Jane is a lovely girl and likes small animals. She often walks to school. There is a pet shop near her home.

    On 1 way back from school every afternoon, She always stops in front of the pet shop to 2 the animals. She likes the 3 there. One of them is a little white dog and Jane likes it 4. She likes watching the white dog 5 in the cage. So she often forgets the time and goes back home very 6. But her parents don't know the 7.

    One day, her parents asked 8 she was late. Jane told them about the dogs in the pet shop.

    The next day, Jane 9 to watch the dogs as usual, but she could not 10 the white dog. She was very 11 and went home early. When she got home, her mother 12 her a big cake and her father 13 her a present.

    It was the white dog. How 14 she was! It was her birthday. Jane was very happy. From that day on, she did not come home 15 any more. She ran home early to play with her dog.

    “What does 'doing the right thing' mean to you”? One Friday, my teacher asked our class to think about the question. We would hand in an article on it by Monday, and be prepared to do the things we will1.

    The whole weekend, I was trying to think about something that would2my teacher and be easy to follow. I talked to my parents, called my grandmother and asked my neighbor. Everyone had good3 but I didn't think I could achieve them.

    On Sunday afternoon, my parents said they were going to my Aunt Mary's house. That usually4that I would have to play with my four-year-old cousin Andrea5we visited. I showed her a cartoon, and then I sat down and started to write my article.

    Soon I felt two 6 on me. It was Andrea. “What are you doing?” she asked. “I have to write an article about what 'doing the right thing' means to me.” I answered. Andrea laughed. “That's easy,” she said. “Doing the right thing means being7 to your family and friends. Never lie. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Take a bath when you're dirty.”

    I looked at my little cousin with great 8.Then I jumped up and gave her the biggest hug. Not only had Andrea answered a very difficult question for me, but I could9follow them. All I had to do was to be nice, not to lie, to keep myself clean and healthy. So when I wrote my article, I10the story about Andrea and how she had answered my question.

    Two weeks later, I received my article with an A+ and a little note written by my teacher: “Always do the right thing and give Andrea an A+, too!”

    It's 7: 00 on Sunday morning. Some students are in the post office. They are1 a letter to their good friend Jeff now. He is a 13­year­old English boy. He wishes(希望) to come to China and have a good time here, 2 he doesn't know where the place is. These students write this letter to tell him.

He has lunch and supper in it, but he has to have breakfast outside. 7 the restaurant and the hotel there is a park. There are many beautiful trees and flowers in it. He can ask the8 for help when he has problems. He can go9 the police station.

    He must love this beautiful town. These students welcome him to this10 place.

    Why won't my teacher believe me? I was a1student. I always do my homework. I did2of my work last night, but now I don't have it. My3thinks it's because I'm busy practising basketball for the school game. I am busy, 4that's not why I don't have my homework today, I really did my homework. But my dog ate it! I know, it's an5story. Students say it all the time. But this time, it's6.

    Last night I went home late after practising basketball. So I did my homework and ate dinner7. But I was so careless that I dropped some8on my paper！It was very late, so I didn't copy it on clean paper. I just put it on the table and went to bed, 9that my dog Max loves meat. Later last night, he jumped up onto the table and10my homework. When I got up this morning, there was only a small piece of paper on the floor.

    My father is an office worker. He works nine to five like most of my classmates' fathers. Like most other fathers, he cares a lot about his children. He cares about my health and how I am doing in school. He never 1 any parents' meetings in my school, and he shows up at my school sports day for me. Yes, my father is an ordinary(普通的)father just like the others' fathers.

    But2 most of the others' fathers, my father does a very different and special thing when he is not at work. My father is a 3 in a local hospital. He helps to take care of the sick people. He is happy to speak with them, listen to them, and 4read newspapers for them. Sometimes, he will take me with him, and when I'm there, I see that all the patients, doctors and nurses like my father very much. They always 5 and say hi when they meet him, and some of the 6 patients even run to him for a hug. This shows how 7 he is in the hospital.

    Besides helping in the hospital, my father also encourages us to take part in community services with him 8 he believes that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those 9 more. And he always tells us, "To make 10 happier, you should help others."

    I am glad to have a father who's willing to give and help. I am proud of my father.

    Jack's father died when he was very 2. His mother was often very sick, so she couldn't 3 Jack or his brother. Both of them had to work to help their mother. They worked hard.

    Jack was short but his 4was very big. His wish was to be a great man in the world of film. So he worked very hard to sing and dance. Then one day he had a chance. And he did his best in the film. Many people said excitedly, "We have never seen such a (an) 5film."

    Thirty years later, this boy was one of the most famous people in the world. He made many interesting films. A lot of people 6them.
