Mike is nine this year, but he's 1 in Grade One. He's tall in his class and his 2 is in the last row(排). Miss King usually wears 3 and can't see what the boy does there when she's near the blackboard. Sometimes Miss King asks him some 4. He stands up but doesn't know what she 5. Miss King often phones his father. The man is very busy. He 6 his wife to help Mike, but she doesn't know 7 and can't do that. She can only make him do his homework at home after supper. And she tells the boy she will buy a nice bike for him if he makes 8 in the exam(考试).

    This afternoon Mike 9 happily. When he sees his mother, he says, “I make a hundred this time.” “What?” says the woman, “What do you make it in?”“I make 10 in reading, forty in spelling and twenty in Maths.”

    I'm Ann. I'm English. I'm twelve. I was born on May 17^th, 1991. I learn Chinese at Beijing No.3 Middle School. I have a good friend. Her name is Lucy. She is twelve, too. We are in the same grade. But we are not in the same(同样的) class. I'm in Class Two, and she is in Class Three. We have the same Chinese teacher. Her name is Zhang Ying. We all like her. Lucy's parents are English teachers in China. She has a sister. Her name is Lily. She is only five years old.

    It was a fine spring day with beautiful flowers in the park. A young man arrived early and waited for his 1 under a big tree. But he was so short-tempered (性急的) that he wasn't in the mood to 2 the scenery.

    Suddenly, an angel appeared, "Here is a button (按钮). If you don't want to 3, just turn the button to the right. You can skip over (跳过) any time period if you want to."

    The man happily held the button and turned it softly. Oh! How amazing! His girlfriend appeared before him and was gently 4 him! "How I wish our wedding ceremony could be held now!" He turned the button once again. A great wedding 5 in front of him. The beautiful bride (新娘) was standing next to him and the band was playing 6 music. He lost himself in it deeply.

    The 7 in his heart kept coming out: I also want a big house with a garden in the front. He turned the button. Then he wished for children. All of a sudden, a group of lovely children were playing 8 in the huge living room. Again, he jumped at the chance to tum the button to the right.

    How time flew! Before he could see beautiful flowers in the garden, everything had been covered in deep snow. Looking at himself again, he found his hair totally 9. He had already become so old.

    He felt so sad. He would rather enjoy life step by step than watch it go by in such a hurry. He quickly turned the button to the 10.

    Once again, he was waiting for his lovely girlfriend under that big tree.

A long time ago, there lived a king. Every year, he would spend a lot of money building his palace. One day, the king had a new 1 and he said to his men, "This year, I will build the best2 in the world. It should be praised(称赞)within my kingdom, and by the people of neighboring states. "

After 3 his palace, the king invited noblemen(贵族)from his country, as well as from neighboring states to come. And he asked them to give their 4 about the palace. 

"Unbelievable!It is the most beautiful palace. "the noblemen said. But one man who looked young stood in the corner. He 5 said anything. 

The king wanted to know why the man was6 when someone else was praising his palace. He walked up to the man and asked, "Hello, young man. You keep silent. Is there anything wrong with my palace?" The man smiled and replied in a calm voice, "Your Majesty! Your palace is strong and will last hundreds of years or even7 , It is beautiful but not perfect. Many of your people are still living a 8 life, though your palace looks wonderful.    9 that, I choose to keep silent. "

The king listened to the young man's opinion quietly. Then he10 the wise man for his honest words and said he would never try to rebuild his palace again. Instead, he used the money to help the people in need.
