Project Hope helps people in the poor area build schools. It also helps poor c{#blank#}1{#/blank#} go to school. China's Project Hope has raised lots of m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} every year. It has helped more than 2.5 million poor students s{#blank#}3{#/blank#} it was set up over 20 years ago. So far, the project has collected more than 2.2 billion yuan from China and o{#blank#}4{#/blank#} countries in the world. The money has been used in the building of many Project Hope primary schools.

About 80 percent of the Project Hope schools are in China's middle and w{#blank#}5{#/blank#} areas, because they are still developing.

    Project Hope has helped to b{#blank#}6{#/blank#} faraway learning centers, libraries and video centers. It also helped train school teachers from poor areas.

    Of all the non-government welfare（福利）projects, Project Hope has become the l{#blank#}7{#/blank#}one so far in China. People say that still about 40 million primary school students n{#blank#}8{#/blank#} help around the country, including 34 million primary, junior, and high school students. Mr. Gao, one of the w{#blank#}9{#/blank#} in Project Hope said the organization would t{#blank#}10{#/blank#}to raise more money and help more students in the future.

    One day a dentist (牙医) was starting his morning work. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sudden) a man ran in. His face was red, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he could only say “Quick! Quick!” The dentist thought he must be very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (illness). His assistant (助手) helped to make the poor man sit in the chair. The dentist {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (give) the man some medicine {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) the man sleep. Then, he looked into the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (man) mouth and pulled out all the bad {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (tooth). As soon {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the man woke up，he said in a low voice, “Quick, doctor, quick!”

    “It's all right now”, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} dentist told him, “It is over.”

    “You don't understand.” said the man. “I came to tell you that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} house is on fire."

    My father {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (work) in an office. There {#blank#}2{#/blank#} two large windows in it. One day, a woman in a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (pass) car looks up and sees my father. My father waves his hands, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the woman waves back. This gives my father an idea.

    Later, he changes his way of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (greet) people. He writes signs, like "Hello" or "Be happy". Every afternoon when people go home from work, my father will greet them with the signs. Then they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （give）my father big smiles.

    The day when I came into the world, my father put a sign {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the window, "I'm a new father!" To his surprise, a sign {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (hold) by some people, saying, "Congratulations!"

    My father learns the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (true) in the saying, "You smile, and the whole world smiles with you." And he becomes {#blank#}10{#/blank#} first one who greets strangers with signs every day.

    Every day standing at my information desk, I have to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} lots of questions of the visitors coming from all over the world. People may ask {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the strange things sometimes, I'm often {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at the different questions that people ask.

    I am {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to give information about bus and subway routes(路线) in the city. Of course, visitors always have questions about the best ways of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to some interesting places. But quite often people are interested to know about museums, hospitals or {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . Once a man wants me {#blank#}7{#/blank#} care of his dog, and another {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a woman asked me to watch her seven {#blank#}9{#/blank#}!

    I love my job though I am always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} busy.

    It was early May. As soon as Sophie got home from school. She {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (打开) the mailbox at the gate. There was only one {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (信) in it and it was for Sophie. It looked really {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (奇怪的), because the envelope(信封) didn't say who it was from. There was no stamp on it, either.

    Sophie took out the paper. It read, "Who are you?" Nothing else, only the three words, written by hand and followed by a large question mark. "Who wrote this?" Sophie said to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (她自己). "Maybe a naughty(淘气的) child in the neighborhood, I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (猜测)."But she couldn't stop thinking about the question. After half an hour, she said, "Why am I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (浪费) my time on it? I'll not think about it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (再也)." However, the next day Sophie {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (注意到) another letter in the mailbox. In it there was only one sentence, "Where does the world come from?"

    Why did someone write to Sophie? What did the questions {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (意思是)? Could Sophie find out the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (事实)? I think maybe you should find out the answers in the famous book, Sophie's World, by yourself.
