Several months ago , a couple with a little girl moved in next door to me. The girl seemed too quiet to make any noise, while the parents were always 1her loudly. Whenever we met my new neighbours , I always spoke, but the only 2 I ever got was a hello from the 4-year-old girl.

    I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I returned, they were just coming from their home and the little girl was holding the door open for others. I stayed in the car doing unnecessary things as I wasn't in a 3. The parents were telling her to get into the car immediately. I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for 4 .

As a disabled man, I can't hurry at 5 but I hurried as much as I could and thanked her. She was smiling like a lovely angel. I was so 6by her small act of kindness. That afternoon I was shopping and I saw a white bear. I thought of the 7and said to myself. "I believe she would like that" so I bought it.

    The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her parents. She was so 8of her bear and thanked me as if I had never been thanked before. The mother and father9thanked me.

    Now when we meet , we all speak, and in a friendly manner I might add. As time passes, I don't hear that shouting as often.10, hardly at all.

    Last night we had about four inches of11. I looked out at my car and wondered 12 I was going to keep my doctor's appointment(约会). When I opened the outside door, there was my car with all the snow cleaned. I can't express how I felt at that moment. The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building,13when I saw him the next day, I asked him if he was the good man that cleaned my snow. He said 14. He wanted to but his wife said she wanted to do it.

    Isn't it amazing that a 4-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? It is said that good things usually come from 15.

    There was a man who played the piano in a bar. He played 1 well that many people came just to hear him play. But one night，the boss told him, "Some customers are 2 listening to the piano. They live on(靠……为生) 3 you to sing. So sing a song or you will not get paid!"

    Then he had to sing a song. He had never sung in  4 before. But everyone was moved by the song "Mona Lisa" he sang this time. 5 had ever heard such a beautiful song before!

    He might have 6 the rest of his life as a common piano player in a bar, 7for this time, he went on to become one of the best-known  8.

    You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not realize that your talent is great, but it may be 9 than you think! Also, if you keep trying, most skills can be improved. The question is not, "What talent do I have?" It is rather, " 10 will I use whatever talent I have?"

    My parents used to tell me how important school was for me, but I didn't think so. I paid little attention to it. But one thing let me finally 1 what my parents meant.

    One day, when I walked 2a mobile phone store, I saw an advertisement on its door. It was hiring (雇用) new workers!

    "Sir, are you hiring people?" I went into the shop and asked. "Yes, but you should be the man 3 we need. " the manager answered. He looked at me for a few4 from head to foot. "Do you have a high school diploma(文凭)" 5 he, "Or you have any work experience.

    I felt so ashamed (羞愧)and uncomfortable that I didn't know what to 6 , so I just turned around and left.

    I could not fall asleep that night, and I thought a lot about my 7. "I must go to school or I can't do anything without a good 8 ." I said to myself silently. I never went back to the store again 9I finished my study and got a diploma.

    Everything looked the same when I returned to the10 , the same people and the same design. However, compared with last time, I had more 11. The manager told me they needed new 12so it was a great chance for me.

    I 13 my diploma to the manager. He looked at it and said, "Great, you are in."

    Now I am still working in the same store. With this experience, I always 14 people to attend school. Education helps you have a bright future. Now I am not 15 my future because I'm still learning in my spare time.

Jasmine sat sewing (缝) a handkerchief in the garden. Suddenly, a little insect came running in such a hurry across the small stone. Immediately, an idea 1 Jasmine. She dropped her thimble (顶针) over the little ant. Seeing him running round and round to find the exit, Jasmine thought it was 2 and laughed out loud. As night 3 , she ran away for dinner and forgot all about him.

That night, the rain 4 The handkerchief left outside was wet through as if somebody had been 5 very much. 

The next morning, As Jasmine went out to fetch it, she remembered who was under the thimble. But when she lifted up the thimble, the little tiny ant lay 6 there! 

"Why did you do that, Jasmine?" came Dad's voice. 

"I didn't 7 to, Dad." Jasmine almost cried. 

"See! He moves one of his 8 . Run to the house and get some honey for him!"

Then 9 Jasmine put a drop of honey before the tiny ant. 

Now the ant 10 a fairy tongue (舌头) to enjoy the sweet honey. Soon, he grew well, trying to run. 

"He wants to run home." said Dad. "I know where he lives. In a little round world of ants, under the apple tree."

"And has he got a wife and children—a lot of little ants at home?"

"Well, there are father ants and mother ants, and lots of other ants who are 11 to the little ones. 12 knows his own children, but all the grown-up ones are kind to all the babies. See how he hurries off!"

While they were talking, the little ant was soon 13 among the grass. In a little while came the ant with a group of friends. 

"He has been home and told them the good 14 about the honey," said Dad. "Do you think that all children are as kind as that?"

"No, I don't run to call my friends when I find a good place of blackberries."

"Then," said father, "just learn from the ant, 15 he is only a little tiny thing."
