 11 .

"12 they're trying to get into traffic, I opened the bag and my money is 13 the bag,"Horner said."

Horner immediately ran over to the 14 , which was starting to pull into traffic, to get the father's attention.

"He rolls down his window. He sees me coming and he's just 15 his head. And I keep saying like, 'Porfavor, por favor'—I'm holding a bill out,"Horner remembered.

"And he just kind of puts his hand up and he just says,"‘Today you, tomorrow me.'"

Do you know Borrowing Arrows （箭） with Straw（稻草） Boats？This is a famous{#blank#}1{#/blank#} about two smart men﹣﹣Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. 

One day，Zhou Yu gave Zhuge Liang an impossible task. He asked him to make 100，000 arrows in ten days. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}，Zhuge Liang accepted it at once. "No problem，" Zhuge Liang said. "I'll bring you 100，000 arrows in three days. "

Zhuge Liang asked his soldiers to fill 20 large boats{#blank#}3{#/blank#} many straw men. On the early morning of the third day，Zhuge Liang's soldiers sailed the boats towards the camps of Cao Cao's army on the other side of the river. The soldier shouted and beat their drums{#blank#}4{#/blank#} . 

While Cao Cao's soldiers{#blank#}5{#/blank#} sailing on the river，they heard the sounds. At that time，they{#blank#}6{#/blank#} they were in danger. But they could not see through the{#blank#}7{#/blank#} fog （雾） on the river. Cao Cao asked his soldiers to shoot arrows towards the sounds of the{#blank#}8{#/blank#} and the shouting. Zhuge Liang's boats were soon full of arrows.
