Hi! I'm Harry. Life used to be kind of difficult for me. The muscles(肌肉) in my arms and legs are weak. I have to be in a wheelchair all day. I can't use my legs at all, and I'm not too great with my hands. If I drop something it stays dropped until someone picks it up for me. I can't open doors or switch lights on and off. Carrying everything I need for school is a problem too.
Now things are easier. I have a helping hand. Pete is a golden dog that has been trained to help kids like me. Pete was at dog training school for two years to learn how to do different tasks. I had to be trained too. I had to learn how to give Pete instructions and how to take care of him.
When Pete is working he doesn't play around. My friends know they are not to pet him or call him when he is working. He can pull my wheelchair and pick up things I drop. Pete carries my books and lunch on his back. He pushes the button on the school lift and opens some kinds of doors. He even knows how to switch lights on.But best of all, Pete is here when I need a friend.

    Jim, a young farmer, was once put into prison (监狱).

    One day, he got a letter from his mother. "I'm so worried about our farm," she wrote. "It's time to plant potatoes. I can't dig(挖) all the fields by myself. "

    Jim read the letter and became sad. "What can I do?" he thought. Then he had a good idea. He wrote to his mother, "Don't dig the fields. There's a pot of money in the earth. Don't plant potatoes until I come home."

    Some days later, Jim got another letter from his mother. It said, "Two days ago, about ten men came to our farm and dug all our fields. I can't understand it. It looks as if they were looking for something. What shall I do?"

    Jim smiled when he read his mother's letter. He wrote a letter to his mother at once. It was very short. Guess what it would say?

When I was a little boy, I was very shy. After class, I often stayed in the playground by myself and watched my 1 plying games. On weekends, I 2 went out to play with other children. 

One day, some of my classmates asked me to play basketball with them. I wanted to 3 them. But I worried that the ball might hit(击中) me on the head and I couldn't play basketball at all. So I said to them, "Sorry, 4 next time. "

That evening I 5 that with my father. He said, "My boy，playing basketball is not a(n) 6 thing. I'm sure you'll have fun 7 the activity. "However, I was 8 worried. I was very short and thin. I couldn't 9 fast. My father said, " If you believe in (相信)yourself, you can do it well. "

The next day, my father took me to a 10 and taught me how to play basketball. At first, I was a slow learner. After hours of practice, I felt that I loved the sport. 

Later, some boys in the park asked me to play basketball 11 . I thought the game should be interesting, so I said yes. 

We worked well 12 we didn't know each other. I ran after the ball and played hard. In the end, 13 got points, so we were all happy and excited. 

After that, I became interested in different 14 . I also made many friends 15 those fun activities. More importantly, I've learned that nothing is difficult if we believe in ourselves. 

Pan Zhanle is a name all the Chinese know now. This summer he made history at Paris 2024 Olympic Games and brought one of the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (最令人激动的) moments for people all over the world. Also, it was the best gift for his {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (第二十个) birthday.

Pan was born in Wenzhou. A large {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (人口) in this city are swimmers. Pan's grandfather is one of them. Pan liked swimming at an early age and often had swimming matches with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (同学) in summer holiday. Nobody at that time believed that the small boy will be named "Chinese Flying Fish" one day. In 2018, he went to Zhejiang Provincial swimming team and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (练习) swimming hard every day. However, he had a big problem at that time—He was not tall enough as a swimmer. "Maybe it is better for you to stop swimming." someone {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (建议). Once again, his grandfather helped him. His coaches helped him a lot in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (训练). Later, in 2023, he got a gold medal in Asian Games. From then on, Pan learned that swimming as much as {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (可能的) might not be difficult. To understand it will be a long {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (旅程) to become a real swimmer and never give up is the most important thing. Now the 20-year-old man is still working for his dream. "I am {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (相当) pleased to make the world record. But it is certainly not the end."
